Creating a Sound Argument Workshop

Follow the steps below and take a look at the Week Two Example Paper
download
for an example of how to complete this paper.
Step 1: State a thesis statement on your topic.
This thesis statement does not have to end up being your final position on the subject, but for this workshop, it will serve as the position you will be defending. Your thesis statement is the conclusion of your argument.
Example: If my topic is the moral acceptability of capital punishment, my thesis could be that capital punishment is not morally acceptable.
Step 2: Present your main reason or reasons in favor of your thesis.
These reasons are the premises of your argument. State your argument in standard form.
Example: If my thesis is that capital punishment is not morally acceptable, and my reason is that it sometimes kills innocent human beings, then my argument would be the following:
Premise 1: Capital punishment sometimes kills innocent human beings.
Conclusion: Capital punishment is not morally acceptable.
Step 3: State the new premise (or premises) that would be needed in order to make this argument valid.
This new premise provides what is needed to link (in a valid way) the first premise(s) to the stated conclusion. For more guidance on how to do this, review the assigned sections of Chapter 3 in your textbook, and watch the videos What Is a Valid Argument?
(Links to an external site.)
and How to Make a Sound Deductive Argument
(Links to an external site.)
.
In the above example, the new premise needed to make the argument valid would be the following:
Premise 2: It is not morally acceptable to do anything that sometimes kills innocent human beings.
The new premise connects the first premise to the conclusion in a way that makes the argument logically valid.
Step 4: Discuss whether the new premise is true (in your view) and why.
Does it have any counter examples? If it is not true (in your view), then how could you modify it so that it is true but still supports the conclusion? If it is true (in your view), how might you respond to a likely objection to it?
In the example above, the new premise may not be true. A counterexample could be war. Wars typically kill at least some innocent human beings, but that does not make all of them morally unacceptable.
To figure out how to modify the premise, one can ask the following: What is the difference between good wars and capital punishment? Perhaps it is that good wars are necessary to prevent greater overall harm.
So, one might change the premise to, It is not morally acceptable to do anything that sometimes kills innocent human beings, unless it is necessary to prevent greater overall harm. This new version of the premise shows what is wrong with capital punishment without also entailing that war is always wrong.
Step 5: State the new version of the argument in standard form, adding any other premises needed to complete the reasoning (meaning to make it valid).
The new argument becomes the following:
Premise 1: Capital punishment sometimes kills innocent human beings.
Premise 2: It is not morally acceptable to do anything that sometimes kills innocent human beings unless it is necessary to prevent greater overall harm.
Premise 3: Capital punishment is not necessary to prevent greater overall harm.
Conclusion: Capital punishment is not morally acceptable.
Step 6: Discuss whether the new argument is deductively valid and whether all of its premises are true.
If your argument meets both of these requirements (namely that it is valid and all premises are true), then you have an apparently sound argument; great job! If not, then go back to the steps above and repeat until you have a sound argument and revise Step 5 until it meets both requirements. (so that what you post under Step 5 above is your final, sound version).
Step 7: Once you have an (apparently) sound argument, present an objection to it.
Imagine for a moment that you are a smart person with the opposite perspective on this issue. What would be your best objection to the argument that you just gave? It can be an objection to the truth of one of the premises or to the validity of the reasoning, or it can be a counter argument intended to override your argument. In any case, express here what you take that best objection to be.

2. Why or why not? Explain and support your opinion.
You must use at least two outside credible sources in your essay.

Cases Studies Primary Care

A 47-year-old male patient (A) presents to your office c/o painful and bleeding defecation that started a
couple of days ago. Pt also states that he noticed some intermittent pruritus on his back. Pt comes to
your consultation accompanied by his male husband of 45 years old (Patient B), who suddenly states to
you that he had noticed a painless blister on his genital area, but he is not quite sure when it
appeared.
Patient A: With no past or family relevant history and with no known allergies (NKA).
Patient B: With a PMH of seasonal allergic rhinitis and NKA. No other family or relevant history.
On complete physical examination of both patients your assessment reveals the following findings:
On Patient A: You noticed a visible anal fissure in the inferior region of the anal sphincter. Besides, you
also noticed disseminated papules in the trunk and macules on palms and soles (as shown below).
Patient B: On examination, you noticed a visible ulceration in the genital area, and patient denies any
pain on palpation. On general assessment, no adenopathy noted or reported by patient (B).

Since both patients are a marital couple, you proceed with serological testing for each patient (A & B).
You suspect a sexually transmitted disease. On your verbal assessment, both patients (A&B) deny having
or being treating in the past for STDs in the past, to which you believe.
Lab Results:
Patient A: Leukocytosis – Treponema (Positive) Non-Treponema (Positive) HIV (Negative) Hepatitis
(Negative)
Patient B: Treponema (Positive) Non-treponema (Negative) HIV (negative) Hepatitis (Negative)
——————— Do not include the above section in your paper. Please answer the following questions in APA format and include in-text references.
1) What serological lab works would you order to obtain the above results? (Be specific with the lab
names)
2) What is the diagnosis for Patient A?
3) What is the diagnosis for Patient B?
4) What would it be the differential diagnosis for patient A and patient B? (be specific. Your diagnosis
contains stages. Therefore, be specific on them)
5) How are you going to treat Patient A? (Be specific and include the time of treatment)
6) How are you going to treat Patient B? (Be specific and include the time of treatment)
7) What would be the possible cause of this infection if both patients did not have any sexual encounter
outside their relationship in the last year? Again, you believe both patients did not have any sexual
encounter outside their marital sexual relationship.
