Strong VS Valid Arguments

To begin with, a strong argument is based on if the premises are true. A strong argument is the perfect example of inductive reasoning. The argument will most likely be true based on the person’s past experiences. For instance, my best friend’s favorite clothing store is Forever 21. A majority of her clothes come from Forever 21. Thus, for her birthday I bought her a gift card from Forever 21. I assumed that out of all the stores she goes to that Forever 21 would be the best choice. This statement has a high probability, but it is not necessarily true. She may want a gift card from a different store.

A valid argument is based on logical thinking. For example, students need to apply to colleges in order to get accepted. The logical reasoning in this statement is that a majority of the students have to file applications of admissions to colleges to get accepted.
