Plato and Theatetus: Wax On-Wax Off
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) In Theatetus (lines 188-196) ,Plato attempts to explain how we can arrive at false decisions, he labels these false thinking strategies as "false judgments." But before we know, which judgments are false, or faulty, we first need to know how we determine whether things are true or not. It is not that one bit of knowledge is impossible without the other, but it is usually the style of Greek philosophers to lead us, to answer our own question, in a logical, and sequential manner. Thus, before something is determined as false, we will have to look at how we know that something is true. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Pragma-Dialectic Approach To Argument
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. The art of argument ranges from formal debates through careful scholarly discussion to heated encounters, fierce arguments and quarrels. What likelihood is there that the enormous range of argumentation can be served, identified, or modeled by one theory. Do the extremes -- or even the edges – of the center have enough in common to be considered together? Not likely, inasmuch as the form of argument can differ just as significantly as the people involved. Discord among human beings is a normal, daily event at all stages of life; however, it is the manner in which such antagonism is addressed that determines how effective the outcome will ultimately be. The writer discusses argumentation as it relates to van Eemeren and Grootendorst's pragma-dialectic theory. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Process Model of Communication
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing and evaluating the process (or transmission) model of communication. This model is one that seeks to explain mechanisms by which linear communication occurs and is received by the listener. “The listener” in the process model often is not an individual, but rather an entire audience, generally without respect to demographic characteristics of that audience and certainly without regard for individual characteristics such as gender and class. This lack of distinction severely limits the process model’s ability to describe or predict any audience response. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
