176 Unit 4 Applied critical thinking
2 Find an example of an argument based on
analogy – or write one yourself. Critically
examine it, like we examined the example
in the ‘Thrill of the chase’ passage, and
decide whether or not it does its job
successfully.Answers and comments are on page 325.1 In paragraph 3 of ‘Thrill of the chase’ it is
observed that car chases can be fun for
all the participants. In paragraph 5 it is
implied that car thieves are predominantly
bored young men looking for excitement.
How could these claims be developed
to counter the argument of some police
officers that banning police pursuit would
lead to an increase in car theft?End-of-chapter assignments
