Week 5: Question 1

I’m going to fix the argument “You shouldn’t drink coffee because it has caffeine. Caffeine makes you never want to sleep.” This argument is not bad but it also is not the best is could be. This argument is rhetorical and is missing the premise and has the conclusion in the first sentence. Saying “caffeine makes you never want to sleep” is true but will not give us a conclusion for the argument of why you should not drink coffee. Both of the statements are true but they are missing the glue that corresponds them together. You could fix the argument by saying “You shouldn’t drink coffee because it has a lot of caffeine and you wont be able to sleep after.” It is obvious that if you want to sleep you shouldn’t drink coffee with caffeine but we tend to ignore this because statements like this happen all the time.
