Sociological Argument

Analogical Argument

2. Analogue: doctors and lawyers Primary Subject: travel agents Similarity: jobs that give public service with years of training Property: must also give the most safety and comfort in service Although there are many relevant similarities between the analogue and the primary subject (e.g. jobs that give public service with years of training), they are outweighed by the relevant dissimilarities, most important of which is the difference in the level of training and responsibilities. Doctors and lawyers get more years of deeper, more intense and more scientific level of training than travel agents. This is because they also hold greater responsibilities than travel agent, most important of which involve cases of
they are the foundation of children’s education and future), there are more relevant dissimilarities, most important of which is the different basis that build and hold family and college. Family is built on the basis of blood relations, or, in special cases, it is mainly relationships in domestic life and financial dependence, with the emotional relations that come with it.

Also, taking steroids may mean a faster way of winning, where at some level might be considered cheating. However, taking the risk of death and serious injuries in sports is absolutely not cheating. Therefore, this is a weak argument. 10. Analogue: singing someone else’s song Primary Subject: plagiarism (downloading papers from the internet) Similarity: both are about using someone else’s creation Property: should be taken as lightly Although there are relevant similarities between the primary subject and the analogue (e.g. they are both about using someone else’s creation), they are outweighed by the relevant dissimilarities, most important of which is about the claiming of ownership. Singing someone else’s song is not claiming that song as one’s own, while downloading papers from the Internet is the same as claiming that the papers are one’s creations. In other words, singing someone else’s song is not exactly plagiarism and
