Introduction

Both inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are two methods used to arrive at a conclusion based on the information which is known to be true and are mostly used in research for hypothesis (Moore & Parker, 2006, p. 6).

Deductive reasoning moves from a general situations to a more specific situations, sometimes is called the top-down approach of reasoning (Moore & Parker, 2006, p. 6). Here we think about a topic then we narrow it down to address that situation. While in inductive reasoning we move from specific observations to a general observation and sometimes we can call it bottom up approach (Moore & Parker, 2006, p. 6). In this type of approach, we formulate questions then we finally we end up with a general conclusion.

Article Democrats focus on jobs creation

Democratic Party is shifting it focus on the creation of jobs in the US economy. A bill is already in the congress at the moment, with this bill the focus will be on the creation of new jobs in the country (Calmes, 2010, p. A1). This coming Tuesday, 25 May, 2010 President Obama will be heading to the state of Ohio to open a new steel plant, it is a way of showing the government is committed in creating Jobs in the country for the youth (Calmes, 2010, p. A1).

The Republican is united in opposition of the bill that has been tabled before the congress, because the country at the moment is undergoing unusual economic times because the country has not yet come out of recession. The Republican as a party agrees with Obama the economy need an injection to help it move from recession but at the same time the government must play it leading role as a major employer in the country by hiring more workers in all sectors. But it is not only by passing the employment bill that will reduce the unemployment in the country if the banks will not lend to the businesses in the country there will be still unemployment in the nation (Calmes, 2010, p. A1).

Summary of the Article

In a deductive argument, we talk on the factors which contributed to the economy recession that was experienced in the Unites States economy recently that led to the increase of unemployment in the country. Some of these factors were; the banks did not lend to the small businesses that constitute 50 per cent of the economy and the government did not hire workers in the Institution that are controlled by the government, like schools and hospitals. The Republicans are saying if you want the economy to grow the government must play it role as a major employer in the country, by hiring more workers in public institution. In other words the economy will not only grow as a result of this employment bill that is before the senate, this other factor of the Government employing and banks giving loans will also contribute to the economy growing.

In an inductive argument we move from a specific observation/situation(s), to a general observation/situation(s). The United States economy (specific observation/situation(s)) and we examine the factors that contribute to its stunted growth in the period between 2006 and 2009 (growth being a general situations). We have seen this general situation that contributes to the economic recessions in the country during the period from 2006 to 2009, due to be lack of government employing more people in all the government departments and the banks were not lending to the citizen of the United States. If the government wants the economy (specific situation) to grow it must play it role as a major employer in the country by employing more people in all the government institutions, for example in hospitals and schools.

Conclusion

A deductive argument is based on principles or generalization in an argument. Here we have generalized from the factors that contribute to economy recessions to economy while in inductive argument we are moving from specific argument (economy) to a general argument.
