Debates about policy, philosophy, theology, and ethics abound in social media between family, friends, and strangers, and these arguments can get very heated. Symbolic logic is an objective way to evaluate an argument’s logical consistency. For this assignment, summarize the author’s argument in the following article:
• The Virtues of Patriotism, the Vices of Nationalism
Look to include the following elements in your analysis:
• Deconstruct the author’s main points into symbolic statements (symbolic letters and operators need to be used together to create symbolic statements)
• Use Venn diagrams and/or truth tables to examine the soundness of the author’s argument
• Discuss the results of your examination and the limitations of your analysis
• Demonstrate how the author’s argument could be applied to a different subject
