Response Peter Boxer Phiri
Hello Peter, I think we should not stop employers from conducting criminal background checks. Criminal background checks help employers to know any criminal history of the applicants. As a result, the employer is able to know how to treat the applicant. Conduction of criminal background may bar ex-convicts from getting a good job. The type of reasoning is causal. Causal reasoning explains the relationship between a cause and effect (Waldmann, 2017). An example in my speech would be social-economic welfare makes ex-convicts miss good jobs. It is causal reasoning because criminal background checks (cause) affect the social-economic status of ex-convicts (effect).

Response to Tiauna Buckner
Hello Tiauna, if given $ 1,000 without the requirement for working adults should spend the amount on foodstuffs. Universal basic income will not solve financial problems because if there is no limit on what it can be spent on. Households have many financial needs, and a universal basic income would not be enough to cater for such needs. The type of reasoning is inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning helps to arrive at conclusions by citing examples (Hayes & Heit, 2018). an example in my speech would be universal basic income would not solve all financial needs even if it is given monthly without limit. I know it is inductive reasoning because, from repeated observations, I have known that universal income may not solve all financial problems.

Response to Junwoo Kim
Hello Junwoo, the United States is good at recycling, although there is still a lot to do regarding recycling. We need to recycle well to prevent more wastes from draining into our rivers. If waste material gets into the rivers, it makes the marine environment risky for marine animals and birds. The type of reasoning is causal reasoning. Causal reasoning explains the relationship between a cause and effect (Waldmann, 2017). An example in my speech would be that the recycling system should be improved so as to conserve the environment. My example is causal reasoning because an improved recycling system will help residents live in a healthy environment.
