What is the logic of this template?

Facts and phenomena that do not need to be corroborated, gain the trust of readers.

Write about the problems you find, or the hidden dangers. If there are no problems or hidden dangers, so can opportunities. The key is to have ups and downs.

Among them, the conflict of the second step is the most important.

Three types of conflicts:

The first is restitution (resolution of unfavorable situations that arise).

The second is to prevent hidden dangers (eliminate hidden dangers that have already appeared).

The third is the pursuit of ideals (making up for the gap and realizing the ideal).

SCQA sorting.

First, get straight to the point ASC: Answers, Situations, Conflicts.

Second, go with the flow SCQA: Situation, Conflict, Question, Answer.

The third type is the conflict-pre-CSA: conflict, situation, answer.

Story 1: George Bernard Shaw, an Irish writer, sits alone at a party and thinks about his own thoughts.

A wealthy American man was very curious, and he came up to him and said, "Mr. George Bernard Shaw, I would like to give you a dollar to ask what you are thinking?" ”

George Bernard Shaw glanced up at the rich man, and after a little thought, said, "What I think is not worth a dollar." ”

The rich man was even more curious and asked, "So, what exactly are you thinking?" ”

George Bernard Shaw smiled and said, "What I think of is you!" ”

End of story....George Bernard Shaw's thought process, if it is summarized in logical language, is: what I think is not worth a dollar; That rich man is what I think; So, that rich man is not worth a dollar. George Bernard Shaw's thought process, in terms of the form of thought, is an inference consisting of three statements, without which the inference cannot exist.

It is indisputable that the mind belongs exclusively to human beings. Even the most favored apes, monkeys, dolphins, etc., cannot have the attribute of thinking, because thinking is connected by language, and animals without language and writing do not have thinking. Logic, thinking form, and language form are inseparable, and understanding this will help us improve our logical thinking ability.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a tyrannical king who once caught a man who opposed him and had to put him to death. Although the king wanted to put his opponents to death, he pretended to be merciful on the surface: "Let God decide the fate of this poor man, and I will allow him to say a word before his execution, and if he tells the truth, he will be beheaded by the sword; If he tells a lie, then he will be hanged; Only when his words silence me are God's will for me to forgive him.

Behind the king's high-sounding words, there was his wishful thinking; Although it is you who say it, it is up to me to determine whether it is true or false, so it is not up to me to say whether to be cut or hanged. Think about it, what should the opponent say to save his life? Maybe you can come up with it, if you can't, I tell you, the naysayers say:

I will be hanged. We analyze this sentence using the knowledge of logical reasoning. If the king judges that this statement is true, then according to the king's rules, the opponent should be beheaded.

However, the opposite is that he is "going to be hanged", so it is clear that he cannot be considered the truth. If the king is found to be a lie, then the opponent will be hanged according to the rules for telling a lie, but the opponent is saying that he is "hanged", which shows that his words are true. Therefore, the words of the opponents cannot be characterized as false.

Since the king could not justify himself, in order to save his own face, he had to let go of the opponents. When talking about the importance of logical reasoning, you can use such examples, which students will find interesting and increase their interest in logical reasoning, which is helpful for learning logical reasoning well.

More is not necessarily good, I will say one, if you think it is good, collect it. There were dozens of geckos jumping around on two walls about two meters apart, and suddenly one of the geckos accidentally fell, and then the other geckos also fell one after another, asking why? Answer:

Because a gecko fell, the other geckos were gloating and applauding with joy, just imagine, the gecko raised its two front hands and applauded, so how can it be stable with only two hind feet? So the other geckos also fell down.
