concept: Inductive Reasoning

Inductive reasoning is reasoning that we all use to go from the specific to the general. For example, If I listen to a song and say that it's good I use inductive reasoning to say that other songs from the same band must also be good. Inductive reasoning is best used with a lot of concrete examples and facts. Using the facts will help support your claim since you making a more logical thinking pattern since you don't actually know if other songs from the same band are actually good. So convincing your audience that they are will take some facts to support your claim so audience members can better view your concept and support it. This is why inductive reasoning is also called "reasoning by example," because your giving examples to support your reasoning so that audience members get a better grasp of what your talking about and are more likely to be convinced.
