Argument Evaluation
There is no one right way to evaluate arguments. The kind of evaluation which is appropriate may vary based on the nature of the argument being evaluated. With that in mind, use your best judgment. Optionally, consider the following questions. You need not answer them in your paper at all. They are meant as suggested prompts only.

Answering them all will not necessarily guarantee you have produced an effective analysis. [Moral Issues In Society]
1. How does each argument function?
2. Is the argument logically sound or has some flaw in reasoning been committed?
3. If assumptions implicit in the argument are rejected, is the argument still convincing?
4. Will the argument only be convincing to a reader who shares certain values with those making the argument?

5. Are the obligations important to those making the argument really obligatory, and does their position represent the only way these obligations can be met?
6. Are consequences of the view being argued for desirable?
7. Do we have a moral imperative to bring about the consequences of the view being argued for, and if so, is the view being argued for the only way to bring about these consequences?
