In this scene, Taya assumed that Kyle must have the same negative attitudes such as arrogant and self-centered just like the other members of SEALs because he was one of them. This is clearly an inductive reasoning because it was based on someone’s opinion and thought. All the nine critical reading standards which are clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, significance and fairness are not being applied in this situation.

    A good reasoning is a reasoning that leads to certain, true and valid conclusions. There are two kinds of reasoning, inductive and deductive reasoning. Both processes include the process of finding a conclusion from multiple premises although the way of approach may differ. Deductive reasoning uses general premises to make a specific conclusion; inductive reasoning uses specific premises to make a generalized conclusion.

Most of the jurors who initially say that the boy is guilty, use inductive reasoning to prove that what they are saying is correct, whether it makes sense or not, or if it has logic incorporated into their reasoning and conclusion that they were trying to present.
