8V The Art of Mastery

Here are a few words that I have learned this week in a couple of my classes!

Mastery- is the comprehensive knowledge or skill in a subject or accomplishment. 

When you master something you have accomplished what you were supposed to learn or the process of it. For example, lets say that I have been practicing an instrument and I have been gradually getting better at it. After practicing for a long time I have acquired the mastery of the instrument because I have learned how to play it very well. 

Questionable Cause- when an arguer claims without sufficient evidence that one thing is the cause of something else. I'll give you an example. Say that I was sick and I drank some tea when I was sick and that tea is a cure to my sickness because it cured me and I was no longer sick after I drank it.

Slippery Slope Fallacy- a claim without sufficient evidence that seemingly harmless action, if taken, will lead to a disastrous outcome. An example of this is would be if someone said that is weapons that are only used specifically in war are made legal for everyone in the states to obtain then there would be more violence actions and crimes due to that being made legal.

I hope you learned something new from these words just like I did! There will be another set next week!
