Identify the type of syllogism and analyze the validity and soundness of the syllogism.
Argument in everyday life is something that is often riddled with fallacies. Social media arguments, including comment sections in most major publications, have become infamous for their lack of logic. For this discussion, you need to find an example of an argument in a social media post. This could be from mainstream social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc.) or from the comment section following a news article.
1. Post a summary of the argument or a link to the comments. Please redact identifying information (names, handles, etc).
2. Identify at least two fallacies in the argument(s). This may come from multiple people in the discussion thread, or it may be multiple fallacies in the primary argument itself. Explain which fallacies are being used, what makes it that particular type of fallacy, and evaluate the effectiveness of the fallacious argument in the context of the comment thread.
3. Demonstrate at least one syllogism in the argument thread. Identify the type of syllogism and analyze the validity and soundness of the syllogism.

Assignment: Patient Education for Children and Adolescents
Patient education is an effective tool in supporting compliance and treatment for a diagnosis. It is important to consider effective ways to educate patients and their families about a diagnosis—such as coaching, brochures, or videos—and to recognize that the efficacy of any materials may differ based on the needs and learning preferences of a particular patient. Because patients or their families may be overwhelmed with a new diagnosis, it is important that materials provided by the practitioner clearly outline the information that patients need to know.
For this Assignment, you will pretend that you are a contributing writer to a health blog. You are tasked with explaining important information about an assigned mental health disorder in language appropriate for child/adolescent patients and/or their caregivers.
To Prepare
· Research signs and symptoms for your diagnosis, pharmacological treatments, nonpharmacological treatments, and appropriate community resources and referrals.
