Keeping Errors At Bay

 

Toulmin's Model of Argument of the text 'Keeping Errors At Bay'

Bertrand Russell (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970)

Claim:

Errors can be avoided by following simple steps.

 

Ground:

To avoid errors you should observe everything before doing any act, have knowledge and be aware of the other’s people perspective different from your own. You must be able to argue with your own imaginary character. You shouldn’t be too proud of yourself. You should try to be less dogmatic and cocksure through realizing the possible reasonableness of a hypothetical opponent. You should be very wary of your opinions that flatter over your self-esteem. Likewise, conquering the fear with wisdom and pursuit of the truth rather than following superstitious taboos can drastically improve your error making attempts.

 

Warrant:

The rules provided in the ground can be followed as they are very simple and realistic. You don’t need to be an expert or genius to avoid errors. You just need to avoid some simple habits and follow above mentioned stuffs.

 

Backing:

Observing everything around you and calculating what to speak or how to act can greatly help to prevent errors. Being aware of the people’s perspective helps you to see universally. Arguing with own character can sharpen your debate skills and make them logistic plus error free. Likewise, loosing fear welcomes efficiency in the work with less errors. Following or accepting the taboos generate long term errors. Keeping aside these kind of superstitions can also keep aside all the errors that you are making.

 

Rebuttal:

Mistakes happen. Human error is the part of the development of civilization. You don’t need to worry about mistakes but worry about how quickly you can learn from them. So, it doesn’t seem necessary to bound yourself with set of rules to avoid something that has benefited your kind from ages.

 

Qualifier:

Even minimal errors can lead to terrors. More often we make errors because we are not able to follow the simple rules and stick to the basics while making an opinion. A simple misunderstanding and lack of integrity can even break a worldwide war. So, these errors can be avoided, they certainly should be. And doing this, keeping the errors at bay- is really simple once you get used to.
