Logical and Ethical Arguments

Logical and Ethical ArgumentsLogical and ethical arguments are two types of arguments that are often thought of as two sides of the same coin. For example, are the children's healthcare benefits of an employer-based plan the same as the adult healthcare benefits of the same plan?What would you say to the logical argument of an employer - whether private or public - whose workers have little access to care? Is there a public option that can provide similar benefits?I am not saying that this is not a logical argument. There are arguments that people make that are different on different sides of an argument. The difference between the argument of a manager of a nursing home who is opposed to many of the anti-homelessness measures that are proposed, and a professional saying that such measures are a violation of someone's human rights? There is a difference in these two sets of arguments, a difference in commitment and logic.And there is a difference between a lawyer who argues for the l egal right of homeowners to confront bad tenants with proof of damages, and someone who makes an argument that supports the security of a tenant in a bad neighborhood, not a relationship to the crime. This is just a logical argument, and there is an argument to be made in favor of the landlord's right to evict the tenant. If you hold a position in any of the different forms of public service, and you can make a logical argument in your favor, make it.Is there a difference between a certain argument, one that is rooted in or a logical argument, one that isn't? Well, this goes to the heart of an argument. It is a position that you can present in support of your position that if a policy is right for one set of people, it is wrong for another set of people.I remember reading in a textbook, 'If you will not be governed by any law, not only you but also everybody else is subject to your jurisdiction' and the implication was that people didn't have freedom in their own countries because t he other governments forced their laws. Another example would be 'All citizens of the United States are obligated to vote for the policies of the United States government. There is no way to serve the rights of the American citizen other than by voting for those policies. Therefore, the will of the American citizen can be relied upon to support the policies of the United States government.'It is an argument based on logic and science, and a logical argument is the proof of that truth. When you're making an argument, do not take this to be just a position that you will defend because it is your cause.
