Guiding Question Week 4
One field that shares a surprising amount of commonality with mathematics, in terms of precise and logical reasoning, is law. If a jury is to establish that someone is innocent or guilty, the legal teams have a burden to make strong, convincing arguments. These arguments often translate to very dramatic scenes in movies and TV shows which I will confess, I am a huge fan of. We can learn a thing or two from them nevertheless! Take a look at the two following clips:
- In this first clip, what are they key arguments put forward by the lawyer? are you convinced by his reasoning?
- In this second clip, focus on the first 30 seconds of the argument shared. Is it convincing to you? how does it differ from the prior clip?
