RE: Week 4 | Discussion
In my opinion the best was to deliver bad news in in person, not in writing but if I had to deliver bad news in writing I would choose deductive reasoning.
Deductive reasoning starts with generalized principles that are known to be true, given additional facts and statement as to the bad news and finish up with the bad news. This reasoning does not give room for leading the receiver up to the bad news. Inductive reasoning is quite the opposite, is starting the deliver specific to more general message. Deductive methods sum’s the bad news in the opening paragraph providing the reader with a clear understanding of what is happening.
The story chose was a recent message from Mr. Tump in regards to the current US shutdown, covered by CBS and can be located https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-major-announcement-today-humanitarian-crisis-southern-border-mexico-twitter/.The story talks about how Mr. Trump wants to negotiate and immigration proposal for the wall funding.The message doesn’t not share facts, Mr. Trump proposes a temporary fix for immigration in the US but has specific amount on what he will get as far as funding for no permanent fix.This is a message goes on to provide speculations.Mr. Trumps talks about a crisis in the boarder but provides no facts. The then goes to threaten the politicians that if they don’t come to an agreement he has the power to and is considering declaring national emergency. Reading this message nothing states Mr Trump looking to come to an agreement, the message states we have a crisis, I need to fix it my way and I want my funding, my way or the highway.
