Universal Syllogism

This week we learned about many concepts in the websites and the readings, one concept I found that was important was Universal Syllogism. The concept of universal syllogism is made up of claims that are universal or universal claims. The first claim is the major premise that describes the entire group. The second claim is the minor premise and places the third group (Mission Critical Website). An example of this concept

If all jellybeans in the bag are juicy pear
Then a jellybean I pick out will be juicy pear

Or

If all the jellybeans are in the bag is juicy pear
If I have a jellybean that is not juicy pear then it’s not from the bag

The concept was a bit confusing at first but after the website gave some examples and went more in-depth into the concept it became easier to understand. This concept is very interesting and I will defiantly try to use it in later arguments and discussion.
