Argument 46
“ Although black bears common in the eastern Canadian province of Labrador, grizzly bears—often similar in color, but much larger—were believed to exist only in the western province. Despite a nineteenth-century explorer’s account of having startled and narrowly escaped from a grizzly bear deep in the woods in Labrador, modern scientists find no physical evidence that grizzly bears have ever lived in Labrador. But recent research into the language and legends of the innu, a people who have lived in Labrador for thousands of years, reveals that their language has words for two different kinds of bears, and their ancient legends attribute different characteristics to the two kinds of bears. Therefore , there probably were grizzly bears in Labrador , and the explorer’s account probably accurately identified the bear.”











The conclusion in this argument is that there probably grizzly bears in Labrador. To substantiate this claim, the arguer provide the evidence that a explorer’s account of having startled and narrowly escaped from a grizzly bear deep in the woods in Labrador in nineteenth-century. In addition, he also cites the result of recent study that language and legends of Innu, a people who have lived in Labrador for thousands of years, therefore, the arguer takes it for granted that grizzly bears have ever lived in Labrador. This reasoning is flawed in several aspects, a careful examination of this argument would reveal how groundless the conclusion is. So , I will discuss each of these facets in turn.


In the first place, the arguer commits a fallacy of that explorer’s account is real. He neglects to establish a causal relationship between human’s feeling and reflection. From this argument, obviously we know there is a frightened explorer in that example. We can think about, under this situation which a huge bear rushing to you, at this moment for you that the only belief is how to escape from this catastrophe rather than to observe what shape the bear like. Maybe the bear is a black bear larger than the common black bears, in addition, grizzly bears are often similar in color with black bears, thereby the explorer probably makes a mistake, this uncommon black bear is a grizzly bear. From this conclude, this account in the argument lacks credibility.


The major problem with this argument is that the arguer fails to rule out the possibility that the language of Innu has
words for two different kinds of bears, and their ancient legends attribute different characteristics to the two kinds of bears.


One weakness worth pointing out is that arguer ignores that
before thousands of years, first, the people who lived in Labrador and other places, no matter the interflow on cultural , economic and traditional have been had a great development. Second, most people of course include Innu, they have had tool to record, as a result , it is easy to conclude that there is description about black and grizzly bears in the language and legends of Innu.


Another weakness worth pointing out is that the arguer also neglects to another possibility is that the Innu perhaps lived in another place where grizzly bears in it, long long ago. Due to all kinds of reasons, such as earthquake, flood, drought and pestilence and so on which is irresistible factors.
Accordingly, the original place of residence with Innu is no longer fit to live. So the Innu might have immigrated from the western provinces to Labrador thousands of years ago. As the result, there have words and attributions in their language and legends of Innu.


To sum up, although this argument has some merits, several critical flaws seriously undermine the line of reasoning. The evidence cited in the analysis does not lend strong support to what the arguer maintains. So, the conclusion reached in this argument is invalid and misleading. Before we accept the conclusion, the arguer must present more evidences to prove that grizzly bears have ever lived in Labrador. Only in this way,
it can make it logically acceptable.
