When analyzing arguments, it's important that you look for obvious errors in logic, such as irrelevant evidence and careless comparisons. However, in addition to errors in logic, you also need to determine the author's underlying assumptions, or beliefs, about human nature and the world at large. Unstated assumptions about what's right or wrong, important or unimportant, often form the foundation of an argument.

Thank you in advance for your help.
