As a student of critical thinking, you are at a conference and you hear one of the panellists utter the statement that "a cellular phone is a phone that is cellular" How might you explain to the speaker the problem with this assertion? Suggest an alternative definition and explain to the speaker why your alternative does a better job than his.

Respuesta :

The way I would explain to the speaker the meaning of his statement is that I would tell him that the meaning is connotative and not literal.

The alternative definition I would tell him

I would tell him that instead of describing a cellular phone as one that is cellular, it is better to call it a smartphone.

Hence. we can see that by referring to the phone as a smartphone, it does not have one meaning, and removes confusion, and then you would have to explain the uses of a smartphone.
