Week 7: Analogical Thinking

An analogy is a comparison between two objects, or systems of objects, that highlights respects in which they are thought to be similar. Analogical reasoning is any type of thinking that relies upon an analogy. An analogical argument is an explicit representation of a form of analogical reasoning that cites accepted similarities between two systems to support the conclusion that some further similarity exists. In general (but not always), such arguments belong in the category of inductive reasoning, since their conclusions do not follow with certainty but are only supported with varying degrees of strength. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/reasoning-analogy/

On week 7 we learnt that one can be inspired by their surroundings no matter how dumb that object may looks to you it can be meaningful toward others. It always depend on how you look at certain things. 

As a group(me,raj and taufiq) we went around school searching for shapes and forms that have been inspired by another thing.
