Japanese schools do not as a general rule teach these concepts to their students. The philosophical differences between Confucian based societies and Greek based societies tend to minimize the importance of logic based decision making in Japan. Therefore it is necessary for teachers in Japan to introduce students to the basis concepts of logic and reasoning: deductive and inductive reasoning, fallacies and the basic types of reasoning. These are essential if the students are to effectively master debate.}, pages = {173--180}, title = {Teaching debate in Japan : part three teaching logic and reasoning}, volume = {19}, year = {2014} }
