INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE PARAGRAPH??

INDUCTIVE

An inductive paragraph begins with either evidence or reasons leading to the statement of the writer’s summary at the end of the paragraph. Inductive paragraphs are therefore ‘conclusion-oriented’. The main conclusion is the most important part of the reasoning and usually comes at the end of a paragraph.

CONTOH PARAGRAF INDUKTIF

"Oceans have ingredients which can benefit human health. Several important medical treatments are based on chemicals discovered in marine animals. On the other hand, increasingly common phenomena such as harmful algal blooms have demonstrated their negative impact on human health. The health of marine ecosystems is affected by human activities such as pollution, global warming, and over fishing. But at the same time, human health depends on thriving ocean ecosystems. We need a better understanding of the many ways marine organisms affect human health, both positively by providing drugs and bio-products, and negatively by causing human ailments"

DEDUCTIVE

In a deductive paragraph, the claim is usually provided in the first sentence of the paragraph. The sentence containing

the claim, which is the main point of the paragraph, is often referred to as the ‘topic sentence’. The topic sentence is then developed in the rest of the paragraph with evidence and reasoning supporting the initial claim.

While several important medical treatments are based on chemicals discovered in marine animals, increasingly common phenomena such as harmful algal blooms have demonstrated their negative impact on human health. The health of marine ecosystems is affected by human activities such as pollution, global warming, and over fishing. But human health in turn depends on thriving ocean ecosystems.
