TFY chapter 5

chapter 5 Assumptions !!


An assumption is something we take for granted, something we accept prematurely as being true, something we don’t check out carefully.It can be conscious or unconscious, warranted or unwarranted.



Bottom line:Assumption=premise;a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn."on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer that he will not play";a hypothesis that is taken for granted,"any society is built upon certain assumption"the act of taking possession of or power over something.his assumption of office coincided with the trouble in Cuba"."the Nazi assumption of power in 1934""he acquired all the company's assets for ten million dollars and the assumption of the company's debts"
