A inductive paragraph It is a paragraph in which the main idea is exposed at the end of it. In the introduction and development of these paragraphs, arguments that conclude in the main idea are explained. That is to say, the arguments are exposed and then the thesis that they support is explained.
Therefore, its structure goes from the particular and specific, to the macro and universal. The secondary ideas are explained at the beginning of the text, and from the sum of these ideas the main idea is created, in the end and as a conclusion.
Examples of inductive paragraphs
Inductive paragraphs are flexible and can be used in any area of knowledge. They are especially useful to create a strong conclusion.
Example 1
In the morning I did not feel like cooking, so I went out to buy breakfast. I considered buying bread and sausages at the bakery below, but decided to take a walk and study my options.
There was a lady in the market selling a combo of 2 empanadas and a juice. Further on there was a cafeteria, there were baked chicken pies and pies.
Then I stumbled upon a small restaurant that serves continental breakfasts. Finally I decided to go to the bakery to buy bread and sausages, so I would spend less money.
Example 2
The planet Earth is the only home we have. There is no evidence that it is possible to migrate to some corner of the galaxy in the coming decades.
The treatment we have given our homes is regrettable; pollution, the indiscriminate felling of trees, oil spills in the oceans. All these aspects deteriorate the state and balance of planet Earth.
The biggest contradiction is that by destroying the Earth we destroy the only place where we can live. So it is time to become aware and do everything possible to remedy the damage that has already been done, to save ourselves.
Example 3
In learning by self-management, the demands are self-imposed, the goals are drawn by the individual to himself, and he must fulfill them by himself.
In this sense, self-management is a double-edged sword, because without a supervisory figure the temptation to be negligent is stronger. Therefore, learning self-management requires a lot of discipline and motivation.
Example 4
The story I'm going to tell you is a story about naivety and youth. On how the unexpected can give you more than you thought you could receive.
A story that brought down my thickest walls and made me see that I did not really believe in anything I believed. That sounds confusing, but it is not. Let me explain; This is a story of many things, but above all it is a love story.
Example 5
It is natural for human beings to seek the company of peers around whom to form their life. The formation of these social groups at the beginning of humanity was spontaneous, not imposed.
Of course, the process should not be simplified; It took many years and depended on different circumstances among which are the geographical location, the level of biological development and intelligence. These aspects indicate that the human being is by antonomasia a social being.
