　　A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS BETWEEN THE BLACKS AND THE POLICE BECAUSE THE

　　POLICE ARE THE ARMED GUARDIANS OF THE SOCIALSGROUPSAND THE BLACKS ARE THE CH

　　IEF DOMESTIC VICTIMS OF THE AMERICAN SOCIAL ORDER.

　　THE CONCLUSION CAN ALSO BE FORCEDSINTOSTHE MIDDLE:

　　THE POLICE ARE THE ARMED GUARDIANS OF THE SOCIAL ORDER. SO A CONFLICT OF INT

　　EREST EXISTS BETWEEN THE BLACKS AND THE POLICE BECAUSE THE BLACKS ARE THE CH

　　IEF DOMESTIC VICTIMS OF THE AMERICAN SOCIAL ORDER.

　　IT IS GENERALLY AWKWARD, AS IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH, TO PLACE THE CONCLUSI

　　ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARGUMENT BECAUSE THEN IT CANNOT BE FULLY ANTICIPATED

　　BY WHAT COMES BEFORE NOR FULLY EXPLAINED BY WHAT COMES AFTER. ON THE RARE O

　　CCASION WHEN A CONCLUSION COMES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT, MOST OFTEN EIT

　　HER THE MATERIAL THAT COMES AFTER IT OR THE MATERIAL THAT COMES BEFORE IT IS

　　NOT ESSENTIAL.

　　IN SUMMARY: TO FIND THE CONCLUSION, CHECK THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE ARGUMENT.

　　IF THAT IS NOT THE CONCLUSION, CHECK THE FIRST SENTENCE. RARELY DOES THE CO

　　NCLUSION COME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT.

　　WHEN DETERMINING THE MEANING OF A CONCLUSION, BE CAREFUL NOT TO READ ANY MOR

　　ESINTOSIT THAN WHAT THE AUTHOR STATES. ALTHOUGH ARGUMENTS ARE NOT WORDED AS

　　PRECISELY AS GAMES, YOU STILL NEED TO READ THEM WITH MORE CARE THAN YOU WOUL

　　D USE IN YOUR EVERYDAY READING.

　　AS WITH GAMES, READ THE WORDS AND SENTENCES OF AN ARGUMENT PRECISELY, AND US

　　E THEIR LITERAL MEANING.

　　FOR EXAMPLE, CONSIDER THE MEANING OF SOME IN THE SENTENCE "SOME OF MARY’S FR

　　IENDS WENT TO THE PARTY." IT WOULD BE UNWARRANTED, BASED ON THIS STATEMENT,

　　TO ASSUME THAT SOME OF MARY’S FRIENDS DID NOT GO TO THE PARTY. ALTHOUGH IT M

　　AY SEEM DECEIVING TO SAY THAT SOME OF MARY’S FRIENDS WENT TO THE PARTY WHEN

　　IN FACT ALL OF THEM DID, IT IS NONETHELESS TECHNICALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE M

　　EANING OF SOME.

　　SOME MEANS "AT LEAST ONE AND PERHAPS ALL."

　　AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THE CONCLUSION USUALLY COMES AT THE END OF AN ARGUMENT,

　　SOMETIMES AT THE BEGINNING, AND RARELY IN THE MIDDLE. WRITERS USE CERTAIN W

　　ORDS TO INDICATE THAT THE CONCLUSION IS ABOUT TO BE STATED. FOLLOWING IS A L

　　IST OF THE MOST COMMON CONCLUSION INDICATORS:

　　CONCLUSION INDICATORS

　　HENCE THEREFORE

　　SO ACCORDINGLY

　　THUS CONSEQUENTLY

　　FOLLOWS THAT SHOWS THAT

　　CONCLUDE THAT IMPLIES

　　AS A RESULT MEANS THAT

　　MOST OFTEN THE CONCLUSION OF AN ARGUMENT IS PUT IN THE FORM OF A STATEMENT.

　　SOMETIMES, HOWEVER, THE CONCLUSION IS GIVEN AS A COMMAND OR OBLIGATION.

　　EXAMPLE:

　　ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, YOU OUGHT TO VOTE.

　　HERE, THE AUTHOR IMPLIES THAT YOU ARE OBLIGED TO VOTE.
