Venn Diagrams for Statements

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Two overlapping circles diagram any categorical statement: shading marks a region empty; an X marks a region occupied.

Show

"No S are P" — shade the overlap. "Some S are P" — X in the overlap.

Watch for

Shading and X are different kinds of claims: emptiness versus existence. Never trade one for the other.
