A Fallacy Of Ignorance

As the host of the political radio show, The Ignorance Equation, I see political trends and ideologies come and go on a regular basis. Over the past five years I have watched Republicans go from an angry bloodthirsty mob of extremist to a frustrated and confused group of voters who don't understand why rampant obstructionism hasn't fixed our political system.

What makes an argument ineffective is when using emotional appeals to distract a reader from a lack of evidence. Also the use of faulty reasoning, and inaccurate facts.

A Red Herring is where an individual in the argument states something that skewers the argument because of an outside clause.

.The way to show ignorance to think you fully know a person on what he or she is going to do. Just like Paris he thinks he knows Mr.Putnam well saying he wouldn’t do anything harm him. Which is ignorant of him thinking he knows a person based on because he thinks he's right.Thinking that Mr.Punam is not going to leap on to witchcraft Paris thinks he right. Cause he say that he's the least person do anything bad to him. Cause he’s more concerned about not getting kick out since he know one family member is corrupting his name So he tries to beg since he’s a about and if weren’t a family member corrupt he wouldn't be in a mess.

An eyewitness can change the course of an investigation. However, how reliable that can be? People believe that we remember an event as exactly as it was, such as replaying the facts. Elizabeth Loftus is one of the leading researchers in the area of memory, and she found that memories are not accurately re-created. Reconstructing facts from our lives cannot be harmful, but it can be critical when deciding a criminal event. Loftus studies demonstrated that a simple wording question might change the eyewitness answer.

Fallacy is an argument that can be considered bad and may not make any logical sense. Often, arguments that are considered fallacies either don’t provide any evidence or the evidence is unrelated. People use fallacies often enough that they have been given specific names, so they can be easily referenced or identified.

There has been a vast increase in racial crimes and movements within the past decade; with community marches and rallies being held after the deaths of unarmed African-Americans occurring within their place of refuge. This exhibition of African-American versus European American is nothing new to be seen, since it holds such a presence in American history, and it continues out of greed, injustice, and ignorance. Racism, as a belief system, and the acts committed as a result are merely distractions that guide our own selfishness and immorality.

No one can know what the most blameworthy ignorance is. It is not an absolute truth that it's the most blameworthy ignorance; therefore, it is not a sound argument.

Begging the question is a type of logical fallacy that “avoids the argumentative process” (McInerny 109). An example of a begging the question fallacy is when my friend argued for his point that Panera Bread is the healthiest fast food alternative restaurant. My friend, Tim, stated that “Salads and fruit smoothies are the healthiest types of food. Since, Panera Bread serves several types of salads and fruit smoothies this makes Panera Bread the healthiest fast food alternative.” Tim’s statement exemplifies begging the question fallacy because the conclusion, “Panera Bread is the healthiest fast food alternative”, does not have logical premise and reasoning behind the argument. Tim did not provide any factual information proving the fact that salads and fruit smoothies are the healthiest food option. Also, Tim did not compare the actual calories in the food at Panera compared to a typical fast food restaurant, such as McDonalds. In summation, Tim completely ignored the reasoning that backed up his conclusion, which was Panera is the healthiest fast food alternative, thus making the conclusion a begging the question fallacy.

Opinions expressed but not fully developed as an argument. Examples and evidence not specifically linked to overall argument or may be misunderstood.

Everyone wakes up and decides which mask to put on for the day. Each day a routine covered by the wool over their eyes to see nothing more than grey. Eventually this wool blends into sight and darkens until this becomes all they know. Eventually these masks become their faces, deceiving even themselves about who they truly are. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s book, “The Scarlet Letter,” the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony see this way as the church controls their actions by manipulating their faiths.

Begging the Question: This is a form of your opinion, and you do not have the facts to back the statements up.

This paper tries to determine the appeal to ignorance as used in mass media. It provides examples that clearly show the depiction of appeal to ignorance used in mass media. Through various research articles and books, it inspects fallacies at depth with real world examples from the media. Mainstream media is not only a source of passing information but it has become the top choice tool for advertising companies to market their products regardless of the correct form of argument, as far as the their market revenue increases. As a result, review of T-Mobile advertisement is used in analysis and delineation of appeal to ignorance fallacy.

Violence plagues humanity; a reoccurring rash prevalent throughout the world and its history. In the image I have selected, a man wearing militia armor and a ski mask is seen playing a brightly painted grand piano, whilst sedentary upon an ornate throne. Smoking a cigarette and focusing on his hand placement, the audience could say the man is aloof to his surroundings. In the background of the image, a tactical police line is seen in the midst of a debris filled street. Murky greyness and depressing color tone capture the atmosphere of fear. Fear further personified by other protesters standing near the masked artist. This is Kiev, the capital of Ukraine; a peaceful city turned violent by government distrust. The image

There are also many diverse kinds of fallacies. Some include, appeal to the popular, meaning to urge the listener to accept a position because a majority of people do it or believe in it. For example, the majority of people like soda. Therefore, soda is good. Or everyone else is doing it, so why can 't I? Another common fallacy is poisoning the well, this occurs when negative information is presented about a person before he/she speaks. In order to redirect the person 's point of view of that person. an example is, Frank is disagreeable, arrogant, and thinks he knows everything. So, let 's hear what Frank has to say about the subject. There are many more kinds of fallacies.
