Fallacy

project was to learn the logical fallacies and create a political ad using them. We started out using a storyboard to get our scenes in order. This was so we would plan out are ad and not just rush into it head strong. For each scene we had three boxes the first one was what your viewer would see like what you were wearing, background, and camera angle. The second box was what they would hear like music or what you would be saying. The third would be what logical fallacy was shown in that scene. All

3) Playing the Player or Appeal to Authority Saying that because an authority thinks something, it must therefore be true. Example: Using footballers, singers to advertise commercials that are not related to their specific area 4) Gambler’s Fallacy

The appeal to spite fallacy is a fallacy where spite is used as evidence when an argument is made against a claim (Labossiere, 2012). This is a fallacy because the actual feelings and emotions for spite do not serve as sufficient evidence for a claim (Labossiere, 2012). The appeal to spite takes on the following form: a claim is presented with the intent of generating spite, therefore that claim is or is not false (Labossiere, 2012). This is commonly seen in politics, and many examples of it can

1. A fallacy is an argument with some sort of mistaken proponent that makes the argument unsound. One such fallacy is the genetic fallacy. A genetic fallacy is when a claim is declared false or invalid not due to the integrity of the argument but from the source, such as a group or business. An example of a genetic fallacy would be if Dasani put out a claim that their water was the purest and that claim was discredited not because of their claim being false, but that it came from Dasani themselves

There are many Fallacies of Relevance, the most common one being the Non Sequitur. The Non Sequitur is a conclusion/claim that has its sole focus on one idea or position being held, with the evidence having hardly any relation to support that claim/conclusion. The Ad Hominem Fallacy is a response argument whose purpose is to avoid responsibility for something. It usually represents itself in the form of attacking someone based on an aspect such as appearance, ethnicity, behavior… etc. The examples

Fallacies occur within our lives by strangers, friends, family and even our coworkers. Fallacies will always be around. They will surround us throughout our entire lives. You cannot escape them; however you can educate yourself on how to acknowledge them and learn to be aware of them. Throughout Chapter 13 in our textbooks we are given incredible knowledge on how to detect fallacies, how to understand them and how to deal with them. I have a coworker that never takes responsibility for his actions

Fallacies in Media One rich source of fallacies is the media: television, radio, magazines, and the Internet. The arguments you experience in your daily life (work, family, shopping) are another source of fallacies. Identify three distinct informal logical fallacies you have experienced in the media or in your life. Explain how the fallacies were used and the context in which they occurred. Then, explain what the person presenting the fallacy should have done to ensure that he or she was not committing

The use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or “wrong moves” in the construction of an argument are a fallacy. In a fallacious argument there might a deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is (Google). The two politicians debates, I decided to analyze were democrat Pat Quinn and republican Bruce Rauner. In these debates, I will be focusing on the fallacies that are used with what each politician is arguing. In political debates, each opponent will always use prepped material to

Critical Thinking, by Louis Vaughn, a fallacy is defined as, “An argument form that is both common and defective; a recurring mistake in reasoning (Vaughn, 561). Fallacies can be found in many places whether it is in the media, the workplace, or around your peers. Some fallacies contain the truth while others at a time can be false or misleading. It is essential to be able to identify fallacies because they can be used in many ways, some good some bad. Fallacies are used every day, whether it is to

it… but your ideas may be ruined by what is called a “logical fallacy.” What exactly is a logical fallacy…? Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the logic of your argument (Weber). There are a vast number of different types of fallacies, including Begging the claim, Sweeping Generalizations, slippery slope, hasty generalization, Ad hominem, red herring, and circular argument. Many of these types of logical fallacies can be witnessed throughout the media, whether it be in a presidential
