Logical Fallacy: A Weak Argument

Decent Essays
A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. During weak arguments logical fallacy is used to make an argument appear to be stronger than it actually is. There are several different kinds fallacies but I will be focusing on three. Straw man, false cause, and appealing to emotion are the three that I have chosen. The first fallacy is known as Straw man. Straw man is defined as misrepresenting a persons argument to make it much easier to attack or retaliate against it. An example of this would be the following statement, Laura says that she wants to open a dog shelter to help dogs. Ben retaliates and says that he can not believe that Laura hates cats so much that she is willing to open a shelter only for dogs. The second fallacy is

    Section One, Intro/Offense: Jay Heinrichs points out how rhetoric is an incredibly useful skill that dates all the way back to being started by the ancient Greeks and perfected by the Romans.

Heinrichs would like to show to people just how important rhetoric truly is. Rhetorical arguments are all around us, as the author notices the company that makes his wrist watch uses a form of marketing called “argument from strength”, simply meaning if something works in the rough it will work in the smooth. Heinrichs leads into a vey important part of a rhetorical argument, persuasion.…

    I used google search engine to research for logical gallacies, and I picked Purdue OWL's exmaples. Circular argument restates the argument rather than proving it. Example provided in the Purdue OWL is George Bush is a good communicator because he speaks effectively. " He speaks effectively" did not explain why Bush is a "good communicator". Ad populum is an emotional appeal that talks about concepts rather than the real issue.…

    Summer Reading Assignment: Thank You for Arguing The introduction of Thank You for Arguing covers a brief history of rhetoric, introducing its beginnings in ancient Greece and its impact on Roman orators. Jay Heinrichs details the effect of rhetoric on America’s founders, the principles used in the making of the Bible and the Constitution, and how it inspired Shakespeare and Cicero, as well as how rhetoric has faded since the 1800s.

    Ad populum and Ad hominem are two type of fallacies that is best avoided in an argument because they offer no real contribution toward the topic of discussion and at the same time, they can bring down the quality of the argument Ad populum is the assumption that if the majority of people believe in a certain proposition, then that proposition must be true. People has always been vulnerable to the group mentality but nowadays, the usage of ad populum is even more prevalent due to the internet and social media.

    One of the logical fallacies that I found is Post hoc ergo propter hoc, which means the author assumes that one event causes the other. For example “Times of carnival temporally marginalize the monstrous, but at the same time allow it a safe realm of expression and play: on Halloween everyone is a demon for a night” (Cohen, 191). The author is assuming that in Halloween most people dress up as the monster they desire to be, which led all the expression to come up and also the real actions that a human have by dressing up as a monster. Another logical fallacy found in Cohen article is Begging the Claim, in which the author uses enough evidence to support his claim.…

    Before a person takes part in an argument, he/she should have concrete evidence, statistics or logical reasoning to support his/her statements. This ensures that the person is providing the correct logical information. Otherwise, delivering an argument that contains an error in reasoning, which leads to a false conclusion, is known as a "logical fallacy" (Floridi 318). Such errors are not only unprofessional but also misleading and unethical. For example, Donald Trump used the Ad Hominem fallacy when he made negative remarks on Megyn Kelly, named Hillary Clinton as "Crooked Hillary" and a "nasty woman", called Marco Rubio as “Little Marco", made fun of Carly Fiorina's face and called Bill Kristol a 'loser'.…

    Argument #1 is a weak argument because the 25 percent is not a highly probable outcome. Given the statistical data presented in this argument, 25 percent is such a low percentage, which is weak for this argument. It stands to reason that many Bob, who is a drug user, probably will not die from heavy drug use. Also, with such a low percentage given in this argument, more evidence is needed to support the conclusion of the premises.…
