Here is my argument against substance dualism. (1) If substance dualism is true, people cannot causally influence bodies. (2) People can causally influence bodies. Therefore (3) Substance dualism is false. (1), (2) and (3) constitute a valid argument. An argument is valid means that if all of its premises are true, then the conclusion must be…
hominem by generalizing and attacking a group of people. He suggests that all liberals do not have standards. He uses a false analogy and emotional fallacies to support his claims. Anderson’s article has little evidence to support its claims and attempts to use an ethos appeal by arguing the United States’ religious freedoms are under attack by liberals and companies.

We often see this particular term in plenty of articles online, especially in national news.

Our society does not only take one step forward, but also takes two steps back. As time moves on, education in society improves. Humanity became capable of building rockets that can fly pass the sky and touch the moon, but people are still unable to learn from the past errors of society.
