Jus ad bellum

unconvinced that the nation should be heavily involved in the war. They were appalled at the destruction which the war entailed and Buddhists set themselves on fire to demonstrate their hostility toward the war. The New York Times even ran an anti-war ad signed by 6,400 academics. As these demonstrations grew stronger the President became more determined that he would not be deflected from his goal of victory, supporting the idea of omitting reason for involvement. Cawthrone explains that…

According to Aquinas, there are three criteria for a war to be just. The first criteria is that the ruler or authority of a nation must make the decision to go to war. This is because the ruler was chosen to make decisions that will benefit the whole nation and not just themselves. No private individual has the authority to declare war because they do not have the correct intentions. The second criteria for just war is that there must be a just cause for the war to be fought. This means that the…

In the Just War Theory, there is a list of reasons when and why it is okay to go to war, and kill in war. I believe that it is okay to kill in war due to the fighting for your own survival, fighting for the protection of others and what is stated in the Bible. When in your home country, you are forced to see you people living in harmony and peace, or see them perish due to the fact that you cannot protect them. George Orwell has stated that, "Those who “abjure” violence can only do so because…

only time I really used ethos was when I called upon another trustworthy person with a lot of their own ethos. For pathos I put in several lines that play upon the reader’s sympathy and make them question SeaWorld’s morality, this may appear to be an Ad Hominem logical fallacy, however, I never directly attacked SeaWorld with my supporting points, I only questioned their actions. Finally, for logos I put in a multitude of facts and even put some calculations as a logical appeal. If your writing…

Bene Viera’s “An Open Letter to Tyler Perry” was a response to Tyler Perry’s different works as an artist but his personal response, his latest letter to his fans “Kim Kardashian in Marriage Counselor” Her evidently strong beliefs that Tyler Perry only portrays the women in his films in certain ways is the divine influence beneath her motives in writing this letter, which allow her to present her refutes. In this letter, Viera commits numerous divergent fallacies in which they ineffectively…

Premise one In the first premise Colin Harper from Advance Australia has tried to ‘appeal to novelty’. They claimed that the wearing of the Burqa is a medieval practice and Australia is a modern country, therefore it should not be allowed. This is fallacious as the age of the practice has no implication of its properness in the Modern Australia. Also Harper claims that the Burqa “represents the repression domination of women”. Harper mentions that equality is one of Australia’s core values and…

each candidate from a form of media. Too bad the media might not be giving Americans all the necessary information they need to know. The media makes Americans believe what they are saying, when really they only are giving biased information, using ad Hominem attacks against the opposing party, and filtering out information that supports the opposing party.…

fallacies are basically common errors. Everyone single person every day makes a common error. The logical fallacies that I will be discussing are the sunk cost fallacy, slippery slope fallacy, hasty generalization fallacy, post hoc ergo propter hoc, ad hominem, red herring, and the straw man fallacy. It happens to everyone of us, even though we may not even realize it sometimes. Sunk cost fallacy is getting into something and not wanting to get out of it because you may have put a lot of time…

everyday life from talking with one 's mom to speaking with their boss, the trouble is identifying these fallacy 's and being aware that they do exist and can affect oneself and the person they are speaking to. Being able to know the difference between an ad hominem and straw man could be the difference between winning one 's argument.
