Week
6 Discussion
Logical
Fallacies
In
this blog entry, you will identify and discuss logical fallacies.
Chapter
16 details ten common logical fallacies: red herring, bandwagon, slippery
slope, false dichotomy, faulty analogy, ad hominem, false authority,
questionable causality, hasty generalization, and exaggerated danger. Your
research may identify others.
Start
your blog by explaining, in your own words, what logical fallacies are and why
they should be avoided in persuasive writing. For example, how might logical
fallacies affect a writer's appeal to ethos and logos? How is a fallacious
argument different from a bad argument?
Then,
find and identify at least three fallacies in one (or more) persuasive piece.
Good places to locate logical fallacies are in advertisements, political
speeches, letters to the editor, cartoons, and articles in magazines or
newspapers. Name the fallacy type and explain why the example is a fallacy
(i.e. What is the flaw in the reasoning?).
Lastly,
discuss what you learned from completing this blog activity.
Once
you have posted your blog, return to read and respond to at least two of
your classmates' blog posts.
