Based on your personal experience, respond to the following:

  • Describe an experience when you encountered a fallacious argument. Then, identify the fallacy.

The following prompts will help you:

  • Can you think of a situation when you encountered one of the fallacious arguments we discussed? Have you rejected advice based on “do as I say, not as I do,” and if so, what was the outcome?
  • Have you made a decision based on an argument in which someone used scare tactics? Was it a good decision?
  • Maybe you heard an argument where someone’s views were discounted because of motive or personal attack.
