DO NOT COPY ANOTHER CHEGG EXPERT / I WILL REPORT IT/ THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Reply to a Posting #1. #2 #3 Give a specific example of the fallacy identified and defined by your classmate.

Posting 1= sophia When looking for a fallacy I stumbled upon the repetition fallacy. Which states that the more you repeat something then the more you believe it. I kinda think of this fallacy as like daily affirmations people have been doing. If you say, "Power isn't given to me, I already have it". If you repeat this kind of self talk to yourself or others you start to believe it. This kind of positivity can change your life just because by speaking these words you are believing it more everytime. Another example is, "I don't chase, I attract." This can also be used in a negative connotation which I think more people will relate to more. Example being, "How many times have I asked you to clean your room, Ive told you once don't make me tell you again." a form of nagging.

Well, searching I found the fallacy I was interested in "Appeal to Authority Fallacy" is a logical fallacy in which someone tries to prove an argument by citing an expert or other authoritative figure, without providing actual evidence to back their claim. For example, if a person were to state that the President has declared that this decision is the best for the country without providing any proof or evidence, they would be using the Appeal to Authority Fallacy. This type of argument relies on the assumption that because someone in a position of power said something, it must be true, even though there is no evidence to support the claim. Additionally, this fallacy can also be used when someone cites an expert opinion or authority in a field that is unrelated to the topic at hand.

While searching for fallacies that werent covered I found one called Begging the Question fallacy. The actual definition I got is The fallacy of begging the question occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. In other words, you assume without proof the stand/position, or a significant part of the stand, that is in question. Begging the question is also called arguing in a circle This definition is from the cite I found and the link is at the bottom. I thought this one to be very interesting and I have seen it quite a few times in real life situations. Where a subject is brought up and it seems like both people on the side of the fallacy dont really know much about or havent done enough research but still think their opinions are the most valid and therefor true. I am definetly guilty of this sometimes in my day to day life, especially at work. But I like to learn things and am a hands-on learning, while doing this I try to make it into a learning experience.
