Project $1$

Throughout Chapter $1$ you looked at Fallacies, propositions, argument analyses, and set relationships.

Use what you have learned in this chapter to analyze advertisements in the media. Select some form of

media advertisement $($for example...newspaper, TV$,$ flyer, social media, business card, etc.$)$ and find an

advertisement. Analyze that advertisement according to the guidelines below.

$1.$ Identify a media advertisement. Paste an image of your advertisement and$/$or the advertisement text

below. Be sure to include a citation documenting where you found the advertisement.

$2.$ Identify at least $2$ types of fallacies present in the advertisement and explain each. $($Note: The types

of fallacies are discussed in section $1$A$).$

$3.$ Analyze your selected media advertisement according to the $5$ steps for evaluating media

information $($page $24$ of the textbook$).$ Write a $1-2$ sentence explanation for each of the $5$ evaluation

steps.

$4.$ Are there any conditional statements in your selected advertisement? $($for example, If you take this

medicine then you will have relief from specific ailment symptoms$).$ If there are conditional statements,

are they logically valid? Why or why not. If there are no conditional statements in your advertisement,

write a conditional statement that aligns with the advertisement. Is your written conditional statement

logically valid? Why or why not?

$5.$ Section $1$E outlines $8$ hints for using critical thinking for analysis. Look through all $8$ hints. Do any of

these hints apply to your selected advertisement? Why$/$how or why not?
