Week 2 Discussion Board: Appeals to authority In the process of discovering truth, it is often essential to rely on others. Experts have already done research from which we can profitably learn. However, not all sources are equally reliable, of course. It is therefore important to discuss how best to use and evaluate appeals to authority. For this discussion, we will discuss and evaluate examples of this important argument form. In your initial post: . Give three examples of appeals to authority (preferably from real sources, but some can be ones you make up or have experienced). One should be very strong, one very weak, and one in the middle. . Evaluate the quality of each. . Provide an example of a time in which you or someone you know was fooled by trusting a source that turned out to be unreliable. . Provide another paragraph or two in which you discuss appeals to authority in general, by addressing some of these types of questions: How do we know which sources are reliable and trustworthy? Do you find that there are some types of sources of which people are too trusting? How can we overcome this tendency? How can we learn to display the proper amount of skepticism and trust in relation to sources? How can we make sure we use the best sources (and are not be misled by deceptive ones)
