Step 1. Review a few web resources on fallacies.

There are many websites that provide information on both formal and informal fallacies. For example: Logically Fallacious; the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (entry on "Fallacies"); the Nizkor Project; and the Fallacy Files. Your discussion assignment is to take a look at each of these sites and, if you're interested, find the fallacies that correspond to those that we've studied so far

Step 2. Find an online example of a fallacy contained in a cartoon or video

After you feel comfortable recognizing fallacies of failed or flawed induction, conduct a search online and find one video or cartoon example for one of these fallacies. Your multimedia example must take the form of a video/image/cartoon (check out YT, for instance, or search for the fallacies in cartoon banks). The Cartoon Network, Family Guy, South Park or even just plain old cartoon websites are good places to look.

Step 3.

Once you've located the example, reconstruct the fallacy from the video or cartoon using standard format (P1, P2, etc., /C). . . Be sure to address the following:

Clearly state the fallacy your example represents

Share your reconstructed fallacy. Make sure to present the full argument suggested by the video, image or cartoon by identifying its implicit premise(s) and conclusion

. Explain why you think this is a good example of the fallacy.
