Question:
What to do Although we always want to avoid logical fallacies in our writing, one of the greatest ways to learn logical fallacies (and how to avoid them) is to practice creating examples of them. That is what I want you to do for this discussion.
This discussion has two parts. Here is what you will do:
- Write an advertisement for a product (any product--a car, a wrench, a jar of marinara sauce, a new phone, a pair of shoes, etc.), using at least 3 logical fallacies to persuade your imaginary audience to buy the product. This portion of your response should be at least 250 words.
In a separate paragraph under your "bad argument" advertisement, write a reflection on each of the 3 fallacies you used in the ad. Be sure to name the fallacies, explain why each of them was a bad/fallacious argument, and explain what you could have done instead to make a "good" argument for the product. Please name and explain one fallacy at a time rather than lumping everything together. This portion of your discussion response should also be at least 250 words.
