Document Summary
Poor ways to reason, does not contain logical strength on an argument. No need to know the grouping of the fallacies in the textbook. When you present something as fact but do not give evidence for the truth of the conclusion. When providing that justification, it has to be something that someone else accepts as well. When we rely on the strong feelings of many other people consider to be true. It"s not sufficient to make us believe that reason is true, no outside justification. When we offer no evidence in support of a conclusion but rely on emotional rhetoric. It employs emotion to trick the audience into endorsing something that they haven"t been given a reason to endorse. When rather than giving people justification for your conclusion, you give threat into forcing someone into agreeing with your opinion. Ex: if you believe such a claim, i can no longer be your friend.
