Create examples of logical fallaciesÂ
Ad populum: All of my friends smoke cigarettes, so why shouldn’t I?
Ad vericundiam: If its tradition for the seniors egg the principals house, I guess we have to because we are seniors now!
Begging the question: Well if we are all shopping at Whole Foods we must all only eat organic foods!
Confusing cause and effect: Skinny people run on the treadmill so therefore running on the treadmill will make you skinny.
Either/or: We either have to cut the budget or fire someone.
Non sequitur: The Smith’s live in such a small house, they obviously cannot afford a trip to the Bahamas.
Post Hoc: Every time my dog wears her Falcons jersey, they win. If she does not wear it they will lose!!
Red herring: It does not matter that I am a sexist pig, because your husband had many affairs!
Slippery slope: If you let him in your house after your first date, its obvious he is going to make a move.
nice practice
