DB: Short Argument Using Only Logical Fallacies (Rough Draft)
First Post:
Copy and post your rough draft of this assignment, Essay: Short Argument Using Only Logical Fallacies, into a post below. Do not submit a digital file. I have listed similar instructions here as a reminder:
Choose any claim for any argument you want. It does not matter how ridiculous or absurd or serious.
Remember: a claim is an opinion; an opinion is a statement that is not a fact; a claim can be agreed with or disagreed with, hence, an argument.
Write a brief argument (200 word minimum) supporting this claim by using only logical fallacies. This can be one paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Introductions or conclusions are not required.
At the end of the post, list the logical fallacies you have used in your argument. You don’t have to tell me where you used them, just provide a list of the ones you think you used at the end of the document.
2 Response Posts:
Read someone else’s short argument and try to find where in the argument they used one of the logical fallacies they listed. You’re required to name the fallacy after you find it. Do this for two different students. For example, in a response post, you can copy a sentence from another student’s short argument and say this is a hasty generalization, etc. That’s as simple as it needs to be. WE ARE NOT HERE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH ARGUMENTS MADE. Do not post any opinions about anyone’s argument.
