Can you help me respond to two fallacies posted by other students, please?
Agree or disagree with the effectiveness of the fallacy. Remember, for good writing we are always to avoid logical fallacies, but, sadly, that doesn't mean that they are not effective!! Also, the reason fallacies do work when they do is because there is always at least a smidge of truth to the statements. Arguing that the person up to run the department of defense doesn't deserve it because he has been married 5 times is an ad hominem attack. But you might site in your post that you appreciate that information because do we want a guy protecting our national security who has such turmoil in his private life?. Another way to post is to find the conventions used to make such a fallacy. In the Hallmark commercial where the kids see the little old lady next door with no visitors and decide to make her day with a hallmark card, this appeal to pity uses the standard convention that if you are old you are lonely and sad. Perhaps she enjoys being alone and has a rich life beyond what the happy nuclear family next store can imagine. Yet, the conventional thinking is she can be happy
