W2, Discussion 2: Logical Fallacies Example

Instructions

Initial Post Share a total of six different examples of logical fallacies, three from the fallacy exercises and three from your own observations. Make sure that each is an example of a different fallacy (not two or more examples of the same fallacy). Name the fallacy, provide the example, explain your reasoning. 

• 3 of your examples must be from the logical fallacy exercises you completed
• 3 of your examples must be from your own observations
  • pay attention to your everyday exchanges with those around you 
  • pay attention to the ads, posts, tweets, news sources, and the media you expose yourself to, mainstream or otherwise 
  • Note: There are plenty of websites that provide prepared examples of fallacies; I ask you to not use these sources for your initial post (but you can use them in your replies to your peers' posts (see instructions below)
