Chapter 13, Pages 329 & 330

Informal fallacies are when the reasoning in an argument doesn't necessarily lead to a sound conclusion. Sometimes fallacies are unintentional and just happen, other times they are intentionally used to deceive the audience. A fallacy is basically anything that could potentially be an invalid argument. The text states a list of fallacies.

    Hi Hannah,

    Thanks for making sure you did the reading and the response - that's great! Please just remember the requirements for these responses, which are outlines in the syllabus. This response, for example, is not quite up to snuff (though I'll still give it full credit this time). I recommend you double-check the requirements and make sure you know what they are. It is clear, though, from this, that you did do the reading and that you understood it, which are the most important things.

    Thanks,
    Rebecca
