Please use the class references for this assignment. In previous assignments, I have gotten bad grades and need my writer to follow the instructions. This is not a paper but a discussion post for class.
There is a pop quiz that needs to be answered in this discussion. Pictures for the quiz are in the files.
I would like you to match our Argument forms to the word clouds that most accurately describe them. Be careful one-word cloud does not match any Argument type. Have fun!
Which Cloud: Deductive Argument?
Which Cloud: Inductive Argument?
Which Cloud Neither Type of Argument?

What Is a Fallacy?
Once you learn the names of the major logical fallacies, you will probably start noticing them all over the place, including in advertisements, movies, TV shows, and everyday conversations. This can be both fascinating and frustrating, but it can certainly help you to avoid certain pitfalls in reasoning that are unfortunately very common. This exercise gives you a chance to practice identifying fallacies as they occur in daily life.
Prepare: To prepare to address this prompt, carefully read through Chapters 7 & 8 of our book, paying special attention to learning the names of common fallacies, biases, and rhetorical tricks. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week.
Reflect: Search through common media sources looking for examples of fallacies. Some common places to find fallacies include advertisements, opinion pieces in news media, and arguments about politics, religion, and other controversial issues. You may also notice fallacies in your daily life.
Write: Present three distinct informal logical fallacies you have discovered in these types of sources or in your life. Make sure to identify the specific fallacy committed by each example. Explain how the fallacies were used and the context in which they occurred. Then, explain how the person should have presented the argument to have avoided committing this logical error.
