Week 2 Fallacy


 * 1) Ad Hominem - During an argument the defense attacks the person instead of the argument to get the point across. Example - Of course you think it's okay to walk your dog at the beach your a Communist.
 * 2) The straw man - You argue a weak position you make up just to knock it down. Example - Vegans are so selfish they would rather save a chicken then help a homeless person with a hamburger.
 * 3) Appeal to ignorance - taking an idea that isn't knows and saying it must be true or false. Example - These diet pills work amazing as not a single person has gained weight while using them.
 * 4) Circular argument - saying an argument and then repeating it in a different way. Example Everyone drinks Starbucks coffee because Starbucks coffee is on every corner.
 * 5) Bandwagon - something must be true or good because of it's popularity. Example-  Millions of people own Apple phones so they be the best phones.
