...Categorizing Fallacies Assignment CRT/205 Due: 7/10/11 1. Example: TV commercial –“This is your brain. These are drugs. This is your brain on drugs.” During this commercial it shows pictures of the difference between your brain on drugs and not on drugs. Type of Fallacy: Scare Tactics Explanation: This is a scare tactic because it tries to frighten kids or even adults to not do drugs. The commercial uses eggs to show the negative effects drugs can have on the brain. Some may not believe it, but others will. I know growing up when I seen this commercial it made me really think how badly drugs really do affect your brain. Luck for me the scare tactic worked and I stayed away from drugs. I will definitely use this on my children in the future. 2. Example: “David I thought I told you to clean up your toys.” “I was going to, but I had to beat a gym leader in my Pokémon game. Look at the new Pokémon I caught!” Type of Fallacy: Red Herring/Smokescreen Explanation: My son uses this fallacy with me at least once a day. If he gets in trouble for something or does not do something I ask him to he either lies, or he changes the subject. I feel that this tactic is very popular with parents and their children. 3. Example: Since I am young and in good health and if I continue a healthy lifestyle for myself I won’t suffer health problems from smoking. Type of Fallacy: Wishful Thinking Explanation: I am only 24 years old and have not had any health problems because I smoke...

...Final Project Marijuana Use Is Harmful Mariah Di Toto 4/20/2014 CRT 205 Source #1 Title and Citation: Marijuana Use is Harmful This article is convincing readers that marijuana use is harmful for your memory, coordination and respiratory functions. It is also found to raise the risks of heart attacks, cancer and addiction. The only areas that seem to be vague is where this article starts talking about the effects of marijuana, and not explaining how much it takes before it effects you in those ways. Also how long a person has to be a marijuana user in order for these long term effects to actually start to arise. They seem to not know exactly what the long-term effects on the brain are, but says it effects your memory. Their finding seems to be inconsistent, so their argument for saying it is actually bad for your memory can’t actually be proven 100%. I do find this source to be credible based off of the information that is given. This article is broken up into sections that talk about the main effects of marijuana usage. It lists statistics throughout the article and studies that have been conducted. However, I do believe they are only taking one side where marijuana can be useful in a lot of cases not mentioned here. It isn’t all negatives when it comes to marijuana usage. I do not believe that any rhetorical devices were used by this author. The author stuck to simple details and studies, and did not go on exaggerating or relating...

...The Importance of Deductive Reasoning ********-***** CRT/205 March 9th, 2014 DEQUILAH BRANDON The Importance of Deductive Reasoning Whenever making a decision, it is always to understand as much background information as possible. In the arguments presented there is more information needed to base a decision on. In the first argument, one could say the trainer gets paid more than enough for his job as a trainer, and his cleaning the bathroom and gym to get extra compensation could be completely unwarranted. Also the amount of cleaning he is doing. If he only has to do small things and not much extra because of the size of the gym or frequency of use it might be possible all this “cleaning” could be very little extra. In the second argument the decision to buy a new car hinges on a few factors. Whether leasing or buying are the options, there are more options. They could buy a used car for a bigger discount if price is an issue. Sally wants safety for their children and Mark wishes for the car of his dreams, but there are more choices than just those two types of vehicles. Argument 3 misses one key factor when buying versus renting a home and that is location. This drives the prices either way up or reduces them. There are also other options for living than buying a house or renting an apartment. Argument 4 covers much of the important information needed in making the decision in which schooling is right for their children, however they do leave out one way of schooling...
