HOMEWORK:
Student
Example and Inferences:
Big Question: Explain what is bias?
True or False Statements: True or False?
Think with your head,
not your gut.
We are never
deceived. We deceive ourselves.
What
is a fallacy?
A Fallacy: is when a person wants to deceive
or misled another person with false or unproven reasons; presents the reason is true even
though it is not; uses emotional reasons to convince
people that the lie is true
Example: All the swans we have seen at the pond are white or all swans are
white.
Inference:
(Conclusion or Reading between the
Lines): The inference is that all swans are white, but factually, there are white,
black, and black and white.
Several of the following fallacies
overlap.
Common Fallacies
Appeal to Authority:
something must be true
because it is believed by someone who said to be an "authority" on
the subject. Whether the person is an authority or not.
1. A commercial claims that a brand of cereal is the best way to
start the day because athlete Michael Jordan says that it is what he eats every
day for breakfast.
Inference: To be a great athlete like Jordan, people should eat this cereal every
day.
2. A person argues that climate
change is not actually happening because the president says it isn’t happening.
Inference: We should trust the president who is not a scientist
over the scientists who say it is happening.
Student Example and
Inferences:
Appeal to
Emotions: plays on people’s emotions to get them to believe it to be
true without facts or evidence.
1. A car commercial that says, "You work hard-reward yourself."
Inference: So, give us your money
by buying our car.
2. A commercial that shows the destruction of a hurricane then tells
people to buy disaster insurance.
Inference: Everybody will have something terrible happen to them and only buying
insurance will save people from disaster.
Student Example and
Inferences:
False Dilemma it is an
"either-or" type of argument one is true-or one is acceptable and the
other is not. Two choices are presented, when more exist,
1. You are for us, or you are against us.
Inference:
There is no third options of compromise.
2. Either you buy me this new book, or you decide that reading is
not important at all.
Inference:
give me what I want, or you are bad
Student Example and
Inferences:

in which immediate gratification is pitted against long-term harm.
1. Harry has been
smoking cigarettes for over fifty years and he feel healthy.
