Logical Fallacies • Choose one of the ads and complete a chart. On the back of the chart, identify if the evidence is based on logos, ethos, and pathos. Decide of there is a logical fallacy involved. • FALLACY - something that is believed to be true but is erroneous • Post hoc – erroneous cause/effect relationships • Non sequitur – drawing a conclusion with no logical connection to the evidence cited • Ad hominem – attacking a person instead of the issue/pt of view • Appeals to questionable or faulty authority – weakens ETHOS • Begging the question – failure to establish proof for controversy • False analogy – disregards significant dissimilarities & implies that since two things have one thing in common they are alike in all respects • Either/or – only two outcomes possible • Red herring – intentional digression from the issue
