  1. Warm Up: 3/31 • 1. Describe your Spring Break in 3 words • 2. Explain or create an examples of the fallacies: • A) Make your opponent look ridiculous • B) Oversimplify the issue

  2. Objective and DOL Objective DOL • SWBAT explain and create fallacies for unit 10 • Create one example for each of the following fallacies: • Raise nothing but objections. • Seek your vested interests. • Shift the burden of proof. • Tell big lies

  3. Raise nothing but objections This fallacy happens when an opponent will not let a discussion move forward because he/she raises continually objections. (“No matter what you say or reasons you give, I will not accept your view”) Video: Watch Vice President Joe Biden: When does he interrupt and why? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLOcvUq7e7o

  4. Seek your vested interests • Vested interest- a strong personal concern in a state of affairs, system, etc., usually resulting in private gain • Ex: who may have a vested interest in stopping clean energy? In limiting gun control? • When a person cannot or will not consider another point of view because doing so would mean a loss of his/her own vested interest. The following video gives an example of having a vested interest. What would the mediator have to do in order to perform this fallacy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWUyGVPBhco Does fox news have a hidden vested interest? Would they admit this?

  5. Shift the Burden of Proof • Making someone prove what they assert, or giving them the responsibility to prove a claim. (This is why criminal courts have to prove guilt, not innocence (accuser must prove it); it’s hard to prove the absence of anything including a crime) • Ex: since you cannot prove God does not exist, he does. • Until you can prove that leprechauns don’t exist, it is clear they do.

  6. Tell Big Lies • Focusing on WHAT YOU CAN GET PEOPLE TO BELIEVE, not on what is true or false. If you insist on something long enough, you are more likely to get people to believe you • They know the human mind does not naturally seek the truth; it seeks comfort, security, personal confirmation

  7. Popeye…. How do we get strong muscles?

  8. DOL • To show your understanding, create an original example or scenario depicting each of the fallacies we covered today

  9. Review • Printing Press • Steam Engine • Reason technology is productive/destructive • Ethical issues behind stem cell research • Ethical issues behind plastic surgery • Steps to analyzing a political cartoon • Unit 10 fallacies • Immigration/emigration • Push pull factors • Intellectual standards • Cycle of poverty • Economic inequality
