Blog #5: Logical Fallacies

Due: Thursday, December 20
Minimum Words: 400
Links Required: Your Group's Fallacy Video and perhaps your presentation
Find videos here & here.

For this post please embed your group's fallacy video and strongly consider embedding your Fallacy presentation. This is a great chance to turn your blog into a portfolio.

After you include your work, come to some conclusions about how Logical Fallacies relate to problem solving, debates, or influence. If you need help coming to a conclusion or getting started with your writing, please consider the following questions:

  • What has studying logical fallacies taught you about reasoning, debating, and argument.
  • Where have you encountered logical fallacies in your life? 
  • What fallacies do you find yourself using?
  • How can understanding fallacies make you a more prepared thinker or debater?
  • Why do you think logical fallacies are used?
  • How can understanding fallacies help with problem solving?
  • How can people best use debates and discussions to promote problem solving instead of creating deeper divisions? How can understanding logical fallacies relate to this?
  • Why are debates and discussions so difficult sometimes?
  • When have you seen fallacies used correctly?
