Item 1: Structural
Fallacies
Analysis:
If you who are blondes use the Lustre – Crème Shampoo, you
will be attractive blondes like Marilyn Monroe. Gentlemen prefer blondes
If A, then B
The blondes don’t use the Lustre – Crème Shampoo
Not A
You won’t attract gentlemen
Therefore not B
If you who are the blondes use the Lustre – Crème shapoo ,
you will be attractive. This impresses gentlemen
If you don’t use the Lustre – Crème Shapoo, you won’t
attract
However, you – the blondes can be attractive by many other
ways, not only like this
Moreover, this is hasty generalization fallacy when this
advertisement says “ gentlemen prefer blondes” because we don’t see the reason
for this conclusion
Item 2: False dilemma
Analysis : In the picture, you only choose one button. When choose
the red button, you will receive 1 billion immediately . Choosing the green button, you will receive
50percent of 1 billion. However , you can choose other ways which you quit the
above game by not choosing two buttons. Therefore it is false dilemma.
Item 3: Necessary and sufficient condition
Radiation causes cancer,
Kevin has cancer, therefore he was exposed to radiation.
Analysis:
Radiation causes cancer
(a sufficient condition to cause cancer)
Kevin has cancer (caused
by many other reasons not only by exposing to radiation)
Therefore, it is not
enough evidences to conclude that he was exposed to radiation
In item 2, I do not think you are right. Although this picture gives a choice between one or another, it is not false dilemma fallacy because you can not make another choice. In other words, it does not commit fallacy.
Trả lờiXóaI have the same opinion as Bay that item 2 is not dilemma fallacy because it is a game and have only two choices. you can not have any choices.
Trả lờiXóaI agree with Bay. Item 2 is not false dilemma fallacy because a false dilemma is a type of informal fallacy that involves a situation in which only two alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option. In your picture,you have only 2 choices.
Trả lờiXóaIn item 1, you write "gentlement prefer blondes". What is your evidence? I agree with you that Maryline Monroe is so attractive that a great number of men pursue after her but this doesn't mean that "gentlement prefer blondes".
Trả lờiXóaIt has some letters "gentlement prefer blondes" in the picture but it's too small :((
XóaI đin't say that."gentlemen prefer blondes" is a sentence in the poster..............^^
Xóait í the reason why this advantagement have mistakes of fallacy
XóaI have some comments on your entry:
Trả lờiXóaItem 1:
-First, you should make your photo bigger because I can’t see some letters clearly.
-Second, in terms of content:
+Your analysis is not clear. You also should pay attention to your writing
(You say”… you will be attractive blondes like Marilyn Monroe. Gentlemen prefer blondes”. I suggest:
“…you will have attractive blondes to attract men.”)
+”The blondes don’t use the Lustre – Crème Shampoo”-> There is no evidence to prove that blondes don’t use Lustre. It’s your own idea. I think it’s should be “women don’t use The Lustre ”
Item 2:
I think you are mistaken about false dilemma. It means that you will have more than 2 choices offered. This picture shows that you have 2 choices only.
Item 3:
In my opinion, it is Hasty generalization instead of Necessary and sufficient condition. Your analysis is right but it should be more clearly by using structure argument. I suggest:
Radiation causes cancer
Kevin has cancer
-----------------------------
->He was exposed to radiation.
In fact, he can be cancer because of many other reasons
In the first item, i think there is a content fallacy in the argument that "If you are blonde and use the Lustre – Crème Shampoo, you will be attractive like Marilyn Monroe. Gentlemen prefer blondes" but it should be irrelevant appeal (appeal to popularity. Because maybe at that period, people (especial men) like blonde hair girls.
Trả lờiXóaIn item 3, I think the fallacy is structual fallacy.
Trả lờiXóaRadiation causes cancer ( Radiation is the cause of cancer - All S are P)
Kevin has cancer (Kevin is a cancer patient - a is P)
-----------------------------
->He was exposed to radiation. ( Therefore, a is S)
I think the 3rd item shoulD be structural fallacies because we can analyze like that:
Trả lờiXóaRadiation causes cancer
(All people who exposed to radiation have cancer)
All S are P
Kevin has cancer
(a is P)
------------------
Therefore, he is exposed to radiation
Therefore, a is S
I think there can be have more than one fallacy in a statement, story...therefore in my third item have both structural fallacies and Necessary and sufficient condition...maybe it is necessary and sufficient...^^
XóaHere come some comments I would like to share:
Trả lờiXóa- In general, your post have problem in adjusting font >"< that's confusing and causes a lot of trouble for us to see clearly and to have right understanding
- In particular:
+item 1: It seems that your analysis is not good, cause I dont really understand what you want to express. Maybe it due to your adding your own idea, because you have mistake in distinguish blondes and women in this situation
+ item 2: In my opinion, this situation should not be called false dilemma because it clearly can be seen that there are more than 2 choices for your to choose.

Trả lờiXóaI have some comments below:
Trả lờiXóa- Item 2:
I think it is fallacy of ambiguity. Number 50% don't say anything. Morever, in fact you will have more than 2 choices offered.
- In the item 3, u should display more clearly
this is is structual fallacy:
all S are P
a is P
______________
Therefore, a is S
and the correct structure is:
all S are P
a is S
______________
Therefore, a is P
