ENTRY 4
Argument Structures and Fallacies
ITEM 1:
“If I make
an exception for you then I have to make an exception for everyone”
-
Slippery slope (fallacy of presumption)
-
Analising:
If I make an exception for you
(Hidden premise:
I have to make an exception for another person and many other people else)
=>I have to make an exception for everyone
ITEM 2
-
Appeal
to traditions ( Fallacy of relevance)
-
Analising:
appealing to the tradition that gays are not allowed to marry each other
ITEM 3
-
Post-hoc
fallacy
-
Form:
Having vaccine preceded developing autism
=>the
vaccine caused autism
Item 1: It's not slippery slope. It has only 1 hidden premise: everyone is equal
Trả lờiXóai make exception for a person
everyone is equal
__________________________________
I have to make exception for everyone
The hidden premise of item 1 is that everybody is equal, I think
Trả lờiXóaI strongly agree with Xuan
Trả lờiXóaIn the first item, i think it should have another hidden premise that all other people ask me for an exception like you.
Trả lờiXóaIn the 2nd item, I think that you shouldn't strongly claim that gays are not allowed to marry each other appealing to traditions because it is not shown clearly here. two gays just complain that why they can't get married and be happy without showing the reasons why they can't. And in the newspaper,there is only 1 sentence "everything but marriage" without any reasons, too. So I think it's not enough evidence for you to claim that it is fallacy of relevance (appeal to traditions)
Trả lờiXóaItem 1: I agree with Xuan. Your item is not clear to prove it is slippery slope.
Trả lờiXóaItem 3: You should write argument fallacy:
My son had his vaccine and he developed autism.
The action that he had vaccine preceded his autism.
The preceding action is the cause of the following one.
->Having vaccine makes hem autism
Item 1: the hidden premise should be "everyone is equal" thus it can be conclude slippery slope.
Trả lờiXóaitem 2: i think this picture is not enough to conclude it's appeal to tradition because there is lack of evidence to show that homosexual marriage is in opposition with tradition. there just only 2 gays complaint about how could this things happen to them
I have comment about your items:
Trả lờiXóaItem 1: There are no slippery slope here.
Item 3: you should analysis clearly
