AD POPULUM APPEAL TO INDIRECT CONSEQUENCES

You should to study hard for you exams or else you will fail and wont be able to complete your degree within specified time. You will be in university until you are very old and your juniors will always laugh at you. You will end up being miserable and quitting your studies. Then you won't find a good job and will not accomplish your dreams.

ARGUMENUM A SILENTIO

I have tried learning to play Piano since I was young but until now i still cannot. I guess I will NEVER be successful in the music industry.

FALLACY OF AMBUGUITY

This one is from a friend's conversation , she said

 "I just watched baseball team practising for the game tommorow. Their pitch is really bad. "

what really does pitch mean the baseball field OR the act of throwing the ball to the batter to hit it.

This fallacy occurs  like when you don't know which of the two meanings is the speaker refering to as seen above

Oh notice that i have used two different stategies for defining the word pitch above

baseball Field - definition by synonym

The act of throwing the ball to the batter to hit it -  dictionary definition(www.thefreedictionary.com/pitch) definition 2

OVERGENERALITY

Look a the conversation below between Caroline, Moneyface and Elyn

Caroline:When are we going to start doing the group assignment?

Elyn: Later.

Moneyface: When is the due date?

Carolyn: Soon

Elyn: Okay okay lah! We will talk about it later, I have to leave.

Caroline & MoneyFace: Bye, oh you mind telling us where you going

Elyn: Somewhere

oh yeah, look at the highlighted words below, what do they exactly mean? Later, in two minutes, hours or days, how about soon, tomoro or next week, somewhere, could it be library, or cafe.

This are the kind of Words we use in our daily conversations, sometime okay but sometimes they sound mean but the important thing is to avoid them when you are writing or trying to convince people of something.

LOADED QUESTION

Why can't you be quiet when the lecture is speaking?

As a reader when you see the question you assume that the person who is being asked is always talking and making noise while the lecture is in progress, that why it is said to be loaded, it comes with a different attached meaning which makes the reader make doubtful conclusion.

Be careful when you ask such question because if its concerning me, I will slap you!!!!!!!!!! haha bye enjoy, c ya tomoro, wen i do my last post

GIVE IT A TRY

PETITIO PRINCIPII FALLACY

I was sitting in front of the library today waiting for my critical thinking class to begin, while i was sitting there, one boy came and joined his friends who were sitting in the table just besides mine. He showed them a CD which he was holding on the hand. They asked him why he bought a new expensive CD while he can download from the internet and transfer into an Empty CD. He defended himself by saying by doings so he will be practising Software piracy which is illegal. 

One of his other friends hit back and asked him "Why are you saying sofware piracy is illegal", the boy went on and said " do you really want to know? its because its against the law."

the words illegal and against the law means essentially the same thing.

TU QUOQUE

How can you be saying i did not do my part while you cannot even say a single word from your speech. This was what my groupmate for Bahasa Malaysia Drama assignment said when one of our members who was so disappointed with the outcome of todays's meeting, asked why we didnt memorize our scripts.

This adhominem fallacy basically occurs when someone tries to point out something but then it turns out that they also has the same weakness or fault that they are accusing others of.
