Week 4 Assignment: Logical Fallacies Presentation: Poking (and Plugging) Holes in Arguments

Review types of logical fallacies and examples. Locate three advertisements online that were posted no later than one year ago. The advertisements may be any of the following types, and they do not need to all be the same type: Advertisements for products, such as for a beauty product or an automobile Political campaign ads Advertisements that pop up on your social media threads, like on Facebook or Instagram Keep in mind that this assignment requires you to identify logical fallacies, so choose your three advertisements carefully, looking for those in which you do see clear and identifiable logical fallacies at work. Search until you have three advertisements that will work well for this assignment on logical fallacies. An introduction cover sheet with your name, the class, and the title – don’t be afraid to get creative with your title! For each advertisement, show (provide the hyperlink) and cite the advertisement apa. Name the fallacy that occurs and define the fallacy. For example, if you see an Ad Hominem fallacy, you will note that there is an Ad Hominem Fallacy and offer a definition of “Ad Hominem” using your own wording. Do not simply copy the definition from the lesson or textbook. Explain how and why a specific portion of the ad represents this specific fallacy. Be thorough and clear. Repeat the above process with your other two advertisements. References need to be provided in which you provide full APA-correct references for your three advertisements. You should not have additional references because everything else in your presentation should simply represent your learning in this module.
