Objective: As discussed in lecture (and the textbook), there are a wide variety of "fallacies” that violate the rules of logic, reason, judgment, critical thinking, and common sense. These errors in reasoning exist virtually everywhere in popular culture and mass media to influence/persuade us, so it's our responsibility to identify them before they adversely affect our attitudes and behavior. Instructions: Please refer to your lecture notes and textbook for descriptions & examples of the various fallacy types. Once you have a general understanding of each type, provide 10 different examples of fallacies from the various media outlets (e.g. internet, magazines, newspapers, etc.). Once you identify a fallacy in printed form, tape or paste to a blank piece of 8.5” x 11” paper , label which specific type of fallacy is being used, and explain how or why that fallacy applies to your example (only 1 fallacy per page). Once completed, please print your name at the bottom of this handout and attach as your cover sheet. You may use any of the fallacy types listed below, as long as you include 10 different examples. If you submit less than 10 types, provide incorrect examples, or fail to explain them clearly, points will be deducted. The due date for this project is Friday, April 14th. Late projects will not be accepted, but you may submit it early if desired.
