As months went by my friend believed of become an expecting mother. During this time a prenatal or blood test had not been conducted. The husband becomes aware that the finally day has arrived a child to parent and certainly carry the father’s last name. While being under false pretense with one major problem. In the mist of this event my friend did not make her husband aware there may be another person involved who might be the father to this unborn child. For several months expressed fallacies carried through until the husband asked to go to the first doctor’s appointment. The two argued back and forth for an additional month before my friend reveal the child may possible not be the husbands. …show more content…
My friend pregnancy claim was unwarranted to either male since there was no child to make a clear connection. My friend problem still exist the two will never find resolution. In the meantime my friend is considered a single mother after having a child belonging to the husband cousin two years later. To avoid fallacies I will need supporting evidence for my claim and I need not to mislead the cognitive gain of my audience. Therefore not to expressing fallacies by communication my audience to lose focus or have a misconception of my thoughts by presenting fallacies to misrepresentation of my proposal. Although there is collaboration does not mean the object has anything to do with the or how to resolve the problem to make the appropriate connection.

    According to Hacker and Sommers’ in “Constructing Reasonable Arguments”, taking a stand on a controversial topic, swaying the reader with evidence and analysis, and citing all sources used within an essay are the stepping-stones to produce a well manufactured argumentative essay. The main goal is to persuade the reader to choose the writer's side of the argument over the opposing side in an informative way. Arguments happen everywhere all the time, which means there is more than one way to look at an issue. It's recommended to research the debatable topic and look at it from multiple angles. An efficient way to present a position is to treat is like a court case and provide the reader with as much evidence to sway them while addressing any…

    Non Traditional Families

    Laurel Elder and Steven Greene in their work, “Politicians love to talk about family. But maybe not yours.” try to argue that politicians need to start talking about all families and not just traditional families and need to provide support for all families. While their abundance of logical appeals and their choice of not including emotional appeals would make their argument successful for the type of article they produced, their lack of intrinsic ethos makes their credibility a little faulty and makes their overall argument unsuccessful. Elder and Greene are both Political Science professors; Elder teaches at Hartwick University in New York and Greene teaches at North Carolina University.…

    Ingalls 1 Cody Ingalls Professor Rhodes Introduction to Ethics April 15th, 2017 Case Study The debate surrounding abortion rights presents many ethical dilemmas, and is rarely a black and white issue, which makes it difficult to label all abortions as moral or immoral. Many people who are opposed to abortion are willing to support it in certain situations, such as in the case of rape, incest, or the endangerment of a mother’s life. One of these situations is described in the case study “Conceived in Violence, Born in Hate,” an overview of a rape and assault victim who was forcibly impregnated and decided to carry the child to term. The case raises interesting questions about the morality of abortions in the case of rape, and the autonomy of…

    Reflection and Cover Letter It is not ironic that I choose to rewrite the first essay that I ever wrote as a Nittany Lion, my rebuttal argument. Looking back to the awkward freshmen that walked into the first day of English 15 and the person that I am today, I realized that I grew in many ways. This includes my maturity level, my independence, my social life, and, yes, my writing. I was completely closed minded about my writing abilities at the beginning of the semester.…

    In “Outliers,” Malcolm Gladwell attempts to prove to his audience that their idea behind how success is attained in the United States is considerably different than what many Americans would like to think. In America many people believe in the concept of a hard-working individual pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and earning their success through dedication and talent. Gladwell attempts to prove while individual efforts are a big role in success, theses outliers would have never been as successful as they are without luck and opportunity. Throughout “Outliers,” Gladwell points out certain key opportunities that arose in the lives of many successful people and argues that these rare and exceptional opportunities are the reasons behind people’s success. While analyzing multiple stories of success, to persuade his readers into agreeing with his opinion on success, Gladwell incorporates the use of multiple logical fallacies that throw his entire perspective on success into question.…

    Before beginning this course, I knew that I lacked confidence within my writing. People say that you are your own worst critique, and I fully agree with that statement. My writing was not terrible in some aspects, but I knew that it needed to be improved upon. I lacked the experience needed because writing was not something that I did on a daily basis. When I first started English 1302, the little confidence that I had significantly plummeted since my writing seemed childish compared to other students.…

    The Luddites Fallacy

    As a form of protest during the Industrial Revolution, Luddites destroyed weaving machinery they believed would usurp their jobs and render time invested in skill acquisition wasted. Their protest was not in disdain or fear of general technological progress so much as it was a reaction to a development directly affecting their livelihoods and an intent to move into a better bargaining position with employers (Conniff, 2011). Modern usage of the term “Luddite” has expanded to encompass general resistance to many technologies, in addition to naming a fallacious line of thinking. The Luddite fallacy refers to the fear of technological unemployment by way of workplace automation, ultimately causing widespread economic damage. In the case of the…
