Question:
Critical Thinking about Fallacies
Fallacies are everywhere. They can be so common that they hide from even the savviest reader. Ideally, now that you've familiarized yourself with the common fallacy types, you will be able to think of applications in your own life. For this log, reflect upon a recent encounter you had - this could be with a person, a text, or a piece of media. Did you encounter any fallacies? If you believe that you might have, but you can't assign a specific name to the behavior that you witnessed, do your best to describe what went wrong. If these common fallacies don't quite fit, the exercise of finding fallacious logic still has merit.
