Question

Read the following scenerio carefully and explain what logical fallacies are been commited in each of thse situation.

(1)Pointing to a fancy chart, Roger shows how temperatures have been rising over the past few centuries, whilst at the same time the numbers of pirates have been decreasing; thus pirates cool the world and global warming is a hoax. What Logical Fallacy is this and why?

(2)Bananas and telephones are both shaped to fit our hands, so telephones must, like bananas, be edible. What Logical Fallacy is this and why?

(3)They accuse us of making unjustified assertions. But they asserted a lot of things, too!” What fallacy is this and why?

Answer 1

1).climate and environment has changed over the past centuries. That we know as a form of decreasing rainfall, rising temperature and changes in the ocean acidity and salinity. Deforestation, soil erosion, excessive use of fossil fuels and farming live stocks are some of the reasons. Now a days pirates are less compared to past few centuries.

The fallacy is the pirates are never going to cool the world. At the same time global warning is a serious issue. Lets hold our hands for doing simple works which will give shade for everyone ie. fight against deforestaion, soil erosion and avoid excessive use of fossil fuels.

2)The fallacy of banana. Banana is a fruit. It is an edible. Telephone is an electricsl device using for comnunication from distance to far and viceversa.Both banana and telephones are similar shape and fit our hand.

3)Always accuse pointed out some reasons of expressing their innocents. Most of thev accuse activities are delibrately committing.Arguments is most common. The ligical fallacy is error is always error. No one can change the rules in error regardless of how many people make it.
