The task is to write an analysis or reflection on a principle that connects with a fallacy. Choose one principle and explain how it helps you understand, articulate, and/or analyze a fallacy. For examples: when an arguer makes a straw argument then they are violating the principle of charity, since they are misrepresenting an argument they are responding to (i.e. they are not being charitable), etc. Or, when an arguer begs the question, then they are violating the burden of proof principle, since they fail to provide proof for their conclusion, and the burden of proof states that the onus is on an arguer to provide evidence for their viewpoints, etc. Do the same - connect a fallacy (or a scheme of argument) you have studied in this course with an argument principle from this week's lecture document. You can use an example if it helps your reflection. You can think of implications of following the principle (or not following the principle) and how it connects with strong-argument making (or fallacy-making). DO NOT use either of the examples provided above. DO NOT repeat connections made by team members before you.


When referring to a fallacy or principle we have studied - you do not need to provide a reference.This reflective analysis does not require research - it requires you to think about concepts you've learned, make unique connections, and discuss them (approximately 200-300 words can achieve this). Failing this, if you do any outside research, then it must be cited using APA formatting.

Reflection on a principle that connects with a fallacy
Lectures conducted this week were on fallacie
s and principles that connects to arguments. It was interesting to see there are formal as well as informal fallacies. When the argument itself is invalid then it can be termed as formal fallacy. On the other hand, the informal policy engrosses the emotional aspects and is perhaps harder to detect. Conclusion for any informal fallacies are logically incorrect and brings along ambiguity.
In order to comprehend Fallacies, one needs to comprehend what Critical Thinking essentially implies. It is the ability to offer rationale that can enable one to take sound decisions which are morally and ethically correct. One needs to comprehend well and essentially evaluate if reasoning is valid or not. There are definite reasons that comes from various claims from the premise one is associated with. If one's premise is correct, then it is highly likely that drawn conclusion will able to true. Essentially, fallacies are...
