Question

Using a print source (such as a newspaper or magazine) or the Internet, find visual examples of each of the logical fallacies, that is, advertisements with a picture that illustrates one of the fallacies. Each image should contain text that expresses the particular fallacy.

Explain how that advertisement commits the fallacy.
Discuss why the advertisement contains the fallacy. For example, look at the advertisement below, and the paragraph following it:


Example paragraph: This advertisement is a picture of a cheeseburger on a red background. The words “Welcome, Best Burgers” are placed above the burger. Below the burger are the words “Natural Ingredients – Since 1987”. The word “enjoy” is on the left-hand side of the ad and the cost, “2$”, is listed on the right side of the burger. This advertisement is using exaggeration with the use of the word “Best”. This is a rhetorical fallacy because there is no way to truly know if these are the best burgers. Therefore, it is an unreasonable assertion.

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research."
