Identifying logical fallacies
typ
which fallacies appear in the argument? check all that
apply.
the real issue is that the use of nuclear power and
nuclear weapons is forcing humankind, and indeed the
whole ecosystem, to participate in a particularly cruel and
totally uncontrolled experiment. given the scientific
evidence that there is no safe dose of radiation, this is an
experiment that has already gone
the real question is whether we, as a human race, can
afford in good conscience to risk annihilation with our
continued reliance on nuclear technology. can we
continue to despoil our environment with long-lived
radioactive materials that are scattered to the wind and
embedded in our precious soil, randomly exposing large
populations, and foisting health impacts on unsuspecting
future generations who have no choice in this matter?
we may choose to do so. but if we do, i am quite sure
that our children and grandchildren will roundly
condemn us for our lack of foresight and our selfishness.
as they struggle to deal with a poisonous environment
appeal to emotion because the passage describes
the potential impact on children
bandwagon because the author states that
everyone agrees on this issue
ad hominem because the author questions the
honesty of scientists
false dilemma because it states that we must end
the use of nuclear energy or die
appeal to emotion because it describes possible
catastrophe

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
