A fallacy is a defect in an argument that consists in either a mistake in reasoning or the creation of an illusion that makes a bad argument appear good. A fallacy, therefore, represents a mistake in reasoning, or a bad inference from one or more premises to a conclusion. Besides committing a fallacy (a mistake in reasoning), the other way an argument can be defective is to have one or more false premises. If an argument either (1) has one or more false premises or (2) commits a fallacy, then the argument is either unsound (for deductive arguments) or uncogent (for inductive arguments). Conversely, if an argument is either unsound or uncogent, then it either has false premises or it commits a fallacy, or both. There are two types of fallacies: formal and informal. A formal fallacy occurs when a deductive argument form employs an invalid arrangement of terms or statements. Thus, formal fallacies can be detected by inspecting the form of the argument alone, and they occur only in deductive arguments. By contrast, an informal fallacy can be detected only by inspecting the content of an argument.

Who is the executive branch checking when the president calls a special session of congress

How did world war i contribute to the events leading up to world war ii? (a)germans wanted to expand their nation to regain territory in the soviet union. (b)britain and france wanted to force germany to make reparation payments. (c)germans hated the versailles treaty and supported hitler's actions to defy it. (d)the soviet union wanted to take over german territory in eastern europe.

Does this sound good? hey great britain, we need to talk. we’ve been through a lot these past couple of years and i don’t think that i would’ve made it this far without you but, i think it’s time that i tried to. don’t get me wrong, i think you’re a pretty great country! you’re smart, you’re funny, you're rich, and very dominant but, these past couple of years you’ve been a little too dominant. as each year goes by you become more and more self-absorbed. you’re only concerned about your own well-being. for example, when we get into arguments you always raise the taxes on paper and tea prices; it just isn’t fair. not only are you selfish but, you always want your buddies around. it’s not very fun cleaning up after you and your british soldiers (you guys never put the toilet seat down). they’re always popping up unexpected, and you always force me to let them stay for a couple of days. not to mention how irresponsible you are. i don’t like it when you force some of your responsibility on me. it’s not my fault that you got yourself into another war so, why should i have to pay for it? listen, in the beginning, what we had was good but, you and i aren’t so compatible anymore. i think it’s best if i took some time to be independent and think for myself for once. -yours truly, the states
