Please make one post on critical thinking and one on creative thinking.
For the first post, give an example of a fallacy in reasoning.
Here are some examples.
When my children were very young, I would tell them
to brush their teeth in the evening. I told them that if they did not brush
their teeth, the sugar bugs would eat their teeth all night and eventually
their teeth would turn green and fall out. By predicting dire consequences, we try
to influence behavior. This is an example of using slippery slope. Maybe some
of you child development majors would have a better way of getting children to
brush their teeth, but this worked for me.
When my
daughter was in middle school, she died her blond hair black. I asked her why
she did it and she said that she was tired of blond jokes. She was the victim
of the stereotype that all blondes are dumb.
You will also find many
examples of fallacies in reasoning in commercials. Take this supplement, eat what you want, don't exercise, and lose weight. Buy this expensive cream and you will look younger.
Here are just a couple of recent examples of fallacies in reasoning in politics: all refugees are terrorists, all Mexicans are criminals.
For your first post, provide other examples of fallacies in reasoning from commercials, politics, or your own personal life.
For your second post, respond to this creative thinking exercise.
Review the information about creativity and brainstorming and have a little fun with this exercise. Provide
at least 3 answers to these questions:

DeleteA example of a fallacy in reasoning would be when I used to tell my little brother that if he did not get straight A's in school, my father will not allow him to go to college and will not have a good career. So ever since he was young, he feared getting any letter grade beside A's, which really paid off now that he is in high school and doing really great. Sometimes, scaring the little ones young prepares them better for the future.
ReplyDeleteA common fallacy that I see and hear all the time is "You cannot be a good parent or even a good person because you have tattoos. People with tattoos hate children, can't get a job and don't go to church." This to me is a very biased and generalized statement. I also believe this to be a scare tactic in some cases. I have two tattoos and want to get more. I not only have a job but I have a job working with kids that I absolutely adore. I find that many people generalize tattoos and being a hardened person or a criminal because they don't understand the need or want for these things themselves.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a fallacy that many of the younger generation face today. I still recommend not getting tattoos that cannot be covered by business attire. It will take awhile for this fallacy to get better.

DeleteAn example of a fallacy would be what I used to tell my little cousin. As a kid he had horrible handwriting. I told him that if he didn't try to improve his handwriting and make it look really nice, he will not be accepted into college like his other cousins who were in college at the time. I think he was 8 years old when I told him this. It got him really scared and it actually worked. He is in high school now and he has great handwriting. Recently a friend of his told me that he complimented my cousin on his handwriting and my cousin said, "When I was a kid, Savannah told me I wouldn't be accepted into college if I didn't have good handwriting so ever since then I wrote nicely." That is one fallacy I can think of and surprisingly it worked for him.
ReplyDeleteAn example of a fallacy in reasoning is I tell myself everyday that if as long as I try to my best to eat healthy that is all I can do. In actuality, just trying my best is simply not enough. If I want to maintain a healthy lifestyle than I must be dedicated & committed to not eating certain things. By Me telling myself it's okay as long as I do my best is allowing me, and giving myself permission to cheat and eat bad. In order to be successful in a healthy lifestyle, I must change my thinking, and tell myself that if I want to see results, I must hold myself accountable.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good example of fallacies that we use to justify unwanted behavior. Good job!

Actually, I didn't listen to them before but after that I knew they were right and tried to do my best to not let myself crazy with food and stay away from anything affect on my health.

DeleteAn example of chicanery was with one of my children, as a youngster in the first days of school, was crying every morning did not want to go it was not loved, as he asks me that brought him to the door of the class and was crying and tell me, do not leave, every day I would tell him not to do it, because if you sat in the house will not learn to read and write did not you friends, then did not cry and was listening to my words, and loved school so much, he is now excelling in the high school. So the parents to advise their young on the good and useful things for a good future.

DeleteAn example of my fallacy in reasoning is when I was a child, my mother told me If I drink coffee, my face will be black because before I like to drink coffee a lot, so I didn't care and I kept to drink coffee. But then, my mother told me If you continue drink coffee, not your face will be black , but your teeth and your body too, so immediately I stopped drinking coffee. When I grew up, I knew that my mother was right because she wanted to keep my body healthy and I knew that drinking coffee a lot is not good for my health and coffee has a lot of caffeine in it which is not healthy.

DeleteLiving in the United States on a daily basis you have to here a lot of negative statement that are being made by against black people for example all black people like to live on welfare or all young black men are thugs and drug dealers. These fallacies are made against the black race but the successful black people are not recognized such Dr Dre who came from a low income community in Los Angles and was able to become a billionaire by producing music.Dr Dre was also able to sell his beats headphone to apple. People may often make negative stereotypes placing everyone in a particular ethnic group as identical but they fail to recognize the ones that work hard to become successful. There is a saying "do not look down on a person if you are not reaching out your hand to pull them up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with every word you wrote only one thing,we can see this situation in every country and everywhere not only in United State.
DeleteLove your comment. I agree that African Americans, as well as other minorities, have to deal with negative stereotypes. Maybe education and improved awareness will help.

Deletean example of fallacy in reasoning is that when I was at age 15 I used to eat fast food, drink sodas, and eat candies; I didn’t care about my body. My friends and family they always tell me that am getting so fat and I had to pay attention to what I am eating. Because eating unhealthy food will affect my health and cause my illness. Day after day I realized that my clothes size just changed and the dresses are not fitting in my body perfectly. I just thought about what my family and friends used to tell me and I start doing exercise and eating only a healthy food. I lost a lot of weight and I got my perfect body again.
ReplyDeletewhen i read your post it remind me on my daughter of almost 15 age . She so far has a good figure but she eat unhealthy food. I hope that she ever would understand it doesn't mean that she has a good figure right now which means that she is healthy. If she will not think correctly about having a healthy food, she will not have a good healthy figure.
DeleteThis is a good introduction to our health chapter next week. Learning to eat healthy is so important for ourselves and our children.

Fallacy of perfection entered my life since I was little. I never liked give a speech. I shut down and feel very nervous when I stand in front of a bunch of people either I know or don’t. Sometimes I feel that I have not written this paper good enough and I start struggle with my paper and the speech I wrote. Anxiety is the most common in people here on this world. Many people suffer from anxiety and are scared to say something, because they feel nervous or scared. What we actually have to do is to fear our fears.
ReplyDeleteInteresting comment about fearing our fears. The stress of attempting to be perfect makes it difficult to do well in school. I always say it is best to aim for excellence, not perfection. Stress gets in the way of success, as you have discovered.

DeleteIn beer advertisement, they show successful people drinking beer to sell the message that drinking beer equal success. However, in reality, drinking alcohol is related to health and behavior disorders.
ReplyDeleteYes, I see these ads about beer frequently. We need to be able to recognize this fallacy to maintain our good health.
DeleteOne fallacy that I commonly hear that bothers me is that if you do not do well on a test in high school you will be a failure in college. This particular fallacy is known as a “slippery slope fallacy” which is basically just if event a happens than event b will take place. However this is often not the case. I first heard this fallacy during my sophomore year and at the time I believed it and became overwhelmed as I tried my absolute best to not do badly in high school. Looking back now I see how untrue this statement was since I know many college students that are excelling even if they did not do too well in high school.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good example of slippery slope. It is never too late to do better.

ReplyDelete1. A peanut has a softer inner side like me.

An example of my fallacy was when I was younger and my father would tell me if I drink energy drinks at a young age I would become immune to its boost effect. He would tell me that I didn’t need to consume such drink, because when I grew up and actually needed that boost it would be effective any more. As I was growing up I started learning of the consequences of drinking energy drinks and how they could cause a hearth attack or diabetes. So I made a commitment to drink coffee instead of genetically modified energy drink substances.

3.Takes too much time
The one fallacy that I hear the most is "You have to go to college to be successful." You don't need college to be successful, you need a successful mindset. You are your biggest motivator, and it all starts with mindset. You don't need college to be successful, plenty of people are successful without college. Going to college and being rich doesn't exactly make you a successful person.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct about this fallacy. College does not guarantee success, but it opens doors.
DeleteAn example of fallacy in reasoning would be when I tell my niece and nephew if they stay up late like after 9:00pm, they will get kidnapped. I tell them that because I want them to sleep early and I do not want them to be like the other kids that stay up so late and their parents do not care about them. I do not want to be mean to them and try to yell at them, it might scare them but it is better for them.

Deletean example of fallacy in reasoning are commercials that involve advertising their product. They act like they have created the best thing and it has never been done before. They even act like it is the best deal because they are offering a buy one get one free to make it seem like it is a steal. Every advertising commercial is buy one get one free and they make it seem like they are the first one's to do it.

ReplyDeleteon the days my son is not wanting to go to bed at a resonable time I tell him that the pillow fairy will visit him if he goes to bed and leave him a supirse. (piece of candy) This can appeal to common belief. I sometimes feel bad for lying but it works.

DeleteAn example of a fallacy in reasoning would be when I used to tell my daughters that they have to continue their education because it is better for them to have a degree than anything else in this world especially when you don't like to work under someone's else hand, so now they are all studying to get their degree and be successful as I wished to them to be.

An example of my fallacy in reasoning is when I was a kid, my father use to told me If I smoke in the future, my lounges will be black because of the smoke that will go inside my body, I use to think my dad is telling me that just so I don’t smoke. But then, my mother told me If you smoke in the future it will affect your teeth color and also gets you exhausted fast and cause you a lot of health problems, so I immediately believed both of my parents. When I grew up, I knew that my mother and father were right when they told me to not smoke when I grow up because they wanted to keep my body healthy.
ReplyDeleteBe thankful that your parents taught you not to smoke.
DeleteOne fallacy that I always think of immediately is post hoc.It might be because I've taken so many english classes and learned about fallacies 15 times that the words "post hoc" just stand out in my memory or because I aways pictured the same scenario overtime I learned about it. Either way, my example of post hoc is when I played soccer I always tapped my toes on the starting twice on each foot before the game would start. I think it started after I did it one game and scored 3 goals that day, so after that I thought if I didn't do it, I'd play badly. Even when I wasn't scoring three goals, or we as a team weren't even winning I still felt like if I didn't tap my toes it would be bad luck. Silly, I know but it always stands out in my memory.
ReplyDeleteI see lots of examples of post hoc with athletes. It is funny to watch. Rafael Nadal has to adjust his shorts every time before he serves the ball.

How is a peanut like going to college?
1. It's hard at first but worth it once you crack it and get to the good part, the part you actually like to eat. College general education is boring and a hassle but once you get past it you get to start to learn about the things related to your major, which you're actually interested in.
2. Peanuts aren't for everyone, a lot of people are allergic. College isn't for everyone, its where people figure out whats truly right for them.
3. Peanuts are food. College is education, and education is food for the brain!

DeleteAn example of a fallacy in reasoning would be when I used to tell my daughters not to drink a lot of dark coffee because it has a lot of caffeine in it and if they do so, this will affect their lives in the future because they will be addicted to it and they will keep drinking it every time everywhere, this advice gave them the ability to stop drinking a lot of it in their free time and make it less day after day so they can use it and try to stay ay it in the future.

DeleteA fallacy in reasoning that first comes to mind is acne commercial products and how they are very promising to clear and zap away all your acne in no problem. In reality there is no such thing and acne can’t be 100% zapped away from the use of a cleanser. Instead there are many other different things that you have to do to take good care of your skin.

- Those commercials showing animals being neglected or feed the children commercials.
ReplyDelete- All Donald Trump supporters are racists
-Dieting commercials suggesting someone can lose a ton of weight in a short amount of time without exercising or dieting, all you have to do is take this pill.
Good examples of fallacies being used in commercials.
DeleteAn example of fallacy in reasoning would be when I tell my kids that studying is the key to success and have a better life when they grow up. The reason why I tell them this it’s because I want them to be successful in their life and never ask anyone for anything, I want them to be able to do everything by themselves. I do not want to be a strict parent, I don’t tell them that either this or nothing else, but I advise them and encourage them to do it, but if they don’t want it it’s their fault they won’t blame me when they grow up because I gave them my advice but they just didn’t want to take it.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you are encouraging your children to complete their education. You are a good role model and they will follow your lead.

DeleteLately, I have been seeing a lot of celebrities taking the role of the fallacy Appeal to Authority, it seems to be a successful marketing tool with all the social media and media access. For example, you see several already fit and in good health celebrities taking pictures with their “Skinny me tea” in the morning and commenting on how much they LOVE the tea or how much it has helped them. These are appeal to authority, yet because they are on social networking sites such as Facebook, Snapchat, or Instagram people don’t realize that it is a fallacy and marketing tool.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are so many examples of celebrities endorsing products. They make a lot of money that way.

An example of fallacy in reasoning would be when I tell my daughter to get off her phone because it’s not as good as she thinks it is.The reason why I tell her this it’s because I want her to be successful in her life and study more than spending time on social media because it’s not going to get her anywhere. I do this because I don’t want her to stick to her cell phone the whole time, if she stays like this she’s not going to be a sociable person or have friends in real life but all she’s going to do is chat with her friends on line.
ReplyDeleteYes, the cell phone is a great waster of time and holds people back from accomplishing their goals.

DeleteOne day after school, I was at my friends house studying for a test the next day at school and her mom was making dinner in the kitchen. While we were studying her mom sees this Subway commercial and there is a lady eating ice cream and the husband comes down and looks at her and she says I ate Subway. My friends mom goes and tells her you need to eat Subway so you can get skinny and eat what you want. My friend started crying and then I told her eating right and being more active will help you lose weight not Subway. So that commercial to me is a lie, it is not true. Hard work, discipline and eating right will make you reach your goal, not a sandwich from Subway.
ReplyDeleteExactly right! Subway just wants to make money with the idea.

ReplyDelete1. A peanut is brown like me.
2. I am small like a peanut.
3. Like a peanut my shell can be crushed on the outside but I am tough in the inside.
An example of fallacy in reasoning that I found in commercials was a picture of McDonald's saying over 99 billion people were served. This is a fallacy in reasoning through appeal to popular opinion. It is saying that if so many people have eaten there, then it must be good food, so then I should definitely go and eat there. Appeal to popular opinion is a main fallacy used in commercials, mostly if people who are skeptics using or eating a product and they believe that this is the most amazing thing invented, then it is the right thing to buy. It makes you want to buy it because every one else is buying it, and it makes you feel more comfortable to buy because this many people have already bought it with positive results.
ReplyDeleteGreat example of an appeal to popular opinion. Good job!
DeleteHow is a peanut like me:

How is a peanut like going to college:

Creative peanut ideas!

ReplyDeleteA big fallacy I experienced was with acne commercials, A little while back I was struggling with acne and any commercial that seemed like it was too good to be true I would try. So a commercial would tell me to use their product if I want clear skin and I would. For example, I tried out proactiv because of their raving commercials, but it actually seemed to make my skin worse.

One fallacy of reasoning such as appeal to authority has been just growing and growing as Athletes and celebrities are endorsing so many famous clothing brands and other products. I am a victim of some of these as i too purchase items just because they are endorsed by certain people. I will buy something more expensive just because of its endorsement by an athlete or celebrity that i like more than the other. One example of this is when i was buying some new soccer cleats. I love both nike and adidas when it comes to good sports apparel. When i was looking into new cleats and deciding between nike or adidas i ended up watching an advertisement and video of the new cleats i was looking at and i chose adidas simply because my favorite soccer player Lionel Messi is the face of adidas soccer. Companies know that a lot of people loom up to these famous superstars and that they can have a huge influence in peoples lives.

A fallacy that is currently trending right now is that if you buy kylie jenner's lip kits you will look like kylie jenner. This is not true because even if you might be wearing the exact same color kylie is wearing it doesn't mean you are just like her. just because you use a product a celebrity endorses does not mean you will be like them
