Fallacies

Your assignment this week is to write an example of each of the seven fallacies we covered this week:

1. Ad populum
2. Ad misericordia
3. Red Herring
4. Straw Man
5. Ad hominem
6. Ad baculum
7. Ignoratio elenchi
   I want separate arguments for each of these seven categories. They can be short – two sentences each,
   roughly. Some tips:
   -They need to be arguments, not just sentences. They should try to argue for some conclusion, using the
   mistakes provided in each category.
   -Focus on the essential feature of each argument type: an ad hominem should attack a person, a red herring
   should change the subject, etc. Look at their definitions for those essential features.
