Achieve Adopters Forum
Group Hub Activity
Hi all! I cannot figure out the answers to "Respond 1, Assess each of the following (mostly political) slogans or phrases. Which have logical fallacies — and what kind" (p. 94 of ebook). By "logical fallacies," do the instructions refer to Fallacies of Argument (pathos, logos, ethos) or are they asking us to focus only on fallacies of logical argument?
