1 SCAMMED! How did the scammers convince their victims? 1. Used arguments. 2. Used credibility. 3. Used rhetoric.

2 Rhetoric Rhetorical devices not just about language choice. Rhetorical devices also include pretend reasoning called Pseudoreasoning: Presenting premises that sound like part of a legitimate argument, but do not really give good reasons to believe a conclusion.

3 Rhetoric Pseudoreasoning lead us to fallacies. Fallacies: Mistakes in reasoning.

4 Fallacies What s going on here? #1 - Scapegoating (Special type of argument from outrage) Inciting anger by blaming a certain group of people or a single person for problems. Examples?

5 Fallacies What s going on here? #2 - Argument from Outrage Instead of: Premise Conclusion We have: Inflammatory words Conclusion Substitutes anger for reason.

6 Rhetoric Just because an argument is said with anger doesn t make it a fallacy. Sarah owns a Leblanc Saxophone. Since Leblanc makes all their instruments in France, Sarah must own a French saxophone.dammit!!!

7 Fallacies What are these people trying to do? 1. Salesman: Buy Michelin tires. Don t risk your children s safety by buying inferior brands. 2. Political Pundit: Don t vote for him. He doesn t scare the terrorists. If he s in office the terrorists will surely strike again. #3 -Scare Tactics Trying to scare us into accepting or doing something. Substitutes fear for reason.

8 Fallacies #4 -Special type of Scare Tactic: Argument from Force Using personal threats to convince someone to accept or do something. This Salesman: Buy Michelin tires. Don t risk your children s safety by buying inferior brands. Becomes this Salesman: Buy Michelin tires, or I ll run you over. Buy Michelin tires, or I ll eat your children.

9 Fallacies More Argument from Force Examples This Political Pundit: Don t vote for him. He doesn t scare the terrorists. If he s in office the terrorists will surely strike again. Becomes this Political Pundit: Don t vote for him or I ll have you fired! Don t vote for him or I ll expose your affair on television!

10 Other Emotional Based Fallacies #5 - Argument From Pity Professor, you should give me an A on the midterm. My wife just left me and my child has only one good eye. #6 - Argument From Envy You shouldn t let Bill Gates off the hook for a traffic violation. He s a millionaire and owns half the universe. #7 - Argument From Pride (Apple Polishing) Officer, thank you for protecting my neighborhood and keeping us safe. If you think I was speeding, I must have been. But do you think you can find it in your kind heart to let me go this one time?

11 Group Exercise In groups of 3-6 come up with original examples of each of the following fallacies: 1. Argument from Outrage 2. Argument using a Scapegoat. 3. Scare Tactics 4. Argument from Force 5. Argument from Pity 6. Argument from Envy 7. Argument from Pride (Apple Polishing)
