“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man”

This saying is logical. Most would agree with it]]> 2016-12-13 19:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143459455 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143459548 appeal emotionally/persuade

My father smoked four packs of cigarettes a day since age fourteen and lived until age sixty-nine.  Therefore, smoking really can’t be that bad for you.

Assuming his good health with smoking ]]> 2016-12-14 17:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143663279 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143664115 happens after an event

I had been doing pretty poorly this season. Then my girlfriend gave me this neon laces for my spikes and I won my next three races. Those laces must be good luck...if I keep on wearing them I can't help but win

Assumes the laces are good luck because he only won after he received them]]> 2016-12-14 17:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143664115 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143664896 small step leads to a chain event

We cannot unlock our child from the closet because if we do, she will want to roam the house.  If we let her roam the house, she will want to roam the neighborhood.  If she roams the neighborhood, she will get picked up by a stranger in a van, who will sell her in a sex slavery ring in some other country.  Therefore, we should keep her locked up in the closet.

Assuming a chain of events from a small beginning with minimal possibilities of happening]]> 2016-12-14 17:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143664896 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143665526 Majority agrees, the reader should too
Persuasion

When they put on a show, and it’s a hit
No one tries to censor it
Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong.
And when a book is selling at it’s best
It isn’t stopped; it’s not suppressed.
Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong

If fifty million frenchman can't be wrong, why would the reader question their credibility]]> 2016-12-14 17:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143665526 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143666796 using a false authority to argue a point 

My 5th grade teacher once told me that girls will go crazy for boys if they learn how to dance.  Therefore, if you want to make the ladies go crazy for you, learn to dance.

The 5th grade teacher is giving the credibily of knowing exactly what would make boys want to like a girl]]> 2016-12-14 17:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/143666796 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144092730 Accepting a claim just because it's popular

“Gods must exist, since every culture has some sort of belief in a higher being.”

Religion is a popular aspect to any culture. If you are religious just because it is popular that is Ad Populum]]> 2016-12-16 16:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144092730 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144093223 Attacking the person rather than the argument topic

“How can you argue your case for vegetarianism when you are enjoying your steak?

The person is arguing how valid the other person is rather than if vegetarianism is good/bad]]> 2016-12-16 16:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144093223 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144094053 try to win an argument by guilt or pity

I really deserve an “A” on this paper, professor.  Not only did I study during my grandmother’s funeral, I also passed up the heart transplant surgery, even though that was the first matching donor in 3 years.

The student is trying to get a higher grade by making the teacher feel bad]]> 2016-12-16 16:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144094053 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144094721 Ignoring a persons position and misinterpreting what they actually are 

After Will said that we should put more money into health and education, Warren responded by saying that he was surprised that Will hates our country so much that he wants to leave it defenceless by cutting military spending.

Assumes Will hates the country  ]]> 2016-12-16 16:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144094721 17gioiad https://padlet.com/17gioiad/v0dwfwpw3ewj/wish/144095392 Redirecting an argument to something that can be more easily discussed

Ken: But what is morality exactly?

Mike: It’s a code of conduct shared by cultures.

Ken: But who creates this code?...
