ENTRY 4_PHAN TIẾN ĐẠT

                                                   ITEM 1
                                                                       LOGIC HỌC
 Một hôm hai người bạn lâu năm mới gặp lại nhau. Một ông khoe:
    _Con tôi bây giờ là giáo sư logic học đấy.
    _Logic học là gì?-ông kia hỏi lại.
    _Thì là nhà ông có cái bể cá to đúng không?
    _Đúng.
    _Thì đó có nghĩa là ông yêu cá, ông yêu cá là ông yêu thiên nhiên, ông yêu thiên nhiên là ông yêu cuộc sống, ông yêu cuộc sống là ông yêu phụ nữ, ông yêu phụ nữ là ông không bị pêđê. Đó là logic hoc.
    Về nhà ông kia liền khoe với vợ. Bà vợ cũng hỏi:
    _Logic học là gì?
    _Là, bà vừa đập vỡ cái bể cá của tôi mấy hôm trước phải không?
    _Đúng.
    _Thì bà bị pêđê, đó là logic học.
·          Slippery slope:
Nếu nhà ông có một bể cá to
Thì ông yêu cá                    (insufficient to make conclusion like that)
Thì ông yêu thiên nhiên      (insufficient to make conclusion like that)
Thì ông yêu cuộc sống        (insufficient to make conclusion like that)
Thì ông yêu phụ nữ             (insufficient to make conclusion like that)
Thì ông không bị pê đê       (insufficient to make conclusion like that)
From the first Question ” nhà ông có cái bể cá to đúng không?”, the first man does not explain any more about why he can make the conclusion like that. So the conclusion is unsuitable.
·         Structural fallacy: Denying the antecedent
Nếu nhà ông có 1 bể cá thì ông không phải là pêđê
If A, then B
Nhà ông đập vỡ bể cá ( nhà ông không có bể cá)
Not A
=> Ông là Pêđê( trong trường hợp này là bà vợ J )
Therefore, not B
( the right structure:
If A, then B
Not B
Therefore, not A )

                                                 ITEM 2
·         Structural fallacy: denying the antecedent
If you drink coke, you will get fat
If A, then B
You don’t drink coke
Not A
Therefore, you won’t get fat
Therefore, not B

                                                         ITEM 3
I think that analyzing a video to find fallacies is quite difficult. So I add this item to my entry for all of you to read and have some comments about it. Thank you! J
·         Slippery slope
If you use Pond’s Flawless White
Then your skin will be whiter and brighter  (insufficient to conclude that)
Then you will look more beautiful               (insufficient to conclude that)
Then you can attract your boyfriend            (insufficient to conclude that)
ð  You can save you love
You can see that the conclusion of this advertisement is “ Thanks to Pond’s Flawless White, they had a happy ending”. But the primises are not strong and persuasive enough to come to this conclusion. There are many factors to assess someone beautiful or not. It does not only depend on the skin.Moreover, If you want to keep and save your love, the beautiful appearance is not enough. Everyone also cares about the other factors such as character,action…..
·         Appeal to popularity
The company persuades women to buy Pond’s Flawless White because this product can help you attract boy and save your love. J

  1. Hi, in your item 3: In your analysis, I think it lacks one important premise: Boys are attracted by beautiful girl with bright skin.

  3. n my opinion:
    in your item 1: it has fallacy of relevance.
    You can see, he said " ông yêu cá là ông yêu thiên nhiên, ông yêu thiên nhiên là ông yêu cuộc sống, ông yêu cuộc sống là ông yêu phụ nữ, ông yêu phụ nữ là ông không bị pêđê. "→ weak anology.

    about your item 3, I just want to add: This advertisement means:
    women have happiness when men love them
    men love women if they have bright skin
    Pond’s Flawless White helps women have bright skin
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Pond’s Flawless White helps women have men's love
    valid but unsound ( because it has false premise: men love women if they have bright skin)

  4. i think in your item 2, there is no structural fallacy because the poster just says that " drink coke. get fat". it means that if you drink coca cola, then you will get fat, and there is no clue saying that if you don't drink coca cola you won't get fat like you analysed.

  5. To me, in item 3, the argument is:
    Men are attracted by the women having bright and white skin
    Pond's Flawless White helps women have white skin
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    If you use Pond's Flawless White product, you will have white skin and then men will love you.
    By the way, your items are quite good and interesting! you really did a good jobs! :)
