HUY NGUYEN ENTRY_4
Item 1:
Analysis:
False dilemma: The picture offers only 2 choices : loving the country or leave it( because you don’t love it) . However , there’re not only 2 choices, there may be another choices can be made :
-Leave it( for some reasons) but you still love it.
-Live in it, but don’t love it.
And there’re different tones of emotion varying from hatred to love.
Item 2:
Births
As three men were sitting restlessly in the hospital waiting room, a nurse rushed in and said to one of them:” Good news, your wife just had twins”.
“What a coincidence,” the man shouted. ”I’m a ball player. I’m with the Minnesota Twins.”
A few minutes later she returned and said to one of the other men,” My God, what good news we are having to day. Your wife just gave birth to triplets.”
“Now there’s a coincidence,” the man said:” I work for the 3M Company”
Just when the third man fainted. The nurse called an intern, and together they worked to revive the man. As a matter of routine, they checked his wallet for identification. It was then they discovered that he was a salesman for 7-Up”
Analysis:
The man playing for Minnesota Twins: His wife gave birth to a twins
The man working in 3M Company : His wife gave birth to a triplets
The man working for 7-Up : His wife may give birth to 7 babies!
Structure : If A then B
A
Therefore B
In my opinion that’s fallacy of presumption and weak analogy. The fact that how many babies that the women gave birth to had already shown through the name of the company which the man is working is just a coincidence. There’s no foundation for this argument.
