You posted this in the homework section, did you read the sticky attached to it?

We will not do your homework for you, but we can help you correct your work.

In other words, what do you think the "fallacy" is? Start with that and we'll go from there. :)

The question is:
Determine what fallacies are committed in the following:
1.) Found: Seiko watch by a handsome freshman student with 2-unit load

2.) Disgruntled teachers form unions. Then, unions cause strikes and, therefore, should be abolished.

3.) You are in favor of the proposed bill on the legalization of abortion and a bill on divorce, thereby forgetting our well cherished beliefs as Christians.

Yes, this is my homework, help me.. (8 more questions left)

Well, fallacy means anything that causes an argument to go wrong.. but regarding with the questions, I can't really configure it out so please help me answer it,.

We cannot do your homework for you, otherwise we aren't really helping you, not in the long run.

We can help you by looking at your work, leading you in the right direction.

In other words, what fallacies do you think are being committed in those statements?

Look up the word fallacy and go from there. Read the sentences and decide if there are fallacies being committed. When you've decided then post what you think and we'll go from there. Okay?

The definition of fallacy;

a fallacy is a misconception resulting from incorrect reasoning in argumentation. By accident or design, fallacies may exploit emotional triggers in the listener or interlocutor (e.g. appeal to emotion), or take advantage of social relationships between people (e.g. argument from authority). Fallacious arguments are often structured using rhetorical patterns that obscure the logical argument, making fallacies more difficult to diagnose. Also, the components of the fallacy may be spread out over separate arguments.

So let's look at the sentence you posted;

disgruntled teachers form unions. Then, unions cause strikes and, therefore, should be abolished

Is that a reasonable argument? If not, why?

I can't think of it.. I'm really having a hard time answering it.. I don't what to say and where to start. Can you please provide me the answer for number one, then I'll try to answer the remaining answer please..

Amm... I think no, cause it might also affect those students they were teaching..

Is it correct?

It is a fallacy statement. Not because of the students but because the union isn't to blame for the teachers striking, it's because the teachers are disgruntled that they strike. The union has nothing to do with it and therefore shouldn't be abolished.

That's my take on it. I could be wrong but that's how I'm reading it and that would be my answer.

So what kind of fallacy is this? Fallacy statement, am I right mam?

Waaa... I don't know what to answers please help me..
