Writing Assignment 3 Prompt Description In this writ.docxambersalomon88660
Writing Assignment 3 Prompt
Description:
In this writing assignment, students will be practicing how to detect rhetoric, bad
definitions, and fallacies. For the given examples, use the files on Blackboard to
determine which rhetorical devices, definitional problems, or fallacies make the examples
irrational, suspect, or unacceptable. The purpose of this assignment is for students to
begin to refine their ability to reject irrational arguments or merely persuasive techniques
by detecting the common modes in which they occur.
Directions:
For the following three sections, perform the tasks as described:
1. For the below examples, list the rhetoric device which you think is most clearly
present.
a. A patriot is a person who is always faithful to the government, the
symbols, and the traditions of America, and will not question them
publicly. So professional athletes who critique and protest these
institutions, traditions, and symbols are unpatriotic and deserve
punishment for dissent.
b. Oh, Senator Cruz doesn’t know how to tweet; that’s what his staffers are
for. So when he watches porn he’s not capable of accidentally tweeting a
like for it. That was one of his godless staffers. He’s a good Christian
politician we can count on, I promise.
c. She is a free spirit, so she might be hard to get in touch with about the
meeting.
d. What kind of pizza should you get? Whichever kind your doctor said
would be best for your high-blood pressure and exercise regiment.
e. A vote for a third party candidate is as politically meaningless as
screaming into a pillow. You might as well just vote for the candidate you
least agree with.
f. Those in fly-over country simply don’t have access to the basic
information they need to make proper assessments of politics.
2. For the following definitions, explain, in just a sentence or two for each, why each
definition is bad (i.e., “It doesn’t meet the criteria of scope, descriptiveness,
non-circularity, clarity, or objectivity because….”):
a. Farm: A farm is a large tract of land which grows crops to sell.
b. War: An evil enterprise in which humans show their innate depravity.
c. Homework: Like filling out hospital forms but without the medical
situation.
d. Sailboat: A watercraft with sails.
3. For each argument below, list which fallacy you think is most clearly present.
a. Mark says that the legal drinking age should be raised to 25, but Mark
drinks like a fish so we shouldn’t accept his claim.
b. Almost every civilization in history has believed that there is some kind of
afterlife, so it can’t be true that there is nothing after death.
c. People always stereotype athletes as unintellectual idiots but they don’t
ever give any reasons for this. Anyone who saw our game last weekend
would agree that our team was full of athletic skill, devotion, hard work,
and teamwork. If you simply give athletes a fair look, you’d realize that
they are not de.
