The document discusses 10 different types of logical fallacies: ad hominem, bandwagon, snob appeal, appeal to pity, stereotyping, red herring, false authority, non-sequitur, and bandwagon. For each fallacy, an example is provided through an image with a brief description of how the image illustrates that particular fallacy. At the end is a bibliography citing the original sources of the images.

1. Fallacies
BY:

2. AD Hominem
This picture is add hominem
because the protestor is
attacking Liberals and saying
how they are making up Global
Warming. Plus he wants Social
Security to end, and blaming
old people for taking all the
money. He is persuading us to
protest with him, and cheer the
republicans on.

3. Bandwagon
•
This is a bandwagon advertisement
because, McDonalds is using the
numbers of customers they had to
persuade other to come. “If they are
doing it maybe I should do it to”
feeling. They want you to jump on
and do what everyone else is doing
so they could earn more money.
They say “over 99 billion served”
when you think about it, you are like
“wow that’s cool I should also do it”.

4. Snob Appeal
•
This add that Starbucks made is
snob appeal, because they are
telling you when they say “if it’s still
not perfect make sure you’re in
Starbucks”. That they only have the
best and the best is made in
Starbucks it’s persuading you to
come there for the yummiest
coffee. Other coffee shops are not
up to their level at all, and being
really snobby about it.

5. Appeal to Pity
•
In this picture we are seeing a
bunch of kids with no food and
are dirty. So for that they pull at
you “awwww” emotions, like
making you feel bad. Its
persuading you to donate food
for these starving children.

6. Stereotyping
•
This is a very good example
of stereotyping because we
all kinder think like that. Every
country has its own culture
and that we should know that
there is more to it then just a
bunch of non- modernized
Africans, sheep's in Australia,
or tacos in Mexico. This is
persuading us this is how the
world is, there is nothing more
to it, it doesn’t show how fun
or cool the country could be
just how weird we think they
are.

7. Red herring
•
This picture is clearly red herring because
the big chicken attempts to change the
subject after being asked “what evidence
do you have to support such an
assertion?” and he replied by not being
straight forward and changed the subject.
He changed the subject by “look at how I
am standing on one leg” he tried to
persuade the little chicken by trying to
convince him there really is a Flying
Spaghetti Monster.

8. False Authority
•
This picture is a false authority
because, Marilyn is famous but
she is not a doctor or anything
like that so she cant have the
authority to recommend a type of
shampoo. But she is famous and
so they use her to persuade you
that a very famous person uses
it therefore you should to, and
want you to buy it.

9. Snob Appeal
This picture is snob appeal because
its a Nike product, and what the
Nike Corparation wants to persuade
people to think if they buy Nike
products that they will be better then
everyone else. This picture shows
women that are apsolutey perfect in
shape, and that “Nike did it all” that
they are the best of the best, and
you should buy these products.

10. Non-Sequitur
•
This is a non-sequitur because the
conclusion doesn’t match the intro.
First we all agree that 2 is a number
right? Ok then 1 is also a number
also right? Ok but whey would 2=1.
just because they are numbers that
not true. Therefore they are trying to
persuade us to agree with them.

11. Bandwagon
•
The Apple products are a total
bandwagon, because everyone
has them then you should have
them to. Everywhere we are we
see kids with iPhones and iPods
and more apple products. They
are trying to persuade us to think
like them and that we should get
those products.
