Logic, Facts
and Appeal
CHIEANN A. ESTRADA, SST I

26. How are you going to sell someone a
product you know nothing about?
What are you going to do to convince
someone of what you are talking about?

31. Now, try to answer the following
questions:
• In which of the commercials are
you most convinced?
• What makes the commercial
convincing? If not, what‘s wrong
with them?
• In the first commercial, is there
any connection with the tag line
and the situation?

32. Now, try to answer the following
questions:
• In the second commercial, are
you convinced to buy the
products more than you‘re
moved with the story it
presents?
• In the third commercial, is there
an evidence supporting the
claim that the product is the
best?

33. A fallacy is the use of invalid or faulty
reasoning in the construction of an
argument. By appearing to be better
than it really is, a fallacious argument
may be misleading. Fallacies may be
committed intentionally or
unintentionally to manipulate or
persuade by deception.

34. Fallacy – a mistaken
belief, especially one
based on unsound
argument

35. 1. Faulty logic is a kind of
persuasive technique having
fault or imperfect reasoning or
sound judgment. The idea goes
around and around

36. Example:
Claire is an eloquent
speaker because she
speaks so well

37. Example:
The cause of poverty is
unemployment.

38. 2. Unsupported fact is not
upheld by evidence or facts;
unsubstantiated
(unconfirmed).

39. Example:
Lucbanins are friendlier
than Tayabenses.

40. Example:
Students in the higher
section are more
talented than in the
lower section.

41. 3. An emotional appeal is a
method of persuasion
appealing to both the brain and
the heart.

42. Example:
A fast food commercial, the store manager
is sharing her journey as an employee of
the company for the past 20 years. Then
at the last part of the video, she says, “I
can’t think of a job more fulfilling than
this.”

43. Example:
An organization that shows the
aftermath of the typhoon just
before asking the people to
donate money.

45. It is important to recognize fallacy in an
argument and critically determine the
type used such as faulty logic,
unsupported facts, and emotional appeal,
so that we can identify what to believe or
not and state our reasons why we have
come up with the decision made.

or wife. Therefore, everyone should
develop a good self-concept.

52. 2. Students who take physics

like all of them.”
