The document outlines the objectives of a lesson on fallacies in logic and critical thinking, aiming for students to define, differentiate, and provide examples of various fallacy types. It discusses several specific fallacies, including either/or reasoning, equivocation, essentializing, false analogy, free speech, half-truth, guilt by association, just do it, hero busting, and the recognition of flawed heroes. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of identifying and understanding these deceptive arguments to enhance critical thinking skills.

3. WHAT IS A
FALLACY?
Fallacies are fake or deceptive
arguments, arguments that prove
nothing. Fallacies often seem
superficially sound, and they far
too often retain immense
persuasive power even after
being clearly exposed as false.

4. TYPES OF FALLACY
This fallacy occurs when an
argument oversimplifies a
situation by presenting only
two possible outcomes when
there could be more.
EITHER/ OR
REASONING

5. TYPES OF FALLACY
The equivocation fallacy is a common
error in reasoning where the same term
is used in different parts of an argument,
but with different meanings. This creates
confusion or deception because it makes
it seem like the argument is logically
sound when it's actually not.
EQUIVOCATION

6. TYPES OF FALLACY
The essentializing fallacy involves making
broad generalizations about a group of
things or people based on limited or biased
evidence, ignoring the diversity and
individual differences within the group.
ESSENTIALIZING

7. TYPES OF FALLACY
The assumption that two things
share multiple similarities simply
because they have one thing
in common.
FALSE
ANALOGY

8. TYPES OF FALLACY
The concept of free
speech guarantees that
people can express their
opinions without censorship
or government interference.
Free speech protects against
government censorship.
FREE
SPEECH

9. TYPES OF FALLACY
Drawing false conclusions based on a half-truth.
THE HALF TRUTH FALLICY

10. TYPES OF FALLACY
The guilt by association fallacy
is when someone tries to
discredit an idea or a person
by associating them with
something or someone
negative, without providing
valid evidence.
GUILT BY
ASSOCIATION

11. TYPES OF FALLACY
This could refer to a fallacy where
action is urged without a valid
argument, often relying on emotion
or popular opinion instead of logic.
JUST DO IT

12. TYPES OF FALLACY
Typically refers to the act of revealing flaws or
weaknesses in a heroic or idolized figure, often done
to debunk myths or to criticize someone who is
highly regarded by others. It can involve exposing
unethical behavior, hypocrisy, or incompetence in
individuals who are seen as heroes or role models.
HERO BUSTING

13. TYPES OF FALLACY
is a concept that suggests the belief that all
heroes are inevitably flawed or morally
compromised in some way. It's a recognition
that even individuals who are admired for
their achievements or virtues may have
imperfections or make mistakes.
HEROES ALL
