This document discusses several types of logical fallacies: slippery slope (banning fast food may lead to banning all restaurants), hasty generalization (canceling one program means the government opposes science advancement), genetic fallacy (questioning someone's fitness as Miss America due to their ethnicity), begging the claim (assuming coal is filthy without evidence), circular argument (claiming someone lied based on their denials), ad hominem (dismissing strategies due to personal attacks rather than merits), and either/or (presenting only two extreme options with no middle ground).

1. Logical fallacies

2. Slippery slope
If we ban fast-food restaurants because
they cause the obesity crisis,
eventually the government will ban all
restaurants, so we should not ban
fast-food restaurants.

3. Hasty generalization
Based on the cancellation of the space program by the
Obama administration, we can tell that this current
government is not interested in the advancement of
science.

4. Genetic fallacy
The selection of Nina Davuluri as Miss
America is not a wise move; how can
a person of Indian descent be the
symbol of America?

5. Begging the claim
Filthy and polluting coal should be
banned.

6. Circular argument
Lance Armstrong is a liar because he
always denies the truth.

7. Ad hominem
Green Peace's strategies aren't
effective because they are all dirty,
lazy hippies.

8. Either/or
“You're either with us or against us,”
former President George W. Bush
said.
