Discussion Prompt
Once you learn the names of the major logical fallacies, you will probably start noticing them all over the place, including in advertisements, movies, TV shows, and everyday conversations. This can be both fascinating and frustrating, but it can certainly help you to avoid certain pitfalls in reasoning that are unfortunately very common. This exercise gives you a chance to practice identifying fallacies as they occur in daily life.
Prepare: Read through Chapter 7 of the course text, paying special attention to learning the names of common fallacies, biases, and rhetorical tricks.
Reflect: Search through common media sources looking for examples of fallacies. Some common places to find fallacies include advertisements, opinion pieces in news media, and arguments about politics, religion, and other controversial issues. You may also notice fallacies in your daily life.
Write: Present three distinct informal logical fallacies you have discovered in these types of sources or in your life. Make sure to identify the specific fallacy committed by each example. Explain how the fallacies were used and the context in which they occurred. Finally, explain how the person should have presented the argument in order to avoid committing this logical error.
Read the fallacies presented by your classmates and analyze the reasoning that they have presented. Respond in a way that furthers the discussion. For example, you might comment on any of the following types of questions: Have ever seen or fallen for similar fallacies in your own life? Are any of the cases presented also instances of some other type of fallacy? Is there a sense in which the reasoning might not be fallacious in some cases? What can people do to avoid falling for such fallacies in the future?
(Question 2 200-300 words)
This discussion is a forum in which you get to discuss logic as it relates to current events. Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review Chapters 7 and 8 in your textbook.

In this chapter, Collins begins the process of identifying and further developing from the research those unique factors and variables that differentiated the good and great companies. One of the most significant differences, he asserts, is the quality and nature of leadership in the firm. Collins initially told the research team to downplay the role of top executives in the good-to-great process. It became obvious that there was something different that these leaders did. Collins went on to identify "Level 5 leadership" as a common characteristic of the great companies assessed in the study. By further studying the behaviors and attitudes of so-called Level 5 leaders, Collins found that many of those classified in this group displayed an unusual mix of intense determination and profound humility. Characteristics used to describe these leaders included words like quiet, humble, modest, gracious, and understated. Yet there was also the stoic resolve and an unwavering determination evident. They were low-key executives, rarely appearing in the media, who demonstrated a relentless drive for results. These leaders often had a long-term personal sense of investment in the company and its success, often cultivated through a career-spanning climb up the company’s ranks. The personal ego and individual financial gain were not as important as the long-term benefit of the team and the company. As such, Collins warned of the liability involved in employing a bigger-than-life charismatic leader —personalities often brought in from outside the company or organization by a board seeking a high profile figure. The data suggested that a celebrity CEO brought in to turn around a flailing firm was usually not conducive to fostering the transition from
Good to Great
(Collins, 2001).
Why is this important?
Collins was asked and did not want to use "servant leader" for the Level 5 leader (Lichtenwalner, 2012). The team chose the term, “Level 5 Leadership” over Servant Leadership, in part, for fear readers would misinterpret the concept as “servitude” or “weakness.” In his mind, this position looked like something else. And so a new leadership phrase was born. What is interesting is that many but not all of the leaders profiled had a faith background. Lichtenwalner, (2012) in his research suggests that Servant Leadership is a key aspect of Level 5 Leadership. But perhaps it is not the technique but the heart and faith of the leader that had such a signifi.

Contribution
Scope of study
Master students are the main research objects, and the research scope is to investigate Chinese master students.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The conclusion of this paper is based on the principle of Aaker (1991) model.
It can be said that customers' attitude towards brands has an important impact on brand assets (Choi, Parsa, Sigala, & Putrevu, 2009).
Thwaites et al. (2012) found that when consumers' perception of brand cognition is positive, their purchase intention of brand will also be positive.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand loyalty
The study found that the creative consumption behavior of customers has a positive effect on the cultivation of brand loyalty, and the brand equity associated with high brand loyalty of consumers is higher than that of other brands (Atilgan, Aksoy, & Akinci, 2005).
Brand awareness
According to the research, when customers‘ brand awareness is enhanced and they have a certain understanding of brand awareness, the brand equity will also be further enhanced,It can be said that there is a significant influence relationship between brand awareness and brand equity (Pouromid & Iranzadeh, 2012).
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand image
Most consumers will choose products with good brand image and feel that such products are of relatively high quality (Rubio, Oubina, & Villasenor, 2014).
Relevant studies, such as Faircloth et al. (2001), Rubio et al. (2014), and Vahie and Paswan (2006), have confirmed the positive influence of brand image on brand equity.
Brand equity is the added value of a product or a service, which mainly reflects the customer's evaluation and use of the brand, and also reflects the competitive advantage, price advantage and profitability brought by the brand to the enterp.

You will act as a critic for some of the main subjects covered i.docxMargaritoWhitt221
You will act as a critic for some of the main subjects covered in the humanities. You will conduct a series of short, evaluative critiques of film, philosophy, literature, music, and myth. You will respond to five different prompts, and each response should include an analysis of the topics using terminology unique to that subject area and should include an evaluation as to why the topic stands the test of time. The five prompts are as follows:
1:
Choose a film and offer an analysis of why it is an important film, and discuss it in terms of film as art. Your response should be more than a summary of the film.
2:
Imagine you had known Plato and Aristotle and you had a conversation about how we
fall in love
. Provide an overview of how Plato would explain falling in love, and then provide an overview of how Aristotle might explain falling in love.
3:
Compare and contrast the two poems below:
LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
I love another, and yet I hate myself;
I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of my grief.
Petrarch
After great pain a formal feeling comes—
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
And yesterday—or centuries before?
The feet mechanical go round
A wooden way
Of ground or air or ought
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment like a stone.
This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived
As freezing persons recollect
The snow—
First chill, then stupor, then
The letting go
Emily Dickinson
4:
Compare and contrast these two pieces of music: see files attached below
Beethoven’s Violin Romance No. 2
Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag
5:
Explain in classical terms why a modern character is a hero. Choose from either Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, or Ender Wiggins.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The conclusion of this paper is based on the principle of Aaker (1991) model.
It can be said that customers' attitude towards brands has an important impact on brand assets (Choi, Parsa, Sigala, & Putrevu, 2009).
Thwaites et al. (2012) found that when consumers' perception of brand cognition is positive, their purchase intention of brand will also be positive.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand loyalty
The study found that the creative consumption behavior of customers has a positive effect on the cultivation of brand loyalty, and the brand equity associated with high brand loyalty of consumers is higher than that of other brands (Atilgan, Aksoy, & Akinci, 2005).
Brand awareness
According to the research, when customers‘ brand awareness is enhanced and they have a certain understanding of brand awareness, the brand equity will also be further enhanced,It can be said that there is a significant influence relationship between brand awareness and brand equity (Pouromid & Iranzadeh, 2012).
LITERATURE REVIEW
Brand image
Most consumers will choose products with good brand image and feel that such products are of relatively high quality (Rubio, Oubina, & Villasenor, 2014).
Relevant studies, such as Faircloth et al. (2001), Rubio et al. (2014), and Vahie and Paswan (2006), have confirmed the positive influence of brand image on brand equity.
Brand equity is the added value of a product or a service, which mainly reflects the customer's evaluation and use of the brand, and also reflects the competitive advantage, price advantage and profitability brought by the brand to the enterp.

LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
I love another, and yet I hate myself;
I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of my grief.
Petrarch
After great pain a formal feeling comes—
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
And yesterday—or centuries before?
The feet mechanical go round
A wooden way
Of ground or air or ought
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment like a stone.
This is the hour of lead
Remembered if outlived
As freezing persons recollect
The snow—
First chill, then stupor, then
The letting go
Emily Dickinson

· The “Red Herring” Fallacy (Links to an external site.)
· The “Straw Man” Fallacy (Links to an external site.)
· What Is a Fallacy? (Links to an external site.)
Discussion Prompt
Once you learn the names of the major logical fallacies, you
will probably start noticing them all over the place, including in
advertisements, movies, TV shows, and everyday conversations.
This can be both fascinating and frustrating, but it can certainly
help you to avoid certain pitfalls in reasoning that are
unfortunately very common. This exercise gives you a chance to
practice identifying fallacies as they occur in daily life.
Prepare: Read through Chapter 7 of the course text, paying
special attention to learning the names of commo n fallacies,
biases, and rhetorical tricks.
Reflect: Search through common media sources looking for
examples of fallacies. Some common places to find fallacies
include advertisements, opinion pieces in news media, and
arguments about politics, religion, and other controversial
2. issues. You may also notice fallacies in your daily life.
Write: Present three distinct informal logical fallacies you have
discovered in these types of sources or in your life. Make sure
to identify the specific fallacy committed by each example.
Explain how the fallacies were used and the context in which
they occurred. Finally, explain how the person should have
presented the argument in order to avoid committing this logical
error.
Read the fallacies presented by your classmates and analyze the
reasoning that they have presented. Respond in a way that
furthers the discussion. For example, you might comment on
any of the following types of questions: Have ever seen or
fallen for similar fallacies in your own life? Are any of the
cases presented also instances of some other type of fallacy? Is
there a sense in which the reasoning might not be fallacious in
some cases? What can people do to avoid falling for such
fallacies in the future?
(Question 2 200-300 words)
This discussion is a forum in which you get to discuss logic as
it relates to current events. Prior to beginning work on this
discussion, review Chapters 7 and 8 in your textbook.
Discussion Prompt
Logic and critical thinking are highly relevant to the events we
see in the world around us. This discussion gives you a chance
to share an example. Start by selecting an event that is going on
in the world right now. It could be something in the news,
something you have learned about from science, technology, an
academic field, or even something important and relevant that is
going on in your life. It should be an issue that allows for
different perspectives (there are many ways to define
“perspectives” … they could be about whether the thing is true,
good, real, important, being done in the right way, etc.).
In your post,
· Share a source (or sources) that addresses or explains the
issue/topic/event (you do not have to use scholarly sources
here).
3. · Share an argument on each side of the issue or explain the two
different perspectives.
· Evaluate the reasoning surrounding this topic. Address
questions such as the following:
· Are the competing positions clear?
· Do the two positions/perspectives actually contradict each
other?
· Are the premises of the arguments strongly supported by
evidence?
· Do the arguments use good reasoning?
· Are any fallacies or biases committed by either side?
· Why do people hold the different positions/perspectives?
· How might either (or both) sides express their perspectives
more effectively?
· Evaluate the rhetoric that surrounds this topic: Address
questions such as the following: Are people being civil and fair
minded in how they address the issue? How might one strive for
greater fairness, objectivity, and civility in how we address this
kind of topic? If we did so, would society be more likely to
make progress on issues such as this?
A note about controversy and civility: Many of the topics that
may come up in this forum will be controversial in nature.
Understandably, students will have very different perspectives
on them. In order to learn from each other, to avoid creating
contention, keep in mind the following: It is not necessary to
represent your own views here. You are welcome to present the
arguments on both sides of the issue without taking sides
yourself. This will allow students to talk about the arguments
(rather than trying to prove each other wrong). If you do present
your own views, make sure to be highly respectful of the
feelings and perspectives of those with different views as you
do so. Civility is an essential part of how we learn from each
other.
4. Final Exam: Instruction
Note that the following jobs and companies are generally
fictional and, as in real life, there are many right answers.
I expect that you will each have your own version of a good
answer and focus for the questions. This is an attempt to
emulate the real world.
Please work on it on your own, academic integrity expectations
still apply. Reference any resources that you use or quote.

Developmentally Appropriate Practices in Preschool
Today, what each child need are strategies to teach that will
consider the ballooning population of children who converse in
a language other than English in the United States. Thus, the
6. appropriate developmental practice (DAP) promotes the
importance of early childhood education for improved learning
progressions amongst preschool children (Neuman, Copple, &
Bredekamp, 2000). There are three approaches to help these
learners achieve their goals; language classroom, bilingual
classroom, and English language classroom. According to
available literature, dual language learners stand to benefi t from
participation in high-quality preschool. However, in States like
California, dual language learners’ enrolment in preschool is
very low compared to non-dual language learners. According to
Nunan (1999), the second language learning process is not
quick; learners have to attend classes for around six months
because the whole process can only be effective after the sixth
month. The big question is, do dual language learners stand a
chance to benefit from participation in high-quality preschool?
Supporting claim
First, the answer will be yes. Neuman et al. are on point while
stating that DAP promotes the importance of early childhood
education and improved learning amongst preschool children,
and this will be the first premise. Secondly, there are even three
different approaches adopted for different classes to ensure this
is achieved. Although America enjoys higher literacy rates,
society expects virtually every child to benefit from education,
whether English speaking or dual language user. This assertion
is all-inclusive, meaning not only English speaking but also
dual language learners stand equal chances of benefiting from
preschool learning. In other words, DAP promotes the
importance of preschool education for all children; dual
language learners benefit, and every learner benefits too. From
this statement, it is evident that the truth of its premise
guarantees the truth of its conclusion, thus a valid argument in a
standard form.
In evaluating this reasoning, it can be concluded that it is a
formal kind of reasoning. As Hardy et al. (2015) put it, formal
reasoning is used to evaluate and examine the logical
relationship between the conclusion and supporting assertions.
7. Therefore, since the conclusion has been determined by
establishing the truth of the supporting premises, then the
argument is formal reasoning which is deductive in nature.
Formal reasoning is deductive in nature. In simple terms, as
argued above, any conclusion of a valid formal argument goes
in line with the premises and in its conclusion produces no new
information but reconstructs what is already known into a new
proclamation of the same information. Therefore, dual language
learners stand to benefit from participation in high-quality
preschool because DAP promotes the importance of early
childhood education for improved learning progressions
amongst preschool children.
Opposing side
On the opposing side, our main topic question can still be
subjected to a lot of critics. Consider the statement once again,
“dual language learners stand to benefit from participation in
high-quality preschool." This can mean only dual language
learners stand chances of benefiting from high-quality preschool
learning. However, the assertion by Neuman, Copple, &
Bredekamp (2000) that, “DAP promotes the importance of early
childhood education for improved learning progressions
amongst preschool children” makes the conclusion invalid
because DAP's early childhood activities are all-inclusive and
consider all children both dual speaking and English speaking
learners. Secondly, there are three approaches to help different
learners achieve their goals. There is a language classroom, a
bilingual classroom, and an English language classroom. This
means that there is no single child is sidelined with this
program. The establishment of different classes ensures that no
learner is left behind. Third, in States like California, dual
language learners' enrolment in preschool is very low compared
to non-dual language learners. The essence of this is that the
majority are going to benefit from this program for English
learners. Lastly, according to Nunan (1999), the second
language learning process is not quick and takes longer before
learners can adapt to it. Therefore, learners are required to
8. attend classes for around six months because the whole process
can only be effective after the sixth month. How then can they
stand a chance of benefiting more compared to others?
Although this argument was intended to be true, all the premises
that led to its conclusion are not true. For any argument to be a
sound argument, then validity is necessary. The point is DAP
provides equal opportunity to all learners, and all participants
will automatically benefit. Since the conclusion doesn't qualify,
and all three of the premises are not true, then the statement is
invalid with misguided reasoning. Most researchers will also
term this kind of reasoning misguided. There exist
approximately four theories on how to determine whether a
conclusion follows from the premises. In this context, though it
was intended to be true, the argument is invalid according to
formal logic because it only addresses the probability of the
truth of the premises and the conclusion. Therefore, dual
language learners stand to benefit from participation in high-
quality preschool. This statement contradicts the assertion that
the appropriate developmental practice promotes the importance
of early childhood education for improved learning progressions
amongst all preschool children. The benefit is for all preschool
learners.

Inductive Argument: Developmentally Appropriate Practice in
Preschool
An argument is said to be an inductive argument when the
arguer intends to make it strong enough but not necessarily
valid that if the premises were to be accurate, then it would be
unlikely that the conclusion is false. In other words, the
10. strength of an inductive argument depends on the degree, as
opposed to the deductive argument. For example,
“According to available literature, “alldual language learners
stand to benefit from participation in high-quality preschool
(Nunan, 1999).”However, in States like California, dual
language learners’ enrolment in preschool is very low compared
to non-dual language learners.”
According to the arguer, all dual language learners are set to
benefit from high-quality preschool. He is confident that dual
language learners will benefit from preschool. Such certainty is
what makes this argument inductive. The same statement is also
intended to be valid, and that is what qualifies it as a deductive
argument. Now having said so, let’s look at the statement again.
“alldual language learners stand to benefit from participation
in high-quality preschool” inductive logic is, preschool learners
are bilingual. Even if the premises are true, the inductive
reasoning will still allow the conclusion to be false or invalid.
Our conclusion in the example gives us an invalid conclusion,
although the arguer's intention was to make it strong. This is
inductive reasoning. However, the argument does not satisfy the
logical conclusion because not all preschool learners are dual
language learners.
The statement can be classified further according to its strength.
“alldual language learners stand to benefit from parti cipation in
high-quality preschool” The conclusion of the matter may not
be true, but the certainty of the arguer makes it a strong
inductive argument because he has given a strong reason to
believe the conclusion that dual language learners will surely
benefit from preschool learning. This is how to differentiate
between strong and weak inductive arguments.
