Toils of Trouble in Election 2012: John Barrow and Lee
Anderson
Walk into any room where people are conversing, and
more than likely, someone will be discussing the current
election of 2012. This election year has been dubbed by
popular media and the Chief Political Correspondent for Good
Morning America-George Stephanopolous as being one of the
fiercest among candidates they have covered in a long, long
time.” [footnoteRef:1] There are candidates who attack each
other, not only based on their political views, but also on their
moral turpitude, character and party affiliations connecting
them with other elected officials. Both candidates are guilty of
this practice. John Barrow states that Lee Anderson stands for
this negative topic while almost simultaneously, Lee Anderson
retaliates with negative statements about John Barrow on the

4. same issue. This process has become an extreme turnaround
from the way in which the election process was intended-honest
and fair. Comment by Thom: Inadequate citation. Comment by
Thom: How do we know this is the way the process was
intended? [1: http://abcnews.com/george ]
However, given the negative sides of electing ones statesman,
congressman or President for that matter, it is a responsibility
that all citizens should participate. In respecting ones
responsibility to participate in electing an official, it is difficult
to know the truth. Every candidate has their own truth, which
may be different from the real, actual truth. The continuous
arguments between Congressman John Barrow and Candidate
Lee Anderson who hopes to unseat Mr. Barrow have bombarded
the television networks with all sorts of horrific claims against
each other. Fundamentally, when one candidate states a claim,
especially in a television commercial, the very next commercial
that follows is the other candidate rebutting the former’s claim.
These commercials as portrayed by both candidates encompass
the second law of logic which is the Law of Non-Contradiction.
The Law of Non-Contradiction says that “something cannot both
be and not be at the same time and in the same
sense/relationship.” [footnoteRef:2]Class Notes John Barrow
suggests to voters that Lee Anderson is not a friend to the
taxpayer, because he Anderson supported an increase in Georgia
Power electricity rates for customers. Lee Anderson says he is
indeed a friend to the taxpayer because he helped to support
Georgia Power. This is a logical deductive argument that is
both valid and sound, as it can be deduced from the information
indicated on their websites and the Augusta Chronicle
newspaper.[footnoteRef:3] It is valid because the premises that
both Anderson and Barrow rest their argument on the bases that
they are in fact true. However, if one were to look closer at the
intended meaning of the term friend, there could be fault within
the interpretation of the term itself. In other words, the term
“friend” can be somewhat ambiguous as it depends on the

5. intended understanding of the word by the receiver. If it were a
case of term ambiguity, then, this would be a Fallacy of
Equivocation. “To this degree, is a politician really a
constituent’s friend or just a person fulfilling a job obligation”?
Comment by Thom: Only put the footnote citation in the
paper, not any other text. Comment by Thomas Burrus: Where
do you find this in the Augusta Chronicle specifically; it is far
too general of a citation. [2: Logic In- Class Notes and
Material, Fall2012] [3: Augusta Chronicle newspaper]
Politicians commit many sins against those things that are right
and good. Of the many political sins committed by both
politicians in this race, and there were many, the issue most
sensitive to voters, who are Democrats, are the attempts to
downgrade John Barrow through his affiliation with President
Obama. Lee Anderson misrepresents several statements about
John Barrow’s support of Obama. As determined in a few class
discussions, Lee Anderson’s actions are examples of not one but
two fallacies-Argumentum Ad Hominem the Straw Man Fallacy.
Given the Argumentum Ad Hominem Fallacy, Anderson takes
his argument to the man or people in this case. His first
premise suggests that John Barrow supports Obama Care.
Obama Care does not work; therefore, voters should not pay any
attention to what John Barrow has to say about Medicare as he
should be voted out, because John Barrow is affiliated with
President Obama. This is an example of deductive reasoning.
However, it is an invalid argument, because it is possible for
the argument to be false. There are valid reasons for voters to
endorse John Barrow. Voters should pay attention to John
Barrow because he is a highly educated man, with a great deal
of experience in many areas as he has served on various
committees. Also, as the argument stands, this is not a sound
argument, since its premise is not true. To address Anderson’s
blatant misrepresentation of John Barrow’s views, also known
as the Straw Man Fallacy, again, Anderson uses an attack on
Barrow’s affiliation with the President to influence voters.

6. Anderson deliberately tries to lead voters in believing that John
Barrow is going to make extensive cuts in the defense budget.
Here again he based another premise on the fact that John
Barrow is closely affiliated with President Obama. He creates a
false version of John Barrow’s projects and then refutes them.
In his television advertisements, he refers to John Barrow as
President Obama’s congressman. He further tries to degrade
John Barrow by saying that John Barrow is two-faced. This
further misrepresents John Barrow’s character to voters and
gives a false version about this politician. By their very nature
are these arguments made by Lee Anderson against John Barrow
fallacious. Neither of the informal fallacies hold true in this
election against John Barrow- the Straw Man nor the
Argumentum Ad Hominem. It is certain that Lee Anderson
surely has not been the first person guilty of logical fallacies, as
it is equally certain that he will not be the last. However, for
voters’ sake in the future, the rules need to change so that
politician can be held accountable for those things they say
knowing they are fallacious to just get elected. There is always
the question after any major election, and the same applies for
Election 2012,”How do politician take back the awful things
they said about each other and get to work performing the duties
they were elected to perform?” Comment by Thom: There is
also an argumentum ad logicam in here.

provide a quotation that is five lines or longer (and you should,
for the most part, refrain from doing so), be sure to format it
this way: do NOT put it in quotation marks in this instance;
instead indent the entire quotation, single space it, and
nevertheless be sure to insert the footnote reference at the end
be sure to put the citation itself down below (in this case, this is
a reference that has already been used in this assignment, so last

Introduction
At some point in your career, you will encounter a multicultural
conflict or issue. It may be a conflict with a supervisor or an
issue with one of your colleagues or clients. You may
experience hate speech being used in the professional work
setting or feel marginalized because of one of your cultural
identities. A conflict may involve an entire agency or
institution.

12. In this assignment, you will:
· Envision a multicultural conflict that could potentially occur
within your psychology specialization. The story of this conflict
may be real or imagined, but it will involve your actual cultural
identities, which you analyzed in the Unit 1 assignment, Self-
Reflection Using the Hays ADDRESSING Model. This conflict
will also involve one or more other persons that you could
encounter in your work who have several points of cultural
difference with yourself. It may also involve an entire agency or
institution.
· Analyze the multicultural issues that are present and consult
scholarly literature to develop strategies or techniques that you
can use to navigate the conflict. This assignment will help you
think critically about some of the uncomfortable situations that
you may encounter in your career as a psychologist, and prepare
you to respond effectively in such situations.
This assignment will be a PowerPoint presentation of a case
study that could be given in a professional context. A case study
is an in-depth report and analysis of events, activities, or
processes involving one or more individuals or a situation. Case
studies are examined in academic contexts to prepare learners
for the challenges they will face in professional practice.
Working psychologists continue to confer with colleagues on
case studies to improve their professional competencies.
While actual case studies are based on factual reports, in this
assignment you can create a simulated or fictional case study. If
you like, you may include elements drawn from actual events.
Instructions
To complete this assignment:
· Imagine a simulated or fictional case study, concerning a
cultural conflict between yourself, working in your area of
specialization, and some person or persons, agency, or
institution. Several points of cultural difference must exist
between you and the others involved in this conflict. While your
case may be fictional, it must be entirely believable and
realistic.

13. · Download and use the Multicultural Case Study Template
from the Resources. Do not submit a paper for this assignment.
Papers will not be graded. You will complete this assignment by
replacing all language that is enclosed with brackets […] in the
PowerPoint with your own words.
. You may wish to enhance the design of the presentation to
make it more effective. For guidance on PowerPoint design,
read the optional resource, "PowerPoint Presentation Design
Suggestions" and view Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint
Presentations.
. For guidance in the basics of using PowerPoint, see the Basic
Tasks in PowerPoint guides in Resources. If after reviewing this
material, you need more help using PowerPoint, contact your
teaching assistant— seek help early!
Your PowerPoint should include the following:
1. Title slide: On the first slide of the PowerPoint:
· Enter a descriptive title of approximately 5–15 words that
concisely communicates the heart of the case study. It should
stir interest while maintaining professional decorum.
· Enter your name, and a job title and organization that would
fit with your case study. Like the case study itself, these last
two elements may be fictional.
2. Case Study Overview slide: Provide the briefest possible
narrative description of the case situation here. Additional
supporting details and references can be added in the notes
section below the slide. The overview should include:
· The professional setting of the case, based on your psychology
specialization (for example, in treatment, in the classroom, in a
hospital, jail, or community-based setting).
3. Main Points of Cultural Difference slides: On the table
provided, list side by side the main cultural identities from the
Hays model, relevant to the case study conflict, of yourself and
another person, agency, or institution in the case study.
· If more than one person, agency, or institution is involved in
the case, make a copy of this slide for each one, to compare
yourself to all others involved

14. · In the notes section:
· Identify common concerns with each cultural identity. Be
careful to avoid using stereotypes.
· Analyze how cultural differences contributed to the conflict in
this case.
· Identify two relevant biases you have or had, and at least one
strategy for improving your cultural competency around each of
those biases.
4. Best Practices for Working With [Cultural Identity]
slides: Identify a best practice for working with a cultural
identity in this case and cite the source below. Then, briefly
analyze how the best practice could help you navigate this
particular relationship and conflict.
· In the notes section, describe the best practice in more detail,
and elaborate as needed on your analysis of how the best
practice could help you navigate the relationship and conflict.
· Citation requirements: You must cite best practices from at
least three scholarly research articles in this assignment. You
may cite reputable sources from Web sites, books, textbooks,
and assigned resources as well, but these will not count toward
the three required scholarly research references.
· Copy this slide as needed to address each cultural identity in
this case.
5. Conclusion slide: Summarize the main lessons learned in this
case study in a brief bulleted list.
6. References slides: See step 4 for citation requirements. Use
current APA style and formatting guidelines.
Assignment Requirements
· Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract
from the overall message.
· Format: Use the Multicultural Case Study Template provided
in the Resources. Use current APA style and formatting
guidelines as far they are applicable to this assignment.
· References: Three scholarly research articles.
· Length of PowerPoint: A minimum of six slides.
