A fallacy is an argument based on unsound reasoning.

Begging the
question is a fallacy in which a claim is made and accepted to be true, but one
must accept the premise to be true for the claim to be true. This is also known
as circular reasoning. Essentially, one makes a claim based on evidence that
requires one to already accept that the claim is true.

God is real because the Bible says so, and the Bible is from God.

Hasty generalization is a type of logical fallacy. A fallacy is an

argument that is based on mistaken reasoning. When one makes a hasty
generalization, he applies a belief to a larger population than he should based
on the information that he has.

Albert has a terrible experience with a girlfriend. He decides that al

girls are mean.

Fallacy occurs when an argument is made using illogical

reasoning. Post hoc is a fallacy where one reasons that since an event
occurred before another, then the first event caused the other. This is not
always the case.

Our basketball team was losing until we all bought new uniform. We
have not lost a game since we got our hottest uniform.

An appeal to pity is a specific type of emotional appeal. An appeal to

pity manipulates someone's feelings of pity or guilt in order to get them to
support a point of view. This type of appeal is a fallacy-an illogical reasoning
pattern. One's emotions have nothing to do with the correctness of an idea or
the value of a product, but argumentative writing and speaking often appeals
to our emotions, such as pity.
 Saying that we support our SSG President, only because he has
recently been diagnosed with cancer.

The fallacy of equivocation occurs when a key term or phrase in an

argument is used in an ambiguous way, with one meaning in one portion of
the argument and then another meaning in another portion of the argument.

I don't see how you can say you're an ethical person. It's so hard to get
you to do anything; your work ethic is so bad.

The fallacy of composition is the fallacy of inferring from the fact that
every part of a whole has a given property that the whole also has that
property. This pattern of argument is the reverse of that of the fallacy of
division. It is not always fallacious, but we must be cautious in making
inferences of this form.

Every song in album lasts less than a minute, therefore the album lasts
less than a minute.

Ad hominem is a Latin word that means against the man. As the

name suggests, it is a literary term that involves commenting on or against an
opponent, to undermine him instead of his arguments.

My opponent suggests that lowering taxes will be a good idea this is

coming from a woman who eats a pint of Ben and Jerrys ice cream
each night!
The fact that the woman loves her ice cream, has nothing to do
with the lowering of taxes, therefore it is irrelevant to the argument.
 An appeal to force is an attempt to persuade using threats. Its Latin
name, argumentum ad baculum, literally means argument with a cudgel.
Disbelief, such arguments go, will be met with sanctions, perhaps physical
abuse; therefore, youd better believe.

If you dont accept that the Sun orbits the Earth, rather than the other
way around, then youll be excommunicated from the Church,
therefore the Sun orbits the Earth, rather than the other way around.

An argumentum ad populum (appeal to the people) argues that If

many people believe something, it must be true. But the popularity of a view
is logically unrelated to its truth, and many extremely popular views of the
past have been utterly false.

Since 88% of the people believed in alien, they must exist.

Goya are the leading chocolate in the Philippines. You should buy
Goya.

A fallacy is a mistake in belief based on an unsound argument; so, an

ignorance fallacy, or Appeal to Ignorance occurs when a person mistakenly
believes something to be true that is not, because he or she does not know
enough about the subject, or ha not bee given enough evidence, to know
otherwise.

No one can actually prove that God exists; therefore God does not
exist.
