CH.10 - Fallacies

A fallacy is a statement or agument that presents itself as reasoned when it is not. Fallacies can be manipulated through language, emotions, and distraction. The fallacy of word ambiguity happens when an argument includes a key word when several meanings are left undefined. Therefore, the reader must assume what meaning was intended. We must not let any argument or statement influence in manipulating our opinion without carefully studying both sides of the situation.
