In an essay of at least 600 words, address the following:
• Write an original example of a fallacy in each of the four categories mentioned above that you might commit in your upcoming persuasive speech. For example, say your persuasive speech topic was “The local community garden has improved the neighborhood.” You might commit a Post hoc fallacy if you claimed, “Residents say they’re happy so it must be because of the new community garden.”
• How could you change each of these fallacies to no longer be a fallacy — to make it an example of sound reasoning? What additional information would you need?
• Which of the fallacies are you most likely to commit in your upcoming speech and why? Explain your answer along with why you think you are prone to this fallacy.
