Identifying Illogical Arguments

Please find an argument to analyze. Be creative! Some suggestions are to use a commercial, letter to the editor (or op/ed piece). Analyze the argument you choose.

What is the main purpose of the argument?
Is it inductive? Deductive?
Are there any fallacies being used? If so, which ones?
Part 2:
Does
the argument align with a philosophical theory or theorist? Choose one

philosophical theory or theorist and explain – from that perspective –

what you would change to make the argument better. Think about the

steps that you could use to improve the argument. For example, if you

pick Socrates as a theorist think of how Socrates would reflect upon and

engage the argument for change.
