Q: What are fallacy types? Marks 5:

Answer: There are two Types of Fallacy:

A fallacy that ignore an issue. Changing the subject. In this method of argument the writer tries to divert the audience’s attention from the true issue by presenting evidence that has nothing to do with the argument e.g. the honorable member of the National Assembly is a capable leader. He has a busy family life and prays daily in the area mosque. Circular reasoning. In this the supporting reason is the same as the conclusion. e.g. “Mr. Abid is a great science teacher because he is so wonderful at teaching.” We do not know why Mr. Abid is a great teacher. No real reasons are given – the statement merely repeats itself. iound in everyday conversation as well as in writing. Irony always involves ‘discrepancy’ . Personal attack. This kind of fallacy often occurs in political debate. Here the issue under discussion is ignored and the writer or speaker focuses attention on the opponent’s character. For example “The Honorable Member of National Assembly views on the tax bill are not worthy of consideration. His father also held similar views when he was a member of the assembly”.

A fallacy that over generalize/oversimplify issue. Hasty generalization. This is a very common fallacy. A person who draws a conclusion on the basis of insufficient evidence is making a hasty generalization. The following example will make this amply clear. False cause. You have probably heard some one saying as a joke, “I know there is going to be a dust storm today because I washed my hair”. Now the two events mentioned have no connection whatsoever. Well that was just to tell you how often in life we make such wrong associations – we assume Cause-and-effect situations are not easy to analyze, as people tend to oversimplify them by ignoring other possible causes. To identify an argument using a false cause, look for alternate. False comparison. This is the third type of error in reasoning –when you assume that two things are more alike than they really are. For instance read the following argument: In our village we leave our doors unlocked all the time, so I don’t think its necessary for you in the city to have locks on your front door. To judge whether or not the above statement is a false comparison consider if the two situations are alike. The two situations are not alike-one is in a city where there may be a lack of security. Either-or fallacy. We often assume there are only two sides to a question. Offering only two choices when more actually exist is an eitheror fallacy. (PAGE 104, 105, 106).
