Book - Silent Spring

Author - Rachel Carson

Textual evidence -

"This town does not actually exist, but it might easily have a thousand counterparts in America or elsewhere in the world. I know of no community that has experienced all the misfortunes I describe. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know."

Explanation:

Rachel Carson explains about a town with nature's beauty, where plants, animals, birds and human all lived in harmony. Suddenly due to some evil effects, everything changed. Humans, children died to strange sickness. Birds disappeared, hen did not lay eggs, apple trees bear no fruits, rivers and streams dried, fishes died. A white powder showed on the roofs sprayed by people which caused destruction.

Rachel Carson explains further that the town she describes does not actually exist to make the readers understand the effects of the chemicals and insecticides caused mass destruction due to extensive use causing the nature to perish slowly. She insisted on taking necessary steps to notice the changes before it becomes a dark reality.

When something fast moves by you, there's a rush of air that flies by, and this sound and movement of air, mixed with the grinding of the train on the tracks is meant to be represented by the 'r' sound, based on the consonance in the line.

What is a real life example of the slippery slope fallacy? (If possible could you please provide a source as well?)

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A slippery slope fallacy simply has to do with making claims about several events which eventually leads to a bad result in the end.

A good example is the legalization of prostitution. When this is done, there'll be an increase in divorce and this also leads to the breakdown of the family affected. This shows how a series of events led to an awkward outing in the end.
