When is an argument considered to be a logical fallacy?

A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves" in the construction of an argument. A fallacious argument may be deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is. Some fallacies are committed intentionally to manipulate or persuade by deception, while others are committed unintentionally due to carelessness or ignorance. Lawyers acknowledge that the extent to which an argument is sound or unsound depends on the context in which the argument is made.

Fallacies are commonly divided into "formal" and "informal". A formal fallacy can be expressed neatly in a standard system of logic, such as propositional logic while an informal fallacy originates in an error in reasoning other than an improper logical form. Arguments containing informal fallacies may be formally valid, but still fallacious.

Understanding how to get good grades is not even a component of learning. The 4) and 5) options are the only ways to get really involved in the learning process, trying to apply what was learned, or trying to broaden up one's knowledge on a subject.

D). Both discipline and love are necessary in raising a child.


You know it's "D" because his aunt is ruminating on the fact that while she is amused by Tom's scheme to get out of his punishment, she knows that she has to punish/discipline him and "do her duty" by him so he grows up to be a good man.
