Yeats classifies “passionate intensity” as worse than a “lack of conviction” because <em>A “passionate intensity” for certain ideals can be destructive.</em>

Yeats refers in this poem ,"The Second Coming" , to the consequences of WWI. Therefore, the ideals leading the war are destructive and do a lot of harm with passion. He  says that good people - <em>The bes</em>t - are the ones who do not have any conviction. They are at a loss. They suffer the consequences of the " passionate" war ideals.

In this famous poem, titled "The Second Coming", Yeats criticizes religious passion, in the last verse he declares to now know <em>"That twenty centuries of stony sleep/Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle"</em>, in this passage he makes the same argument as in the question's passage, he criticizes the sleep of ignorance and how it became a nightmare due to passion. Therefore the first option is the right one.

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.

What are the five principal steps to analyzing an argument ?
Degger [83]
In the very, very simplest terms, judging the validity of an argument starts centers around this process:
1) Identify the rhetoric (Lines of Argument) from the actual, formal reasons. Separate the persuasive language from the actual claims to truth and fact.
2) Analyze those reasons (claims to truth and fact) by identifying their logic (often in the Implicit Reasons) and evidence.
3) Test and evaluate the logic and evidence; identify logical errors and ask whether the evidence can and has been tested and objectively, repeatedly, factually verified.
