What is the slippery slope fallacy?

English
1 answer:
ryzh [129]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Logical fallacy is making invalid conclusions, or, simply put, a flawed argument.

One of such fallacies is a "slippery slope" fallacy, which basically means, making a claim about an event that will start a streak of events ending in, most often, an awful outcome.

In reality, there is no proof, logical connection or reason to believe that this chain of events will really happen, but by assuming so, the person making the fallacy, is giving the counterargument for the original action.

Basically, if A happens, then B will happen. If B happens then C will happen. If C happens then D will happen. D is an awful outcome. So, if we don't want D to happen, then A shouldn't too.

The fallacy in this reasoning is that B isn't necessarily consequence of A, C isn't necessarily consequence of B etc. So claiming that chain of events occurring is logically invalid.

Which two sentences correctly describe elegies?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The first section of an elegy expresses sorrow for the deceased.

The last section of an elegy expresses consolation and comfort.

Explanation:

Elegies are narrative poems written after the death of a person. This poem acts as a means to mourn the death or passing of that person, and acts as a mournful song for the deceased.

Elegies are normally written in such a way that the beginning part expresses the pain and sorrow felt by the speaker at the death of the person. It then moves on to express consolation and comfort towards the end of the poem. Most famous elegies are "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman written for Abraham Lincoln and W.H. Auden's "In Memory of W.B. Yeats".
