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.

denis23 [38]

The answer is D. all of the above, because while Antigone is the only one to openly defy Creon and disagree with him to his face, she is not the only one who has contempt for his laws. Ismene, Antigone's sister, also disagrees with the law, but she does not act upon it like her sister did. Haemon also disagrees with Creon, his father and Antigone's betrothed, because he honors the laws of the Gods above the laws of man, he does tell his father he ahs heard other people complaining about the edict. In the end, Haemon kills himself for being conflicted about his love and his father, his mother kills herself for losing her son, and Antigone kills herself to avoid being buried alive for disobeying Creon.

Natali5045456 [20]
A woman has to be the house wife and stay home mother who cooks and cleans while the man has to do all the hardwork and make all the money come in.

This may work if both parties agree with this generalisation or ideal but if one disagrees this creates conflict within a marriage. Today our society isn't so fixed on gender roles as they were in the past, at least in America. Marriage rates are also lower than they were in the past.
