English
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A fallacy can best be defined as a false or a mistaken idea, or the use of faulty reasoning. "Thank you for smoking" movie, has some fallacies in it i will be discussing below.

Explanation:

The first fallacy i noticed in "Thank you for smoking" is when  Nick Naylor's son's mother's boyfriend tells Nick "I hope you are providing Joey with a smoke-free environment." and Nick replies "I'm his father, you're just the guy_his mother." This is a negative statement as Nick attacked Polly's boyfriend personally because He is not the real parent of Joey, which is a good example of Ad Hominem.

This film is a dark comedy. Nick Naylor who is a successful lobbyist, has sense of logos in his arguments and this logos is centered primarily on logical fallacies

Name some pros and cons about personality disorder
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

In general terms, a personality disorder means that the person doesn't get things the same way we usually do, in other words, that person has a rigid and unhealthy pattern of thinking, functioning and behaving.

That said, some of the - let's say - symthoms can be: a pervasive distrust and suspicion of others and their motives , unjustified belief that others are trying to harm or deceive him, suspicion of the loyalty or trustworthiness of others , hesitancy to confide in others due to unreasonable fear that others will use the information against him/her, among several other things according to the type of disorder, which they are several, and with proper care; they might become a tool eventually, I wouldn´t say they are pros per se.
