English
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]3 years ago

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

Who was the nurturer that injects the smaller twin
Pepsi [2]
Well, if this is from the giver, the boy's father injects the smaller twin. That is why when the giver actually shows the boy what happened during the process, the boy is so distraught. He thought his father was a good person. After that he then realizes that his whole society is messed up and that they kill their own kind if the don't fit in with society.

How has diversity changed over time?
Norma-Jean [14]
Evolution and variety are the outcome of long-term interactions between organisms and their surroundings, as well as the repercussions of those interactions. Species adapt to their habitats through time, and the range of environments available encourages a diversity of organisms that have adapted to them.
