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

If you were to describe something as indescribable, is it really indescribable?​
beks73 [17]
Yes because “indescribable” isn’t a description.
Explanation: The exact definition of “description” is “give an account in words of (someone or something), including all the relevant characteristics, qualities, or events.”
Therefore the word “indescribable” isn’t describing anything. It’s just saying that you literally cannot do the things to make it describable (account words of quantities, characteristics, or events)

What do these lines from Antigone show about Creon's character?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

The answer is:  3 He has a patriarchal point of view.

In the excerpt from "Antigone," by Sophocles, Creon expresses that the social  system must be controlled and preserved by men. He also underestimates the authority of women and does not think women should rule. As a consequence, he suggests that society must be dominated by the power exercised by the masculine genre.
