What are Logical Fallacies in your own words. don't lookup google definition

quester [9]

Answer:

A logical fallacy is a mistaken belief to the effect that inferences having a certain structure are valid. Put another way, a logical fallacy is a belief in the legitimacy of what is in fact an illegitimate rule of inference. As the examples below indicate, logical fallacies are sometimes a reflection of mere prejudice and in other cases they embody actual ratiocinative shortcomings.

Explanation:

Here are some examples:

(1) People will often accept what people in authority, even if the data clearly indicates that they're wrong. If an economist from Harvard weighs in on an issue and homeless person weighs in on that same issue, the economist will be believed and the homeless person will be ridiculed, even if the data makes it very clear that the homeless person is right. (This is known as the 'fallacy of authority.' )

(2) People tend judge others by their words, not their deeds, with the result that a grouchy person who does good is seen as evil, whereas an evil person who pays lip-service to virtue is seen as good.

(3) People assume that what they are not familiar with is impossible. Smith says that his girlfriend has symptoms XYZ and Jones, not having ever personally seen anybody exhibiting those symptoms, refuses on that basis alone to believe Jones.

(4) People have some tendency to assume that entailments are 'convertible', i.e. that if q follows from p, then p also follows from q ('if Smith was decapitated, then he died; so given that he died, he must have been decapitated'). This known as 'affirming the consequent.'

(5) It is assumed that confirmation is transitive, i.e. that if p confirms q and q confirms r, then p confirms. But this is not so. Smith's being a crime boss is evidence of his having considerable, and Smith's having considerable wealth is evidence of his having some kind of legitimate employment; but Smith's being a crime boss is not evidence of his having legitimate employment.

When people commit fallacies 1-3, their doing so tends to have an emotional basis; they want to believe that authority-figures are good people, that people are honest, and that what is strange is impossible. When people commit fallacies 4 and 5, their doing is less a reflection of emotionally rooted prejudices than of sheer lack of acumen. In any case, all of these fallacies are routinely committed.

PART A: Which of the following statements best identifies the central theme of the text? A Love is unpredictable; our expectatio

Lisa [10]

The question doesn’t mention the name of the text; however, assuming that all the options best indicate “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin, the following can be said about it:

The correct answer is: B. Despite the expectations placed on them, women require the same freedoms and intellectual stimulation as men.

Explanation:

The text, along with the protagonist, Edna Pontellier, re-evaluates the expectations of being a woman in different roles (woman, wife, mother, daughter, lover, friend, sister, person, etc.) in view of being an individual self, and overturns them by reinstating the individual desire for freedom which does not see gender. This can be understood through various instances from the text, as follows:

After being wrongfully reprimanded by her husband for not taking adequate care of their child, Edna suffers “An indescribable oppression.” She feels neither guilt nor anger, but an “oppression”, which indicates forceful subjugation, a consciousness of lack of freedom; leading to her “anguish” which was the indignation resulting from the former (ch-3).

In chapter 36, Edna tells Robert that, “we women learn so little of life on the whole,” expressing in this statement the scarce opportunities for exploration and intellectual stimulation available to women as compared to men. Both Mr. Pontellier and Robert travel to other places throughout the novel, a need as well as a luxury that Edna didn’t possess. Her persistent and clear refusal to Mr. Pontellier’s repeated insistence on her not staying out of the house (ch-11), her declaration to Robert that no one possessed her (ch-36), her decision to reside in her own separate house (ch-26), and her restless exploration for intellectual stimulation in the society around her, were acts of boldness and defiance, among many others, that were condemned by the society, especially for women.

Gradually, “Mrs. Pontellier was beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being, and to recognize her relations as an individual to the world within and about her,” a realisation whose evolved form and harsh consequences are showcased in the character of Mademoiselle Reisz (Ch-6).

Alternatively, one can also arrive at this answer by eliminating other options. Both the nature and realities of love and marriage are explored in the novel, but as companion themes contributing to the central one. On the other hand, growing up being a painful process is explored through Edna within the context of her identity as a woman, and the freedoms and the restrictions that that identity brought about. Hence, B is the correct answer.

Food for thought: Despite B being the correct answer out of the given options, it is worth mentioning that the option itself in one way limits the freedom of women by comparing and in a way limiting their needs to those of men, and not individuals.
