Answers:

  1. E) Post Hoc
  2. B) Slippery slope
  3. D) Popularity
  4. C) Fear
  5. A) False Dichotomy

===================================================

Explanations:

Part 1

The term "post hoc" has the longer name "post hoc ergo propter hoc". It's a Latin phrase that translates to "after this, therefore because of this". An example of a fallacy like is: "I turned on the sprinklers, then it started to rain outside. Therefore I caused it to rain". Clearly the sprinklers have no connection to the clouds on whether they release water or not. It was simply a coincidence the two events happened together like that.

------------------

Part 2

A slippery slope is when you start with one premise and then work your way in a chain reaction through more events. Those events may be directly connected or very loosely indirectly connected. Also, these events tend to get worse and worse as time goes on. An example of this would be a Direct TV ad that has this script "if the cable goes out, you get stressed. If you get stressed, you go on vacation. If you go on vacation, you get bitten by something exotic and your face swells up. Don't let your face swell up and ditch cable". I'm paraphrasing the ad. But the idea is that the fact the cable goes out leads to the person's face being swollen.

------------------

Part 3

The term "bandwagon fallacy" is also applicable here. Just because everyone says something is true doesn't always make it so. During the medieval period, people thought the sun revolved around the earth, but instead it's the other way around. So if someone said "the sun revolves around the earth because everyone else agrees", then they would be using a bandwagon fallacy. You would need to go out and do scientific studies and observations to prove the claim.

------------------

Part 4

Fear is a good motivator, as well as appealing to anger as well. Strong emotions like this tend to connect with people. It's likely due to just how people's brains are wired. There may be more factors as well. An example would be "vote for me or else my opponent will start another foreign war".  

------------------

Part 5

A dichotomy is the idea of having 2 choices only. For example, a coin flip has 2 sides it could land on. A false dichotomy is where the person introduces only two choices for the audience to pick. This gives the audience some sense of interaction and choice. However, false dichotomy arguments tend to make one choice a very bad one while the other choice is either good or tolerable.

An example of this would be any time a political leader states "You're either with us or you're against us" usually when it involves some lead up to a war, or a war is already going on. The two sides "with us" and "against us" aren't the only possible options. It's possible to be neutral and not to be involved at all.

erik [133]

Answer:

Dear classmates, today I am here to talk about the importance of keeping our environment clean.

We may not realize that we are constantly interacting with it. We sit on the grass in a park, under a tree during the hot summer days, we swim in its rivers, we enjoy the fresh air when we ride our cars with the windows down, or after the last class of the day.

The landscapes and places that nature offers us are mesmerizing, and we are thankful to have them in our lives since they help us to relax, they provide us in many ways, and they make us healthier. Owing to these reasons, we must keep our environment clean. Otherwise, polluted air, water, and soil will deteriorate our health and destroy the habitat of thousands of animals.

We won't be able to swim in rivers and enjoy days under the comforting shade of a tree. Even more, life will stop for the majority of us since our mental and physical health will deteriorate without a clean environment.

Is this what we want for ourselves, for our future generations, and our loved ones? I don't think so. If we want to keep enjoying nature and be healthy, we all must collaborate in keeping our environments clean in any way possible. Do it for ourselves, for our loved ones, and our future generations. A clean environment is a happy environment.

Explanation:

In this speech, we are trying to inform and persuade students to keep the environment clean. We should be persuasive, give reasons to support our claim, and put the main information in the first lines.

The principal information should be in the first lines so that the audience registers it; since they are fully paying attention at the beginning of the speech. After the first minutes, attention starts to decline, and the information is not as well registered as it was at the beginning of the speech.
