Hello there MiNtANDrOsE !


Fallacy in simple words  is 'misconception.' Fallacy is when people fail in reasoning or understanding the concept & hence argue undermining the logic of the argument.

 For example , a person might say, "If I speak the truth everytime, I'll offend people." This can be made into a fallacy by saying, 'If I offend people then I'm speaking the truth." Of course, it's not true but people sometimes fail to understand it. This is usually known as a Commentator's fallacy (see the 1st picture). There are many other types of fallacies too, like situational & logical fallacy.



<u>2 examples of fallacies in social media are (see the 2nd & 3rd picture) :
</u>
■
Just because some people support the Republicans doesn't mean that they support the murder of children. There's a fallacy here.

■ In the next picture, it says that Cam Newton threw the touchdown only because Greg Olsen was injured. While Greg might be a good rival & competitor to Cam, there's no reason to why he wouldn't be able to throw  a touchdown if Greg was there or not. So, there's a fallacy here too.

Classroom routines<br><br>1. Describe the end of day routine in the class​
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Before starting your end-of-day routine, it's vital to mentally clear the children from the previous activity. After ordering them to put down their books, materials, and distractions, signal for their attention.

Wait until they've settled in. Allow them a quiet moment to collect their thoughts and release any leftover energy. This pause will signal the beginning of your children's final routine for the day.

Instruct your children to get out of their seats, put on their backpacks, and stand respectfully behind their chairs. Make the most of one's strength by having one pupil line up first. Then, one by one, call each table group or row.

HELP ASAP! The statement below is fallacious. Indicate which fallacy the speaker has committed:
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Conjunction Fallacy

Explanation:

The Conjunction Fallacy is a formal fallacy when one uses evidence that a combination-- or conjunction-- of two possible events are more likely than one of the other events. The speaker only uses two events: "...that the Yankes lose the first game of the series, or that they lose the first game and come back to win?" <em>and </em>combines the two in the latter pondering.

The Base Rate Fallacy is a paradox that explains situations where there is more than one false factoid of evidence. The speaker doesn't address false evidence and decide upon it, so this can't be the answer.

The fallacy (law) of small numbers is an informal fallacy when one reaches a decision based on insufficient evidence. While it's true that the speaker doesn't have enough evidence, they also don't have any-- thence the answer is the Conjunction Fallacy.

The Regression to the Mean fallacy is an informal fallacy when one explains something by its probabilistic nature-- not based on evidence. The speaker explains that they simply "...expect the Yankees to win the series, so [they'll] take the second choice."
