Types of fallacies;-

  • Ad misericordiam is a fallacy when a conclusion is drawn with the impact of emotion or an unfortunate conclusion.
  • Fallacy of division is an informal fallacy according to the fallacy, if a statement is accepted by everyone it should be true. For example- if everyone in the society things that God exists, called must exist.
  • Example of Fallacy of Composition can be “Trees Are made up of cells, cells are not visible to eyes therefore trees are not visible to eyes.“According to this fallacy, conclusion is drawn as whole only with a part.
  • Ad Populum: It is the fallacy or effect in which something is accepted just because all other people agree on it. This is also called the Bandwagon effect. For example: Everybody in the class has decided to do engineering hands. Engineering is a good field.
  • Ad Verecundian: Appeal to authority or accepting something because it comes from any authority or powerful person.
  • Straw Man fallacy: This is a miss presentation by someone to make it easier to attack if a mother says that you have to finish the veggies if you want dessert and the sun replies you love me only when I eat food.
  • The Hasty Generalization fallacy: This policy occurs when someone drives an expensive conclusion based on educated evidence. For example, everything you do is different from mine. That's how, I know you are always doing wrong.
  • Policy of slippery slope: This is also known as absurd and extrapolation.
  • Bandwagon argument: When an argument is considered true as it is popular or considered true by many people.
  • Red Herring Argument: When a misleading statement or argument is presented to distract the opposition.
  • Begging the question: When the arguer assumed the point to be proven in the argument.
