Oct 17th-22nd Question 1

The second assignment was very helpful to me because I made me understand the way businesses and organizations advertise themselves and how they get people to understand what they do. This helped me understand why we learned about fallacies and reasoning because it showed me how it is used in the real world versus a definition or example sentence in a book. It shows how using fallacies can really persuade someone a certain way or twist what is really going on. I also realized a lot of organizations use appeal to emotion to get their point across to people and make them feel sorry so therefore they donate or will pay more attention to the message. I also never noticed how much different types of claims are used until I did this assignment. In so many places around campus I see examples of proof substitutes, and innuendos. Such as in Clark it says come get help with your writing from a trained specialist, they give not proof of where this “specialist” is from or what credibility they have.
