Another topic in chapter ten that really interested me was a feel good argument, which is an argument that make you want to feel good about yourself. This argument has a missing premise and doesn’t give you a reason to believe her argument is true it just make you feel good about yourself. An example is “Coach you should play me as quarterback because you are such an amazing coach and make the perfect plays and want to win the game.” This makes the coach feel good but does not give a reason to make this person quarterback. This is done a lot in today’s world an many people refer to it as apple polishing or sucking up. I have seen a lot of people get what they want by using this fallacy and it is a shame that some people don’t realize it is a bad argument and don’t need evidence to back it up.
