Fallacies of Relevance

This is mainly an argument that commits and assumes that even if a statement is partly true and false the whole statement has to be true. It is an argumentative statement that portrays an individual’s character be it true or false according to the person’s argument. They mostly rely on the truth of the conclusion and assume that both or all parties are equal (Bennett, 2012). This logical fallacy implodes on the utterances not truth or relies on the non-substantially evidence which cannot be proved. It portrays the negative image before a person is given a chance to defend him/herself. They present evident that is not relevant because it has not been presented.

Fallacies of Ambiguity

This is an argument based on diminishing the reputation of a person through twisting of words and statements. A person manipulates the victim’s language to make it irrelevant and submit it as evidence to dismiss his or her case. It might be assumed as lack of clarity from the person or misunderstanding of words which is manipulated and used as a means of attack. They reduce the reputation of the paper by deceiving others and making information of important not viable. The ambiguity will be used against a person and this creates a sense of self-deception from all parties (Damer, 2012)

.

Fallacies of Presumption

A dilemma is defined as a perplexing situation that requires a choice between equally conclusive alternatives. Logical fallacy is caused when there is no proof of truth in the statement. The statement is usually determined by the assumption that a different party was present .It takes the presumption that the act has been recurrent and would eventually take place in the future. Its main flow is that it contains arguments with bad inferences. A paper with fallacy does not have sufficient evidence to formulate a conclusion .It documents a research or paper as incomplete or one with great number of error of reasoning.

Fallacy can best be eradicated by defeating a dummy argument than engaging in a real nuances debate. In argument sense it is better to use intellect rather than use the emotions when presenting a reasonable statement. In debate parties can use facts rather than fiction or refute from generalizing the argument. A false analog can be determined when similarities are irrelevant. During arguments an individual should state the pros and cons of the argument rather than depending on one side (Bennett, 2012).

To avoid fallacies statements presented must have a definite conclusion rather than an irrelevant conclusion. To avoid the fallacy of relevance it is better to acknowledge both parties to identify a common are. In times of strategic moves there is no reason to use fallacy to gain confidence of pupils. It is important to reduce stereotyping or bullying to achieve results. Rather than threats a common consensus can be achieved to reduce the fallacy of relevance. To avoid the fallacy of ambiguity information submitted must be relevant to the course.

A statement that changes it phrases to disorient the audience should not be used. Identifying the problem before it brings further complications is the fastest way to reduce ambiguity. Logical fallacies are based on faulty reasoning and are used in everyday reasoning to prevent such fallacy we can reduce the carelessness and ignorance of writers. Shakespeare once said that to realize perfection we need to impress the perfect act. This argument has no merit because the writer only presents simplistic fact of support.
