Whenever I write, I used to ...
Ad Hominem
1. attack my opponent rather than his statements and arguments. I
disagree with my opponent right away and use my opponent’s
personal information against him.
Bandwagon Appeal
2. go along with the majority and follow what the crowd believes.
I also believe that following the majority cause less mistakes. I
prefer to use widely accepted quotations and statements to
make my argument more convincing.
Begging the Question
3. restate one of my arguments and let it be the conclusion. I
believe that by doing it, my claim will be more persuasive
because my conclusion reflects one of my supporting details.
False Analogy
4. relate concepts from different categories to support my
argument. I also believe that relationship of details with one
another does not matter.
False Dilemma
5. give situations which are unpleasant to the readers. This
includes statements which will lead them to accept my point.
Through this, they will be forced to take side with my
argument.
Hasty Generalization
6. propose my conclusions even though I lack the supporting
details. I also believe that searching for supporting details will
just waste much of my time in writing. I also think that
conclusion must be highlighted since some readers will just be
reading only that part.
Non Sequitur
7. cite different irrelevant reasons and examples to prove my
conclusion right. I focus more on the quantity of details rather
than its content. I also believe that the supporting details will
not be given much focus by the reader.
