Journal Entry #8: Guess That Fallacy Quiz
I recently learned in my Communication for Development class about logicial fallacies and how they can be used in arguments or debates, whether intentional or unintentional.
I’m guilty in doing one or two of those fallacies when I argue or convince people so being aware of them is important. With this, I made a quiz where you guess that logical fallacy!
Scenario 1: You either become a good attorney with good values or you become a corrupt person. It’s really one thing or the other.
Scenario 2: Phoenix Wright is not the best candidate for the job because he can get very heated in discussions and you don’t want that, do you?
Scenario 3: Detective Gumshoe was at the scene of the crime yesterday, and today the crime scene was gone. He must have committed the crime.
Scenario 4: My lawyer friends don’t have a loving partner or are currently dating anyone, so maybe pursuing a career in law entails sacrificing your love life.
Scenario 5: Every law student has seen the movie Legally Blonde or have played Ace Attorney, so those media must be a good representation of the justice system.
