REFLECTION BLOG ENTRY #4


You know this from every bickering couple you've met."Also known by its Latin name, tu quoque, meaning you too, the fallacy involves countering a charge with a charge, rather than addressing the issue being raised, with the intention of diverting attention away from the original argument."
          Last week, we tackled about fallacies. Fallacies are defects in an argument other than having false premises. It is everywhere and even I, myself, is guilty from it. Detecting fallacies is not that easy so it takes practice. 

      Fallacies became part of our daily lives. It is everywhere which is used for some reasons. Personally, I use fallacies to pass through things and escape from it. As much as possible, I try to avoid it especially when I am arguing with someone mostly about just little things. I believe that in a good argument facts should be stated based on the situation and not by things that has nothung to do with the main argument. If we think about fallacies, it is somewhat funny because it sounds a little bit stupid when we analyze it. People nowadays use fallacies as techniques in life to convince and attract some people to side with them and people tend to be carried away with it and not noticing the defects in it.

            As we pass through a lot of arguments in our daily lives, I hope that all of us avoid fallacies and start to state more logical and reasonable facts to have a better solution in an argument. I believe that our experiences about arguments will teach us to be more observant on every detail that we encounter especially arguments that will lead us to the truth and not by lies and defects that people use just to escape some things.
