Logical Fallacies

Either-or: A product at the store always comes up for the best seller. A couple is looking for a brand new television for $1,000 dollar. Option A: they would have buy 900 dollars 48 inches without 3-D vision. Or Option B: $1,100 with better sound and vision of 3-D which is awesome. The worker would encourage you to get Option B so they could make some more money as bribing. Therfore its up to the couple for their needs, they would have to persausive hard to make decision to go over the budget or save money with low quality television.

Bandwagon appeals: Doctor saying you are required for annual checkup. Yourself, you went to doctor last year and saying your perfect in health. Your friends recently got checkup and flu shot and suggesting you to get flu shot and see physican or your own family doctor to check for any signs or symptoms or any testing for disease. You thinking about this if you should see physican and talk about flu shot. Your friends gave you feedbacks that they never did got sick. Now your on neutral position wheather to get annual checkup but feeling waste of time doing this as well.

Rationalization: Making mistakes during the day. Waking up in the morning late for work because of the weather that turns the power off. Your now making excuses for return to your work late. At work you tend to be distracted but feeling guilty about lying to boss for silly excuse. Only if the power works just fine, the better you will be off during the day.
