A logical fallacy is an error of reasoning in an argument. When someone adopts a position, or tries to persuade someone else to adopt a position, based on a bad piece of reasoning, they commit a fallacy.
The ability to identify logical fallacies in the arguments of others, and to avoid them in one’s own arguments, is both valuable and increasingly rare. Fallacious reasoning keeps us from knowing the truth, and the inability to think critically makes us vulnerable to manipulation by those skilled in the art of rhetoric.

Propaganda•Bandwagon – is an effect that encourages listeners to act or think in a certain way simply because everybody else does. Ex: The student council, the football team, and the entire cheerleading squad are going to the game. So should you.
• Testimonials- (appeal to authority) Appeal to an “expert” or person of interest to endorse your argument.
• A glittering generality (also called glowing generality) is an emotionally appealing word so closely associated with highly-valued concepts and beliefs that it carries conviction without supporting information or reason.

A fallacy in which a course of action is objected to on the grounds that once taken it will lead to additional actions until some undesirable consequence results
Ex: You should never gamble. Once you start gambling you find it hard to stop. Soon you are spending all of your money on gambling, and eventually you will turn to crime to support your earnings

Red Herring
Red Herring – takes a listener’s attention away from the real issue or point.
Example – Baseball Player Mark McGuire just retired. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. After all, he’s such a nice guy, and he gives a lot of money to charity.
