    Pseudo-questions: Asking a question based on a false premise. "Why does the Obama administration want to punish poor people?" A political pundit might ask this question about the proposed health care plan in which Americans will be required to buy insurance. 


Equivocation: Relying on two meanings of a word to make your point; changing the meaning partway through the argument. "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are black." This argument takes advantage of different meanings of the word "prejudiced". On the one hand, it can mean actively or knowingly disliking people of a particular race or ethnic group. But on the other hand, it can also mean having under-the-surface, unconscious stereotypes. Most people probably have the second kind of "prejudice", even if it's subconscious. 


Ad hominem: attacking the person instead of the issue; name-calling. "Arnold Schwarzenegger is a muscle-bound lunkhead who doesn't know what's best for this state." This would be a personal attack on an individual that doesn't at all address any kinds of arguments or issues.

Mere assertion: Stating something but not giving any reason for it. "God doesn't exist." The most common atheist "argument" is no argument at all but simply a statement of fact. Of course, in the case of atheism, atheists are arguing from negative evidence, which is much harder than simply making the assertion.


Circular reasoning: Using the premise itself, or something that follows from the premise, in order to prove the premise. "I know God exists because the Bible says so and the Bible is the word of God." This argument is circular; in fact, nothing in the Bible can be said to "prove" the existence of God.


Red herring: Changing the subject. Bringing up irrelevant information instead of addressing the relevant points. "The drinking age should be lowered to 18 because 18 year olds are old enough to die for…

    Governor Arthur Phillip

    • 260 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Governor Arthur Philip should be considered an Australian Legend because he was the first to interact with the Indigenous Australians in respectful way. Governor Arthur Phillip interacted with the Indigenous Australians in a positive and polite way, he meant them no harm: he believed that he could communicate with them without any violence; he didn’t want innocent people to die due to a small misunderstandings. Phillip wanted to learn about the Aboriginal culture, food and language and he wanted the Aboriginal people to know about the English culture. Reasons supporting this argument are that there were a few hardships in the relationship between the European people. `Aboriginal people threw stones at the European ships, stole food and tools from the English men’. Evidence states that `Phillip’s convicts stole spears, fishing equipment and canoes from the Aboriginal people’. “There where great differences between the European and Aboriginal people”. The European people had little understanding in the way Aboriginal people lived and what their beliefs were. It was believed that the Aboriginals did not understand the English/European practices such as farming and land ownership. Phillip should be considered an Australian legend because he had high beliefs that harming the Natives will bring nothing positive. He treated the Aboriginals just like they were his men, he ordered his convicts and marines to treat them with respect, and anyone that killed a Native would be hanged as punishment. Therefore Governor Arthur Phillip should be considered an Australian legend because he was the first to interact with Indigenous Australians in a respectful…
