The Fallacy Summary: The Fallacy Of Scare Tactic
The fallacy that I have chosen is Scare Tactic
Define: Using fear or a threat against another person in the attempts to get them to conform to your way of thinking or desired action.
Design:
Scenario 1: As a car salesman I would invoke a sense of fear or urgency in the couple by stating that this car has just come in on the lot and will not last the day. I would tell them that this specific used car and the way and which it was cared for is rare. I would go on to say that this car was just posted online today and I had already received many phone calls on the car. A car at this price is well below Kelley Blue Book with such low miles is truly a needle in a haystack. Without a deposit on the car, I cannot hold it and I just do not want to …show more content…
I would tell her she was extremely lucky to have come to me today and that with her hard work and dedication we could clear her aura together. I would state that revitalizing her health would require some expensive weekly aura treatments, but that you cannot put a price on good health!
Scenario 3: Using Scare tactic I would advise the political leader searching for advice to speak with the other leader about the issues on his property. I would tell him to make mention to the other political leader that the property in question was a former war site and that there were many land mines in the area.

Scenario 6: As a politician I would state to Alaskans that our independence from the Middle East was important. If we were to drill for petroleum in the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge the need for political ties in the Middle East purely for the sake of oil would no longer be necessary. By drilling in Alaska, our fear or terrorism and our safety in the United States would be achieved. We could bring our soldiers home and protect our countries borders with no other need for the Middle East and what it offered. Financially our petroleum prices would decrease by drilling within our own country.
Scenario 7: As a thirteen-year-old I would tell my parents that I needed a cell phone for safety. I would state to them that if I had a phone they would be able to get in touch with me at all times. Also with the GPS of the phone they could always rest assure that I was where I was supposed to be at the designated time. If for any reason plans changed or something came up at work for them they could easily text me and we could decide all alternate plans. If I had a cell phone we could all feel more at ease and communication would be simple!
