Can you identify the fallacies in this paragraph and why it's a fallacy?Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am Jake Gold, and I am here to warn you against a growing movement among the general population to eliminate money from politics. The goal of these people is to prevent corporations from giving money to political campaigns and to prevent politicians from taking lucrative jobs with corporations for several years after they exit Congress or the Senate. But I say that corporations are part of a capitalistic society, so you are either for allowing corporations to give unlimited money to politicians or you are a communist. For that reason, I am asking you to donate money to my campaign. I will fight against any bill designed to limit the money that you can give to politicians, including the bill sponsored by Mr. Bird that is currently gaining traction. After all, you have all grown up during the generations of our country where companies can give money to politicians---we should keep it that way.

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

Hmmm. I am detecting a homework question here, so I help you like I help my other students. Take a closer look at these two statements and see if you can match the fallacy. You can find those fallacies linked here: But I say that corporations are part of a capitalistic society, so you are either for allowing corporations to give unlimited money to politicians or you are a communist.
After all, you have all grown up during the generations of our country where companies can give money to politicians---we should keep it that way. |
