The document describes several examples of logical fallacies: 1) Two wrongs make a right - Not giving a gift to a friend who didn't give you one. 2) Peer pressure - Copying homework because classmates were doing it. 3) Pity - Lying about being unable to pay rent after spending money on nights out. 4) Circular reasoning - Explaining why some boys wear makeup by saying it's because they are gay. 5) Hasty generalization - Assuming classmates were gossiping based on laughing near the subject.

1 of 3
a.) TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT It's Christmas, and your friend has not given any Christmas presents this year. You thought she don't wanna give, so you decide to not give to her either. b.) PEER RESSURE Some of my classmates in Math 2 cheats whenever we were given homework by our teacher. If I can't answer, as it seems hard and since my classmates were copying our classmate's homework, then I'll too will copy. c.) PITY Due date of house rental, but my friends and I were having night out 2 consecutive weeks . The owner/ landlord collects the payment. MY FRIEND: Sir can you give me time to get this amount? My mother haven't send me my budget for the house rental and also I am starving. The real story is that my friend had received her allowance as well as the payment for the house rental but because we do have night outs, she had spent the money which is intended for the house rental payment. d.) CIRCULAR REASONING An observant 2-year old boy and a mother were having a conversation. BOY: Mom, why do some of the boys wear make up? MOTHER: Because they are gays.
e.)HASTY GENERALIZATION My first day in school, I thought my classmate were backbiter. The second day they greeted me and they seem nice to me. The next day they were in a group and I passed in front of them and they were laughing; therefore, they backbite me. f.) FLATTERY/ VANITY My cousin has an enemy in school, her classmate name Mark whom used to bully her every time in your English subject. One day my cousin brought lots of chocolate and she shared it to her classmates. Mark went nearer and began to give her compliments. MARK: You look nice today! Your cheeks is as pink as rose! g.) NO IN-BETWEENS My younger sister don't like attending BIBLE study and prayer meeting but she wants to go out and meet new people. “ Either we will go and attend the BIBLE study and prayer meeting or we will just stay here at home the whole day.” h.) SLIPPERY SLOPE We have to implement curfew in this place! The next thing you know they'll be more young people staying in the street every night and they'll be more fraternities and young people whom is exposed to drug addiction.
i.) NON SEQUITUR My best friend Honelyn sings well, so she'd be a great performer in any competition. j.) SCARE TACTICS Last 2007, it was a campaign month in our barangay which is Basak San Nicolas. There are vendors whom were given a privilege to sell and to own a stool in a supermarket. The Barangay Captain is George Rama and he is the one whom is in-charge with the place. There were two party-list for the line up of City Officials. First is BOPK, whom is headed by Tommy Osmena & the other team was headed by Atan Guardo. Brgy. Captain George Rama was a member of BOPK. There was a time when he was visiting the supermarket, he didn't expect of what he had seen that day. There was a vendor whom was wearing Atan Guardo t-shirt and this vendor was intrigued by co-vendors that she was in favor of Atan Guardo's team. Without second thought he went to her & confronted the her. He told the vendor that if she will continue for voting the other team, not the BOPK, then she will be expelled to the supermarket. ** George Rama simply implied threat to that vendor & it was a situation that shows scare tactics; the vendor would lose the store of not voting the BOPK team.
