Ad Hominem Disputing an argument by criticizing its source.

Hey Maria! I think you should not scold your student in front of the whole class.Hey to you too! Who are you, a mere construction worker, to lecture me, a Ph. D. in Psychology?outlineAd Hominem

Post Hoc, ergo Propter Hoc

Ad Misericordiam

Post Hoc, ergo Propter Hoc Just because two things happened around the same time doesnt mean one caused the other.

Ad Misericordiam When an appeal to evidence is replaced by an appeal to pity, mercy, or sympathy. Dear Mr. Estores,

I am invoking your compassionate heart to show some Christian charity by letting me pass in your Logic class. Sir, I understand your point in failing me and I acknowledge that I deserve it. Nonetheless, I am deeply afraid that when my mother finds this, she may not allow me to go to school anymore thus jeopardizing my bright future. You see sir, it has always been my dream to be a manager in a 5 star hotel. I hope and pray that you will not let my dream fade away.

Sincerely Regretful and Hopeful, GretchenCritical Thinking is as necessary as breathing. It is the element that makes us who we are being humans.

Without it we are nothing but MINDLESS BRUTES.THANK YOU ANDGOD BLESS
