ENGL 101 Cuyamaca College Identifying Fallacies of Induction Discussion

 

Hello, This is Dina

I need help with my assignment please!

9.05 Identifying Fallacies of Induction (GRADED DISCUSSION) – Amethyst Identify fallacies and explain the nature of their twisted logic in the statements that follow.

  1. Prostitution should not be legalized because to do so would be to place the stamp of approval on criminal and immoral behavior. If we’re going to legalize one type of crime, what’s to prevent us from legalizing other types? Eventually, even murderers might be issued a state license giving them the right to kill.
  2. “Back in the 1930s, the labor unions were like a 21-year-old woman. She was beautiful, had a gorgeous body, a sparkling personality, and she seduced a lot of people into the labor movement. That’s fine. The problem is that this 21-year-old siren is now in her 60s and she’s 40 pounds overweight, needs a facelift, and has a terrible disposition” (Hoffer (Links to an external site.)).
  3. Several of my friends have had the misfortune of seeing residences next to them converted into rooming houses for college students, and they have scarcely enjoyed a peaceful night’s sleep since. If we value the quiet and integrity of our neighborhoods, we must oppose the granting of any more zoning variances permitting such use of formerly single-family dwellings.
  4. There is a distinct relationship between gun control and crime. The state with the most stringent gun control is New York, and the robbery and burglary rate there is 18 times as high as here, in Wyoming. You wouldn’t really want to think about burglarizing a home in rural Wyoming or Colorado, because there might be somebody around with a gun.
  5. Dave used to be a lot of fun, but ever since he got married, he’s changed. His wife must have laid down the law (Links to an external site.).
