Write an example of an argument that suffers from the fallacy of an argument from the negative. Then, explain why it does not prove the point being argued.

Respuesta :

An example of a fallacy that can be used is the sentence "The color red is associated with communism, therefore, everyone who wears red belongs to the communist party."

Why doesn't this fallacy prove anything about associations with communism?

  • Because the colors used in clothes do not necessarily refer to political associations.
  • Because no one aligns with communism because they like the color red.
  • Because it's not possible to judge a person's political ideologies based on their clothes.

The fallacy presented above is called Appeal to Ignorance and occurs when an individual uses the public's lack of knowledge about a subject to establish false concepts that are not really connected to the subject discussed.

In this case, the fallacy presents true information, as the color red is associated with communism, but makes false associations with elements that are not associated, such as the color of people's clothes.
