In a world of propaganda, it's important for us to learn about fallacies. I am going to paste my grade 7's test on fallacies below. Write the answers under each tweet! Which fallacy are the following?
1) When he was elected President, the economy went on to grow at a record pace. He absolutely deserves credit for it.
2) There are only two types of people in the world; people who bully and people who are bullied. Which one are you?
3) Subhan should not get this accounting job because he has a messy room.
4) My lucky rabbit's foot made us win the soccer game!
5) Some friends from California are staying with us. They drive like maniacs, speeding, passing on the right, running red lights. I guess people from California are really irresponsible drivers.
6) Today is -25 degrees and is super cold. Therefore, Global warming is a lie. (Donald Trump actually said something like this)
7) How come you want to play basketball when you didn't want to do homework?
8) If you feed this dog today, then he will start coming to your house every day. Pretty soon, he will be waiting for food outside your house, and if you don't feed him, he will eat your babies. Therefore, only feed this dog if you want your babies to die.
9) Every time I wash my car, it rains. I guess washing my car today would be a bad idea, if we want to have fun in the sun.
10) I am not Hanafi anymore because my English teacher told me that it is better to be a Shafi'i.
11) Islam is not the truth because most people in the world are not Muslim.
12) When George Bush invaded Iraq, he told the whole world, you are either with us or you are with them.
13) When the prophets invited people, they said that they won't leave idol worhsip because it was the practice of their ancestors.
14) Your argument is wrong because you are a dump poo poo face idiot.
