Entry 4 _ LE HAI VAN
Item1:
"Trung
bình mỗi ngày đêm có hơn 600 lượt cảnh sát tuần tra, trấn áp tội phạm để bảo vệ
bình yên cho người dân. Đây là nguyên nhân khiến tình hình tội phạm tại TP HCM
đã giảm", thiếu tướng Phan Anh Minh, Phó giám đốc Công an TP HCM cho biết
tại Hội nghị tổng kết đợt cao điểm tấn công trấn áp tội phạm (tháng 12/2012 đến
tháng 3/2013) tổ chức hôm 17/4.

Type of fallacy: Fallacy of presumption: post-hoc
fallacy
-
Analysis: This major-general indicated that the
increase of more than 600 patrolmen resulted in the decrease of crime situation
in Hồ Chí Minh city. But he didn’t consider other reasons. More than 600
patrolmen might be the major cause but there were lots of other ones which
affected this problem.
Item2
-
Type of
fallacy: Fallacy of relevance: appeal to popularity
-
Analysis: Almost
humans tend to conform with the views of the majority. In this video, you can
see that there are a lot of experts from various famous washing machine
manufacturers (such as: Toshiba, Sanyo, Panasonic, LG..) and they all choose
Omo Matic as the product going with their top machines. So it’s obvious that by
relying on popularity, Omo want to encourage people to buy Omo Matic and widely
advertise their product.
-
Type of
fallacy: Fallacy of ambiguity
-
Analysis:
The word “guy” means gentleman/lad/boy/person. When the left man says: “You
can’t gimme any proof, can you, guy?”, “guy” as be mentioned is simply indicate
the right man. But he doesn’t understand and think that the left man calls him
“Guy” as a name, so he says :”By the way, my name’s John, not guy!”
