Đứa nào?
Hai bà bạn thân tâm sự:
"Không biết mấy đứa nhà chị thế nào? Chứ hai thằng cu nhà tôi, cùng một
giống mà khác nhau một trời một vực".
-
Ấy ấy, sao có thể thế được.
-
Thằng bé thì ngoan ngoãn, vâng lời, chăm chỉ, học giỏi. Thằng lớn thì thôi rồi,
cục cằn, thô lỗ, suốt ngày túm tụm lại với mấy thằng bạn mà nhậu nhẹt bí tỉ,
nói mãi không nghe, có khi còn cãi như chém chả ấy.
-
Nhưng mà cậu đẻ đứa nữa từ bao giờ thế?
-
Đẻ gì?
-
Thế sao lại có hai thằng? Thằng bé ngoan thì đúng rồi. Còn thằng lớn?
-
Bố nó chứ ai.
·
Fallacy of ambiguity
·
Analysis: “thằng cu” has 2 different
meaning: the son and the husband
The woman in this story
has a child and a husband. However, both her son and her husband are
called “thằng cu”, which gives a great misunderstanding. The listeners think
she has two children that is a funny factor in this story.
Item 2:
·
structure of argument:
Premise: According to
research, over 500 children in Vietnam drinking Dialac Alpha has the same
height efficient and more than weight one than drinking other milks
Conclusion: drinking
Dialac Alpha is a smart choice for Vietnam’s children.
·
Fallacy type: hasty- generalization
·
Analysis: In this advertisement, the
survey just research on more than 500
children in Vietnam drinking Dialac Alpha, it conclude quickly that :” Dialac
Alpha provides the children’s healthier body more than other milks”. In fact,
the number of children at that time (2009) is . with the amount of of children researched is not big enough to
be able to conclude that :” Dialac Alpha is the smart choice for Vietnam’s
children”.
Item 3:
·
Fallacy type: FALSE DILEMMA
·
Analysis: the
clause “love it or leave it” and the picture shows that the American just have
2 choices: must love America or have to leave it. In fact, there are some other
choices. For example, an American may live there but without the love.
