Question:
Specialists in communication are often hired to clean up problems created by unthoughtful messaging. While advocates dedicate significant amounts of time and energy promoting causes, they often struggle to clearly identify their logical positions. To further the problem, in light of clear arguments advocates commonly utilize informal fallacies to persuade their target audiences. These weaknesses tend to create easily avoidable communications crises but the first step is to identify the communicative problems.
For this assignment you should identify a social issue you are personally interested in learning more about, advocating for the cause, or are against, and identify their fallacious reasoning.
In 500-750 words:
1. Research an advocate (individual or organization) that promotes a relevant social issue. Identify the organization and explain the relevancy of the social issue.
2. Show the steps you took to translate the position/argument you researched into a clear logical form by writing out the logical premises and conclusions from the material presented by the advocate.
3. Identify a minimum of five informal fallacies that are made by the advocate. Explain the fallacies themselves and how each functions.
At least two academic peer-reviewed sources are required for this paper.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected. In-text citations and references should be presented using APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
