Assignment:

Identify the fallacy or emotional appeal found in each statement below:

1. The five doctors in town are voting for Bob Jones for school committee, so I will vote for Bob Jones too.
2. Marijuana was popular with hippies first, that why I will never use it!
3. If we allow the music festival to take place, the next thing you know all our children will be using drugs regularly.
4. "You see, folks, Tim's plan will risk sending our economy into a tailspin, risking harm to thousands of Brocktonians. On the other hand, my plan supports a healthy and strong Brockton and would never bet our state's economic security on idealistic notions that simply don't work when the rubber meets the road."
5. Perhaps Republicans have contributed to the political violence in this country, but what about those Democrats and their #MeToo riots?
6. My opponent didn't finish college in four years - how can you expect her to deliver a balanced budget?
7. Useless classes like music should not be offered in college.
8. Everyone knows that Reebok makes the best sneakers.
9. No one in this town would vote for Joe Biden - and that's why you shouldn't either.
