Straw Person
Fallacy when someone ignores or misrepresents a person's actual position and
substitutes a weaker, distorted or misrepresented version of that position, thereby
making it easier to refute the opponent's position; for example: A biology teachers
says all things evolve, a student says humans could not have come from bugs
Red Herring
Fallacy where an irrelevant topic is inserted into the discussion to divert attention
away from the real issue; for example: Mom gets phone bill and you've gone over
your limit so you tell her about your math test
Slippery Slope
Fallacy that asserts that some action will inevitably lead to a chain of events that will
end in a certain result; for example: If you allow a student to redo a test, they will
want to redo every assignment
Ad Hominem

which the person belongs instead of against the argument the person supports; for
example: A lawyer attacks the defendant's character instead of what is in question

Fallacy where one incorrectly assumes that since two things are alike in one or more
respects, they are necessarily alike in some other; for example: Children are like
dogs so they should eat off the floor and visit the vet
Directional

idea and on to another; for example: Now that we've established the need for
fundraising, let's see which course of action will be most effective
