person who presented the argument
ex: You're stupid, so I don't care what you have to say.
Appeal to force - ANS-when you use or threaten to use force to get someone to back
down accept your position
ex: Do as I say or ill hurt you.
Appeal to pity - ANS-someone invokes pity in an argument but is not relevant to the
situation
ex: You need to pass me in this course, since I'll lose my scholarship if you don't.
Appeal to popularity - ANS-one appeals to popular opinion to support their conclusion
ex: Me: "Buying a house is not always the best investment." Majority: "Most people want
to buy a house, so it must be the best investment. It's just common knowledge."
Appeal to ignorance - ANS-one claims that something is true only because it has not
been proven false
ex: There is no proof that God exists; therefore, God does not exist.
Hasty generalization - ANS-one makes a universal claim based on a sample that is
either too small, or unrepresentative
ex: I've met three redheads and they were all mean, so all redheads are mean.
Straw man - ANS-one misrepresents their opponents agreement in order to make it

do you hate me?"
