Logical Fallacies

Bandwagon
John: I love ABBA music, they arelegendary to most modern music
Ivan:Oh please, only my grandmother listens to that
Michael:Yeah, Greenday rocks much more, you are too old fashioned, grandpa
John: Hey, I was just kidding, I hate ABBA, Greenday is definitely the best!
Straw Man
Person A: KFC fried chicken is very delicious.
Person B: If you eat KFC fried chicken everyday, you will grow fat and become susceptable to medical conditions that would eventually lead to death.
Post Hoc
Argument: After the Ian ate the caesar salad, he died of a heart attack the nest day, thus, eating caesar salad gives you heart attacks.
Sweeping Generalizations


Standing around at a public place is illegal as it is considered as loitering. Security guards are standing at the entrance of the shopping mall. They are breaking the law as they are loitering.
