There are several logical fallacies within this article. The false cause and the slippery slope are the two most prominent fallacies that are seen. Others include: special pleading, generalization, burden of proof, black or white, and a few red herrings


The video watched in class also contained logical fallacies. One of the big ones that were seen were generalization and loaded question. Others include: ad hominum, red herrings, burden of proof, middle ground, and anecdotal.
