FALLACIES 01. Hasty Generalization something is true based on a limited number of samples only. “I’ve met two people in Greece so far, and they were both nice to me. So, all the people I will meet in Greece will be nice to me.”  Only 30% of the class passed the English Comprehensive Exam, the rest are illiterate. Five out of fifty students got high scores in the test, the rest got failing grades. 02. Bandwagon (Ad Populum) something is true because most or all of the people think, believe, and feel the same way. “ This is right because majority of the public agrees. ” Everyone is getting the new smartphone as soon as it comes out this weekend. You should get it too. More and more people are questioning the effectivity of the K12 Curriculum; therefore a review of the policy is needed. 03. Personal attack (Ad Hominem) something is true because of the characteristics of the speaker. “ This is true because of the way you are. ” 04. Appeal to Pity (Ad Misericordiam) something is true because you can feel a strong sympathy. “ This is right because my emotions say so. ” A no-assignment policy should be implemented because students have other tasks to attend to. Students have no choice but to stay up late at night and cram school requirements already needed the following day. Public school teachers deserve a raise. They are overworked yet underpaid, and their daily stress of handling hundreds of students per day, usually, all at the same time is one of the many reasons why a raise is recommended. 05. Appeal to false authority (Ad Verecundiam) something is true because someone agrees, regardless of his/her expertise. “ This is right because he/she says so. ”  Death penalty should be abolished. Many respected people, such as Brad Pitt, have publicly stated their opposition to it. Review Any questions? PRACTICE 1. In order to fit in a group of peers, it is essential to mimic their behavior in purchasing the latest model of iPhones. Bandwagon (Ad Populum) 2. My opponent raises a good point; however, it is evident that he cannot be trusted. He moved to this town only two years ago and everyone knows that his wife left him. Personal attack (Ad Hominem) 3. Some people may not like knitted sweaters but imagine the amount of effort to make one: the involuntary shaking of hands, the inevitable numbness of the arched back, and the immense trouble of untangling threads of yarns. Appeal to Pity (Ad Misericordiam) 4. There is definitely a link between autism and the vaccines given to toddlers (Wikipedia, 2023). Appeal to false authority (Ad Verecundiam) 5. Foreign imports are wrecking our economy and savaging our poor workers. Before you put your money on that Honda, think of the guy in the province whose kids may not eat tomorrow. Appeal to Pity (Ad Misericordiam) 6. Why would people ever listen to such a man? He is ugly and good for nothing. Personal attack (Ad Hominem) 7. He smokes one pack of cigarettes a day because his uncle did the same and lived until he was 95. Hasty Generalization 8. Of course, the newly implemented policy will surely fail – everyone says so. Bandwagon (Ad Populum) II. APA FORMAT APA Format (7th Edition) American Psychological Association provides the set of guidelines for writing and formatting research papers. font choice, font number, margin, indentation, punctuations, citations In a research paper, you draw on the work of other researchers and writers, and you must document their contributions by citing your sources. Sources are cited for two reasons: to tell readers where your information comes from – so that they can assess its reliability and, if interested, find and read the original source to give credit to the writers from whom you have borrowed words and ideas Borrowing without proper acknowledgement is a form of dishonesty known as plagiarism – a serious academic offense. Three different acts are considered plagiarism: failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas failing to enclose borrowed ideas in quotation marks failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own words  To avoid this, APA gives three general rules: The source is introduced by a signal phrase that includes the last name of the author followed by the year of publication in parentheses. The idea being cited is followed by a page number or other locator in parentheses (for a direct quotation). At the end of the paper, an alphabetical list of references gives complete publication information for the source. In-text citation According to Bell (2010), “students engaged in this kind of learning performed better on both project-based assessments and standardized tests” (pp. 39-40). References Bell, S. (2010). Project-based learning for the 21st century: Skills for the future. The Clearing House, 83(2), 39-40. APA in-text citation rules these are citations that appear in the body of the paper. The basic format consists of four parts: Signal phrase Author’s last name Year of publication (months and date are for References only) Locator Other signal phrases: According to Austin (1959), “…” In the words of Mitra (2013), “…” As noted by Bell (2010), “…” Grice (1970) answered objections with the following analysis: “…” Horn and Staker (2011) have offered a compelling argument: “…” Other verbs in signal phrases: admitted agreed argued asserted believed claimed compared confirmed contended declared denied emphasized explained insisted noted observed pointed out reasoned refuted rejected reported responded suggested wrote Special instances: 1. Citing a quotation (word-for-word). Follow the basic format, but enclose the quotation with quotation marks “” Cubukcu (2012) argued that for a student-centered approach to work, students must maintain “ownership for their goals and activities” (p. 64). 2. Citing a summary or a paraphrase. Follow the basic format, and drop the quotation marks. Watson (2008) offered a case study in which students were able to engage in highly individualized instruction according to their own needs, strengths, and learning styles, using 10 teachers as support (p. 7). 3. Work with two authors. Write the surnames of both authors and separate them with “and.” According to Smith and Zuzovsky (2014), “demographic growth in the school population” can lead to teacher shortages (p. 426). 4. Work with three or more authors. Write the first author’s surname followed by “et al.” (Latin for “and others”). In a study published by Harper et al. (2013), teachers’ perceptions of project-based learning before and after participating in a PBL pilot program was analyzed (pp. 47-60). 5. Work without an author specified. Replace with the work’s title. Collaboration increases significantly among students who own or have regular access to a laptop (Tech Seeds, 2015, p. 5). 6. Work without a date specified. Use the abbreviation “n.d.” (short for “no date”). Administrators believe 1-to-1 programs boost learner engagement (Magnus, n.d., p.10). 7. Work without page numbers. Include another locator such as a section heading, paragraph number, figure or table number, slide number, or time stamp. Lopez (2020) has noted that “…” (Symptoms section). Myers (2019) extolled the benefits of humility “…” (para. 5). Brezinski and Zhang (2017) traced the increase “…” (Figure 3). The American Immigration Council has recommended that “…” (Slide 5). In a recent TED Talk, Gould (2019) argued that “…” (13:27). 8. Indirect source (source quoted in another source). Cite both authors, but write “as cited in” for the secondary source. Brailsford (1990) commended the writer and educator’s “sure understanding of the thoughts of young people” (as cited in Chow, 2019, para. 9). APA list of references rules These are citations that appear at the end of the paper, titled “References” The basic format consists of four parts: Author’s surname + initials Date of publication Remember to insert a period after each of Title of the work these four parts.

Thus, in bringing about societal change the challenge is to be firm in making a stand. even if you really do have a brilliant opinion, the society at large will not know about it since they do not have access to your thoughts unless you publish or write them. For this reason, editorials are written to express a columnist’s opinion about a particular issue with ” the hope that such an opinion will generate much interest, and ultimately, action on the part of the reading public. Closing Prayer Live Jesus, forever in our hearts.
