Question

What fallacy is being expressed in this statement? You are either for us, or you are against us. A.Appeal to traditionB.Circular reasoningC.False choiceD.Personal attack

Answer 1

Well here are the definitions of your Fallacies after reading the definitions look back at your statement and see if you can identify the fallacy presented:

Appeal to Tradition- argue that we should accept something because it is customary rather than because of the reasons that justify it commits a fallacy

Circular Reasoning- supports claims with reasons identical to the claims themselves. The grounds and warrant are equivalent in meaning to the claim the purport to support, thus making no inferential leap from grounds to claim.

False Choice (False Dilemma) - its an informal fallacy that involves a situation in which limited alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

Personal Attack (Ad Hominem)- a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument.

I am hoping this helped you with trying to identify the fallacy in that statement.
