Which logical fallacy often includes a premise that appeals to what is believed or done by the mainstream or the elite?
a. hasty generalization
b. popular appeal
c. faulty analogy
d. equivocation

B. popular appeal

The common logical fallacy that will include an appeal to something because the mainstream or elite is doing it is known as popular appeal. This can also be known as “bandwagon appeal.” For instance, an argument that includes this fallacy might suggest that something is right because everyone else is doing it. The popular appeal can be particularly effective because of how people tend to want to be part of the “in” crowd, and by nature will tend to do what everyone else is doing. Thus, it is especially important to be on the lookout for this when reading or listening to argumentative/persuasive messages in order to fall prey to fallacious reasoning and tactics.

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.
