Excerpt from No Cons, All Pros for Reality Shows Dontavious Tindell
My mom claims that reality shows have made young people more rude and aggressive, but without reality shows, young
people would be even more aggressive and rude because they wouldn't have a legitimate outlet for their anti-social impulses.
My mom refuses to recognize that reality shows dominate the airwaves because they are so popular. If they're so corrosive
and decadent, how could millions of people tune in every week to watch these shows? Can millions of people be wrong?
What I truly can't understand is why my mom isn't excited about the money I could bring home from 'The Coolest Kid in
School-almost $100,000 that could go straiglt to my college fund! If for no other reason, my mom should be excited about
me getting on a reality show because I'm now going to be on a reality show.
The line "My mom claims that reality shows have made young people more rude and aggressive, but without reality shows, young
people would be even more aggressive and rude because they wouldn't have a legitimate outlet for their anti-social impulses," is
an example of which logical fallacy?
A)
ad hominem
B)
red herring
C)
false causation
D)
straw man

What is the meaning of each underlined word in these excerpts from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift? i think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. the word prodigious means . the word desponding means .
