Read the argument below then decide which logical fallacy the argument uses. Cell phones have long been banned in schools, not only to prevent cheating but also to help reduce cyber bullying within the school walls as well as discourage unnecessary media usage during school hours. However, now some schools are considering letting cell phones make an appearance in the classroom. These schools claim “SmartPhones,” which are cell phones with Internet capabilities, may be useful to students in the classroom. However, administrators must ask if cell phones will really cause more good than harm. With access to cell phones, students could have access to homework and test answers during school, the ability to log in to social media sites using their data plan, and decreased productivity with their attention given to the phones instead of schoolwork. Although access to cell phones in school could be the best thing for students in helping them succeed, cell phones could also be the worst thing for student success and focus. However, careful consideration must be given to both sides before consenting to either option because cell phones could be the best or worst thing for the kids, but a hasty decision would lead to disaster for our kids and our schools. Please consider the consequences before taking any action!

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
