Strategies for Decision Making This week’s lecture focused on
applying some of the intellectual standards discussed in previous weeks and applying
them to the news media. This week’s lecture also focused on the different fallacies that
individuals make when trying to persuade you. Think of some of the disagreements or
arguments you have had in the past – either at a personal, educational or professional
level. Describe the disagreement or argument. What kinds of fallacies did you or they
use as part of the argument? Was it persuasive? Did you feel good critical thinking was
used in any of your examples? Your work should be at least 500 words, but mostly draw
from your own personal experience.
