Name CallingCalls others names, puts them down,

or tries to show them up in order to make themselves look better

Example:“Our competitor’s products break

down, fall apart, and just don’t do the job. Our product works perfectly!”

Why does this work?

Card-Stacking

Presenting only facts that support one side; not telling the whole story

Examples: “Students should not have to wear uniforms because they are ugly, uncomfortable, and limit individual expression.”

“Barack Obama is the best President ever because he supports the right issues.”

What is Bias?

Bias is an opinion about whether a person, group, thing, or idea is good or bad, which influences how you deal with it

It is similar to prejudiceSomeone or something that is biased

is one-sided

Page 7: DO NOW Write about a time when someone judged you based on what you look like instead of how you are

How do you find bias?

Step 1: Look for any information you know about the creator/author (What does the author or creator want you to do? You may not always be able to find this information.)

Step 2: Look for specific word choice that shows an opinion (hint: should is word that expresses feeling or opinion)

Step 3: Decide what the author’s opinion of the subject is (example: positive, negative, for, against, and so on)

Premise: a statement upon which an argument is based; supporting details for an argumentConclusion: a position or opinion that a person comes to after listening to an argument

False Syllogism

An argument made of two premises and a conclusion, where the premises do not actually lead to the conclusion

Example: “National awards are given to great teachers. Mr. Weinstein has never won a teaching award. Therefore, Mr. Weinstein is not a great teacher.”

“Kids eat lots of ice cream in the summer. Kids drown in pools during the summer more than any other month. Ice cream makes kids drown in pools.”

Remember:

Just because two things are related doesn’t mean one caused the other.

Watch out for arguments that try to trick you by making you think that a problem is caused by something that’s not actually related to it

at all.

Generalization

A generalization is a statement about all the members of a group that may be true in some or many situations but is not true in every case.

EX: Mr. Weinstein can’t dance, so all white people can’t dance.

Generalizations lead to false conclusions!
