     Slippery Slope – once event occurs,
    Deductive Reasoning is the process of making a other related events will follow, and
    logical argument by applying known facts, this will eventually lead to undesirable
    definitions, properties and the laws of logic. consequences.
    Key questions:
    If then statements are typically used in 1. Claimed effects really that bad?
    deductive reasoning. 2. Claimed effects likely to follow?
     If something is true something else 3. Costs outweigh the benefits?
    must be true.  Red Herring Fallacy – Occurs when
     The “If” part of the statement is the something is introduced to an argument
    hypothesis. that misleads or distracts from the
     The “then” part is the conclusion. relevant issue.
     Hasty Generalization
    Inductive Reasoning – is a method of reasoning

    versa.
     Composition – This infers that
    something is true of the whole from the
    fact that it is true of some part of the
    whole.
     Division – One reasons logically that
    something true of a thing must also be
    true of all or some of its part.
     Against the Person (Argumentum ad
    Hominem) this fallacy attempts to link
    the validity of a premise to a
    characteristic or belief of the person
    advocating the premise.
     Appeal to force (Argumentum ad
    Baculum) an argument where force,
    coercion, or the threat of force is given
    as a justification for a conclusion.
     False Cause (Post hoc ergo propter hoc)
    since that event followed this one, the
    event must have been caused by this
