A fallacy is a general type of appeal (or category of argument) that resembles good reasoning, but that readers should not find to be persuasive. Fallacies are also defined as an incorrect or misleading idea or opinion that is based on unsound reasoning or inaccurate facts. For example the phrase - "All Muslims hate Jews" is a fallacy. "Through the Looking Glass" is a great book to identify fallacies.

How can students acquire their critical mind?
A person gets a critical mind by being observing and learning to learn the rules of critical thinking. Consider whether someone is saying something that is true, factual and cannot be refuted. Consider whether his or her orations are complete fallacies. Are there generalizations being stated as fact rather than as partially inclusive? Talk to a teacher who teaches Critical thinking and they can steer you in the right direction. This is a very important skill to have because you don't want to be a college graduate who cannot think, discern and reveal problems in what people write or say. Sample: "It is your duty to fight for our freedom." This was a phrase used often by parents from the World War 2 and World War 1 generation. It is a fallacy. Why? Because the country was not fighting for the freedom of the US citizens but rather for the citizens of the world in World War 2. When Viet Nam War came along that phrase is a bigger fallacy. The communists of North Viet Nam were never a threat to the freedom of the US citizens so the young people rebelled because they knew it was a fallacious statement and premise for going to war.
