ReneIn "12 Angry Men," several fallacies were used, including ad hominem attacks (attacking the person making the argument rather than the argument itself), appeal to emotion (using emotional pleas to sway opinions), and hasty generalization (drawing broad conclusions from limited evidence).

What are some reasons that logical fallacies should not be used when constructing an argument?
Logical fallacies can weaken the validity of an argument by relying on flawed reasoning or deceptive tactics. They hinder the ability to reach sound conclusions based on valid evidence and reasoning. Instead of promoting critical thinking and informed discussions, fallacies can mislead and manipulate the audience.
Fallacies select all that apply?
Some common types of fallacies include ad hominem (attacking the person instead of the argument), slippery slope (suggesting one action will lead to extreme consequences), false cause (assuming one event caused another without evidence), and appeal to authority (relying on someone's status rather than evidence).
Can you provide some examples of emotional fallacies in arguments?
Emotional fallacies in arguments are when emotions are used to manipulate rather than provide logical reasoning. Examples include appealing to fear, pity, or guilt to sway opinions without solid evidence or reasoning.

Can you provide examples of intentional fallacies in literature and art?
Intentional fallacies in literature and art are deliberate misrepresentations or manipulations used by artists to create a specific effect. One example is the unreliable narrator in literature, where the narrator's perspective is intentionally skewed to mislead the reader. In art, an example could be an artist using exaggerated proportions to distort reality for a dramatic impact.
