Question.4029 - After reading the Introductions to Fallacies (just before this assignment) and Chapter 8 of your textbook, find a fallacy in any print media. For this discussion, find a fallacy that we did not discuss in Composition One. Here are some: Circular reasoning tu quo que Appeals to Nature Appeals to Tradition No True Scotsman Ad Nauseum Appeal to Pity Avoid images that are designed to teach you fallacies. Instead, find examples from media: news, politics, commercials, etc. Be sure to post a description of how you believe the fallacy works to appeal to the intended audience. As in all of our discussions, post as early in the week as possible, and respond with meaningful discussion to at least two peers. All work is due when? That's right. 5:00 pm on Fridays. Note: You will have to post before you can see others' posts.
Answer Below:
Appeal to Nature An example of the Appeal to Nature fallacy in promoting the raw honey brand Nature Nate commits that"Nature Nate’s honey is 100% pure and raw, straight from the hive nature's perfect sweetener!" This advertisement's focus on "straight from the hive" and "100% pure and raw" implies that the honey is inherently better than other sweeteners or processed honey products because it is natural and barely processed. It is implied that it is the healthiest and most genuine option because it is derived directly from nature. Without presenting proof that raw honey is inherently better than processed honey or artificial sweeteners, marketing makes the fallacy that "natural" means higher quality or health advantages. The claim that raw honey is "nature's perfect sweetener" oversimplifies the complicated relationship between nutrition and food quality, even though it offers some advantages, such as being unrefined and keeping more natural enzymes. According to a recent class action complaint, lab testing indicates that Nature Nate's 100% Pure Raw and Unfiltered Honey is not 100% honey or raw (topclassactions, 2019). This raises the possibility of deceptive marketing tactics since customers might have been misled into thinking they were buying an entirely natural and unprocessed product when, in reality, it might include additives or have undergone processing that goes against such claims. By implying that a product's naturalness is sufficient justification for selecting it over competing options, this marketing strategy capitalises on consumers' inclination for natural items.
