11. LOGICAL FALLACIES The idea of applying logic but drawing the incorrect conclusion. Your argument may be correct, but its conclusion is not correct. Premise 1: Daniela talks a lot. Premise 2: Daniela is a tenth grader. Conclusion: Therefore, all tenth graders talk a lot.

12. GLITTERING GENERALITIES This is similar to the ‘transfer’ method from before. But this time, you use exciting and vague virtues to connect your audience’s emotions to the virtue. Virtues like: rights, civilization, family values, character, democracy, freedom, etc… An ad by cigarette companies may state, “Don’t let them take away your rights!”

14. NAME-CALLING This is the opposite of the ‘Glittering Generalities’ approach. This idea connects someone with a negative idea. Making the people believe that, that person is a negative person.
