Not a tautology
- It does not make sense in real life because it not necessarily true. For example. There may be a chance that other people with other hair colors have more fun
- Still doesn’t make sense in real life because it is not a tautology, and not necessarily true.
- Truth tables can be useful because they can help detect the validity of an argument. However arguments are is always arguable and not everything is objective. There are other opinions and perspectives.
7. The source is from a hair dye ad and from 1960. The big picture is to sell the product, not to lie or have an agenda.
8. It is not a fallacy
9. This helped me think more critically about media by thinking in a more objective sense. It is interesting to figure it out mathematically.
I really like the argument you chose. I completely agree with your thinking on number 9 and think it is interesting what you said in 6c.
ReplyDeletei liked how your slogan related to you and i liked how in the end it helped you think more critically about media and how it is portrayed to appeal to a target audience.
ReplyDeleteamanda,
ReplyDeletei am glad that this experiment made you think about media in a mathy way! yay! also, i like the topic that you chose. all of your explanations and your synopses are well detailed. unfortunately, your truth table is missing several columns, but other than that, nice job!
