Logical Fallacies

Fallacies are common flaws in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your argument. Fallacies can be either illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their claim. Logical fallacies are like tricks or illusions of thought, and they’re often very sneakily used by politicians and the media to fool people. Here are some of the most common fallacies that will help you identify flawed logic, strengthen your arguments and make better decisions.
