Thank You For Arguing Essay “Thank you for arguing‚ what Aristotle‚ Lincoln‚ and Homer Simpson can teach us about the art of persuasion.”‚ is an interesting book that Jay Heinrichs wrote about persuasion and debate.

People who uses rhetoric‚ the art of argument‚ tends to succeed in persuading others to do their bidding. Many powerful politicians today mastered this tool. The most

One of these fallacies is called Tautology‚ which repeats the same idea over again. An example of a Tautology is “The Cowboys are favored to win since they’re the better team”(155). To add on‚ another fallacy is False Comparison‚ which is defined as a comparison of two alike ideas so they must be the same. A part of false comparison is False Analogy that is basically an argument
