The logical fallacy of Appeal to Bandwagon has happened in my life, and to my advantage! My boyfriend never liked football. He says the players get paid to much. I love to watch the vikings play. It used to be that when I watched football, he would go somewhere else and do something else. After years of me watching football, my boyfriend slowly started to watch. Now he watches most games with me! I must say however, that he does spend most of the game rooting for the other team! I think he just does that to get my goat. But at least he is watching football now.
I think that logical fallacies happen all the time. I believe people are mostly oblivious to them now and don't even notice most of the time. Politians try to blur your perspective during campaigns by condemning their opponant. Children are fooled by the logical fallacy of faulty reasoning. They believe if they have what everyone else has, they will be popular.
Sound reasoning is also called logos
Emotional appeals are pathos
Persona (also known as ethos) - using ethical appeals
