A fallacy is a part of an argument that usually doesn’t make sense or tries to deceive its audiences. Some fallacies can be accidental, but sometimes that can be purposely used in an attempt to further persuade an audience. If a fallacy is detected then the argument is weakened and the audience begins to question the credibility of the author. Most of the time a fallacy is not detected because the reader or listener may just be casually reading or listening. They can be found in almost every newspaper, journal, and advertisements.
