Okay guys, so were supposed to find an example of Logical Fallacies. I wasn't smart enough to think of one myself so I asked one of the wisest people I know. NICKI (my mom brouhaha)!!!!!
She gave me the extremely interesting idea of emotions as being an error in logic. She said...We assume people will behave logically, such as driving in rush hour traffic. We know about the fact that its time consuming yet we still get angry when it takes forever yet we logically know that it is slow.
This is a good example but you can also look in a more general perspective. We think about things all the time logically yet we still let our emotions get in the way of everything whihc invitably denies our logic. It's something we all do and can't change.

You(or your mom) definitely used critical thinking here which goes along with what the guy in the video( I don't know his name, help me Mr.Wall) said because he stated something along the lines of "Critical thinking is the single most important driver in advancement in the human race" which I think is very relevant. Using your critical thinking, as you did here, allows us to better understand situations and attempt to fix or at least comprehend why things happen the way they do or why we behave the way we do. Thinking this way will eventually adavance our human race!
ReplyDeleteI agree with these statements. Its just like we always use 'being in love' as an excuse for eradical behavior such as, i don't know, going out on a date the night before a big test. But yes, also stress is a large one that effects us.
