Bom! Baby! Bom

Hooray this is the last day and the last blog of the critical thinking assignment !!!! Actually I did not have any idea what to type for today, the last blog for the assignment. Is quite hard and difficult to think my daily life related in critical thinking. But now in my mine is full of fallacies, ad populum, ad hominem.....

Now a day people like kickboxing very much, especially young people!

Everybody in MMU who think they are cool did join the kickboxing lesson every Thursday night. So if you think you are cool enough you should join the kickboxing!

I think I'm very cool person so I had join the kickboxing so do you.

Bandwagon Argument which is appealing to a person's desire to be popular or part of the 'in crowd,' rather than to relevant reasons or evidence.

I meet my friend !!!

Today I meet my friend,Clifford in KTM Serdang! He is my formal schoolmate in secondary school.

I still remember his whole family who all is lecturer. His parents working as a lecturer in University Putra Malaysia and his brother and sister working in National University of Singapore as lecturer.
Clifford and I lost contact a mean while, these few years we did not keep in touch at all.

I'm so curious that what occupation will he work since his family member all are lecturer. He told me that he is a teacher in Nanyang High School at Singapore and he told me that he going to study again to reply as a lecturer.

Wow what a family who all working as an education section!


*Material fallacies* - Ad Populum Common Tradition
(this fallacies is attempts to persuade you to do or believe something because it is supposed to be consistent with the traditions and customs in a society, or in a family or in another type of group.)

While Buying Skin Food Product........

Today I went to The Mines with my sister. We went there to buy some personal care at Skin Food. Before that we pass by a shop, a promoter standing outside the shop. When she saw us passing by, she quickly come towards and promote her product, THE ONE PRODUCT . The sales girl at there keep on hard sell her product, although we are not interested with it.

She say:"Girls, you should buy our products. It is all made from natural and no chemical or alcohol in our product. It is also can help us soothe and reduce blemishes for clear healthy skin.

We told her:" Sorry we are not interested."

But she keep on hard sell her product.

My sister and I both of us know that she so hard sell her product because she will get commission. Is not her product not good enough is just that we are not interested in her product.

MATERIAL COMMON - AD HOMINEM FALLACY (CIRCUMTANTIAL)
This fallacies is to attacks the other person's "credibility" which is someone who can't be "believed"

Wow you so graceful , hardworking..........

Wow, shu ting you are the one so charm and hardworking people that I haven't meet before in my life!

Thank you so much for all the work you had done for me especially being same group with you.

Since you are so charm and graceful, I think maybe you can do the group assignment by yourself.

Ad populum appeal to vanity
the flatting words simply aren't relevant to the truth of an idea or validity of a position.

Rain Rain Go Away .................

Now a day, every time at 4pm will rain heavily. I very lazy to bring sweater and umbrella along. But if I don't bring the umbrella along then I will be caught in the rain. I will not be caught in the rain. Therefore, I had to bring along the umbrella.

Common Pattern - Deductive - Hypothetical(Modus Tollens)
*denying the consequent*

If A then B.
Not B.
Therefore, not A.

Erm .... can you answer properly ?????

While I'm having dinner







with my friend, Shu Ting, Siao Boon and Pui Yieng,

I asked Shu Ting: " What time are you going to the meeting?"
She said : " as soon as possible."

What did she mean as soon as possible? Can she tell the proper time?

Later on I ask her again :"when can you give me your draft jingle?"
You know what she reply? She said:"later."

I ask her:" Then what did you kind of the song did you choose as your background music?"
She said:" Mp3 music."

Wow she is using Overgenerality for the whole communication.

Overgenerality
words are vague if they have fuzzy or inexact boundaries and hence give rise to unclear borderline cases.

Which one I should go first?

Today I have an on-air test of cantonese slot and Rynn Lim's music sharing. Both of it is so important for me.

The on-air test will start on 8.30pm however the music sharing start at 7.30pm. Which one I should go first?

I make a decision that normally the music sharing won't be punctual so I decided go to the studio first.
After the on-air test then only I go to Rynn Lim's music sharing.
Wow what a wonderful day!

The Sequential Relationship

Now a day lishin and l like this.......

LiShin vs LiPing ( LiShin -WIN )

I found out Li Shin always used Petitio Principii ( Circular Argument) when I argue with her she always in the situation of win.

Which started like this:

Me: Hey, you should switch off the light and sleep now!

Li Shin: I should't sleep now because I have assignment to do now.I
have assignment to do now because I went shopping with you guys the whole day. I went shopping with you guys so I should not sleep
now to complete my assignment.

Me: But you still can sleep now and wake up early tomorrow to do your assignment!

Li Shin: I can't sleep now because I can't wake up early tomorrow.
If I can't wake up early tomorrow I can't complete my
assignment. I can't complete my assignment I'll fail my
assignment marks. So to avoid failing assignment marks I
can't sleep now.

Me: Alright you want to do your assignment is your business.
But please stop using CIRCULAR ARGUMENT! Switch off the light now I want to sleep and it is too bright for me now!

Li Shin: If I switch off the light......

Me: STOP IT! I sleep with Keh Shin now and you continue your
assignment! GOOD NIGHT!!!!!!!!! Wooo I lose again.......

Circular Argument
A is true, because B is true. And B is true because G is true. And G is true because A is true.

Shopping or back to hostel ?????

Today morning I'm still in a happy mood.
Suddenly my eldest sister, Keh Shin suggest want to go to The Mines for shopping.
She ask me want to follow her shopping or send me back to campus?
Huh...... I suddenly remember a poem that I had learn while I'm in form 4 which is The Road Not Taken.
I'm in this situation now! I hate to make decision.......







Turn right is shopping turn left is going back to campus.

SHOPPING OR GOING BACK TO CAMPUS?

Which way I should take?

After an hour later I made a decision which is shopping first then only back to campus.
Hahaha is it a good decision?

(Compound Claims: Disjunctives)
two or more statement set apart, usually by the word 'or'.

Huh! Which are you talking about?

It still happen at Mid Valley.

Li Shin just pop up the sentence :" I want to eat "Mee Sua" but while I see this I feel I deserve it because I should't buy too many donuts in one time.

"Huh what are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that while you see "Mee Sua" you feel deserve or you feel deserve because of buying too many donuts in one time?" I asked.

Li Shin is making me confuse that she mansion "this" may refer to "Mee Sua" or donuts that still make sense.

Did she know that she is using Fallacies of Ambiguity!!!!


FALLACIES OF AMBIGUITY
WHICH ONE ARE YOU TALKING?

MY FORBEAR IS DONUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is National Day. I follow my sisters (Keh Shin and Li Shin) and my eldest sister's boyfriend to Midvally.

While we arrived at lower ground floor where the Big Apple located she stop there and say : "You guys go shop your own, I want to queue up to buy donuts."

After half an hour I saw her holding a big plastic bag of Big Apple. Inside the plastic bag I saw 2 box of donuts.

So I ask her :" How many donuts are there? "

She said :" Just 18 piece of donuts."

"What 18 piece! Are you kidding? Just 4 of us and you buy 18 piece of donuts! How are we going to finish the donuts?" I yelled.

At the end of the day we still haven't finish eating the donuts........

Li Shin beg at us :" Please don't left the donuts (still left 3 piece) for me! I feel want to vomit if having another piece of donuts. I'll be having forbear if I see donuts or even pass by the Big Apple.

Hey, she is using Material Fallacies, Ad Populum Appeal to Pity!

My eldest sister and I can't stand Li Shin begging so on and so on so we decided to help her finish the 3 piece donuts. Since Li Shin buy the donuts for us to eat.
Finally, we ate finish the donuts before midnight. Thank God we no need having the donuts as tomorrow breakfast!

*ps : Actually I hate donuts and also have forbear of it, after eating the donuts for whole day.
Because having 4-5 piece of donuts in 1 day!!!!

I HATE DONUTS!!!!!!!!


Ad Populum appeal to Pity
known as misericordiam fallacy
to gain sympathy

Hey, you are the one like this!!!!!

TU QUOQUE FALLACY
Attacking same mistake



Hey, girl you should eat more! You look very skinny! Are you on diet?

Excuse me, are you telling me I should be eating more?
Well, you look like the one who very skinny, on diet and you are the one who should eat more!!!!!
NOT ME!!!

After Blood Donation *.....*

Analysing Argument - Assessment (simile and metaphor)
creating images to convey our ideas.

After blood donation my face turn pale and feel dizzy .

My friend, Shu Ting said : "Hey, Liping why you looked like just seen a ghost! Are you alright?"

I told her :"Hey, come on ! Come and take me to somewhere else to rest I almost want to faint if you just standing there and looking at me like this!"

IF YOU STILL STARING AT ME LIKE THIS AND DID NOT DO ANY ACTION I SWEAR AFTER A SECOND YOU'LL BE SEEING A REAL "GHOST " LYING ON THE FLOOR.

Do Revision Anot?????

COMMON PATTERN - DEDUCTIVE (HYPOTHETICAL SYLLOGISM)
CHAIN ARGUMENT

If A then B.
If B then C.
Therefore if A then C.

If today i didn't do the revision of Management subject then i'll not understanding the question asking about.

If i don't understand the question how am i going to answer then i'll fail this subject.

Therefore, if i didn't do the revision of Management subject then i'll fail this subject.

What a poor baby !!!!

RELATIONSHIP-THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP
The key word to figure out the relationship between this pair of sentence is 'therefore'.
They are signaling that the idea in their sentence was caused by the ideas in the preceding sentence.


WHO CAN HELP THIS POOR BABY?????

What a pity baby who stuck inside a toilet bowl !!!!
It very make scene that the baby boy who is a hyper active baby.
Therefore, he stuck inside the toilet bowl.
