By Saturday, July 9, 2016, of Module 2, post in the Discussion Area at least one current day advertisement where the Argument by Authority fallacy is present. Describe the syllogism that makes this a fallacy. Take care to be certain that you post an Argument by Authority fallacy only.

By Tuesday, July 12, 2016, post a critique of at least two other students’ posts. Have they found solid examples of argument by authority, are there other fallacies present, or are the advertisements well written, with a true authority in place as needed?

Discussion question responses should be at least one half double spaced page in length. Your responses to your peers’ writing should be a substantive paragraph in length and should include specifics from the text if you are attempting to make a point.
