This Wiki has TWO parts:

Why do you think others may (or may not) be convinced?

2) Develop a “marketing campaign” for a product or service in which you intentionally utilize a logical fallacy to persuade consumers. This can be in the form of word document.

3. Two fallacies I chose were (Red Herring) and (Appeal to Popularity). You can use either one.

4. List References
