Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 12 hours apart:

1). (Concerning Chapter 11) Violating the Principle of Rational Discussion (page 202) and Content Fallacies (page 201). Pick on, explain the fallacy in your own words, then give a real world example that you have heard in the past. (You may need to do additional online research for the fallacy that you have chosen, if the concept is not clear from the text. You can 'google' the particular fallacy you have chosen for an additional explanation).

2). Concerning Section C in Chapter 5, Advertising on the Internet. Please find a piece of advertising on the internet, provide a link on your blog, screenshot, or include the advertisement in your post, so the class can see what you are discussing. You should then relate the piece of advertising back to the concepts in Sections A and B in Chapter 5. Be sure to discuss the advertising and the concepts you are covering.

3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

***Remember to post 3 comments to your colleagues blogs this week. As a reminder, the comments must be about the discussion this week. Posting on a past discussion will NOT count for credit.
