Assignment: In order to become more familiar with different types of argumentation, it will be helpful to apply our reading to some real world examples. For this first assignment, select five of the logical fallacies discussed in Chapter 3 of Weird Things. The fallacies are listed below and also detailed in Chapter 3. Then, for each logical fallacy you must find two examples of where it has been applied. You can gather your examples from any type of sources (videos, advertisements, etc.), but make sure you provide a way for the class to view it or locate it (screenshot, link, etc.). Please post your examples on the “Paper 1 Examples” Discussion Board. When you post your examples, be sure to indicate which logical fallacy you think the example is demonstrating. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
Initial Research: Sometimes it will take a keen eye to spot these fallacies, but for others it will be quite obvious when you see them. You may run across an example unintentionally! When you think you notice an example of a fallacy, jot down where you found it and what struck you as illogical.
Summary Details: In each fallacy summary, you must include a description of the summary you are using in your own words. Do not copy the definition from the book. Then, explain how your example utilizes the fallacy. Be sure you identify the specific moment where your sample used a logical fallacy and veered off track. Finally, suggest one way you could make the example more logical.

Strategic Linkages

 

From today?s business world many organization’s HR departments are viewed as strategic partners within the organization. HR works with senior management in establishing the strategic direction of the organization. This exercise will engage you to go beyond the traditional administrative view of HR and to begin linking the vital, strategic role an HR department plays within an organization.
Here are several tips for successfully completing this case study.
You should incorporate information from the textbook, the lectures, and/or the discussions to support your position.
Make sure to fully explore your thoughts with each question.
Your answer for EACH question must be within the range of 150 to 250 words (use MS Word?s word count feature on the Review tab to ensure that your answer is not too brief or too verbose). Be sure to answer each question fully as you are subject to point deductions for incomplete answers. Use 1.5 line spacing. Also, please remember that you will be using information supporting your position from sources such as our textbook, articles, and the Internet. You MUST use proper APA citations and references. See the Syllabus for an APA tutorial. Also, do not rely too heavily on borrowed material. It should NOT dominate your work. Point deductions will occur if more than 15% of the answer is borrowed. I want to read YOUR thoughts on these questions.
After reviewing the Strategic Linkages presentation, answer the following learning questions:
1. Why do you think it is important for HR to be a strategic partner to the business?
2. What benefits do you think the employees derive from this arrangement?
3.What do you think are the risks involved (to HR and the organization as a whole) if HR does not make this a priority and instead remains a purely task-oriented department mostly administrative in nature?
You must NUMBER your responses on your assignment. You do not need to repeat the questions above
