QNo1:
3 New Fallacies:
THE CASUAL FALLACY:
Any logical breakdown when identifying a cause , you can think of casual fallacy as
a apparent category for several fallacies about unproven causes.
EXAMPLE:
“ Ali isn’t at school today, he must be with his friends today “.

THE FAULT/ RESPONSIBILITY FALLACY: (taken from a book)

when people pass of their problems and responsibilities to others for solving is
known as the fault fallacy.
EXAMPLE:
“ I couldn’t finish my work on time and it’s all because you are here”

EITHER OR FALLACY , also known as WHITE AND BLACK

FALLACY:
This is achieved or accomplished through limiting ones option to only 2 while
there are many other exisiting.
EXAMPLE:
“Either you are obsessed, or not”
“Either you love me, or you do not”

Q No 2:
3 New PARADDOXES:
Literary Paradox:

This is a nice literary paradox, but not a logical one. Cruel and kind are
apparent contradictions, but of course it’s perfectly logical to say that one must
be cruel in order to be kind .
Example: “one must be cruel to be kind”

Dilemma Paradox:

In a dilemma, we may have conflicting needs or desires, but those desires are logically
compatible, so there’s no logical paradox. Moreover, the dilemma involves two possible
solutions, not one actual situation, so there’s no literary paradox either.

Example:
say a single dad wants to provide for his kids with a better job, but in order to do that he
needs to go back to school, which will take him away from his kids. Should he spend more
time with them? Or go back to school, get a better job, and give them a better life? It’s a
difficult choice and a dilemma.

Juxtaposition Paradox:
When an author places two or more disparate elements next to one another,
this is referred to as juxtaposition, but it can also fall under the broad definition
of literary paradox.

Example:

group of anti-war protesters surrounded by soldiers who are pointing rifles at

them, with one man out of the crowd placing flowers in the barrel of each gun.
The image juxtaposes violence against the gentle harmlessness of flowers
