EXAMPLES
 BEGGING THE
QUESTION
Begging the question fallacy occurs when
we use the claim we are trying to prove as a
premise in order to prove the very same
claim. In other words, we assume that a
premise is true in order to justify an
argument.
 BEGGING THE QUESTION

Begging the question fallacy is also known as

petitio principii (Latin for “assuming the
original point”) or “chicken and the egg
argument” and is generally considered a form
of circular reasoning.

FALSE CAUSE AND
EFFECT AND ITS
EXAMPLES
FALSE CAUSE AND EFFECT
False cause and effect fallacies are a type
of logical fallacy where a person
mistakenly believes that one event
caused another without sufficient
evidence or logical connection between
the two events. In other words, the person
assumes a causal relationship between
two events when there isn't one.
FALSE CAUSE AND EFFECT
"Post hoc ergo propter hoc" is a Latin phrase
that means "after this, therefore because of this."
It is a logical fallacy that suggests that one event
caused another event simply because it
occurred after it.

This fallacy assumes that because one event

followed another, the first event caused the
second. However, correlation does not imply
causation. Just because A happened before B
doesn't mean that A caused B.
