Critical Thinking Action Project

Finding fallacies in the prior assignment

In the Introduction the statement was made that because the two offices of ExtraVert are in different locations and have "different objectives" that strategic situation will "create tension and conflict, which detract from the objectives and mission of ExtraVert."

This phrase could raise the question as to the possibility that a "sweeping generalization" (Fullerton.edu) was made.

FOUR: Using the term "outrageous" in the sixth paragraph to make a point about a company's apparent failure to share business objectives with its foreign office can be considered "appealing to extremes" (Fullerton.edu). This approach argues for a particular point using an extreme emphasis. Taking another look at the term "outrageous" in this instance it could be considered….....
