Ever since I was young, I loved to fight. Quarrels, fist-fights, arguments, you name it. My grandparents have always told me that I "bicker" too often, and I thought to myself...well maybe they are right. I love defending my opinion because the thought of winning satisfies me until the very end. My grandparents and my parents were struggling in Vietnam in order to defend themselves against the harsh dictatorship of the communists in that country. This can be further alluded to the Great Depression that happened in the United States, where all money was lost for citizens. This further influenced my grandparents to flee Vietnam, and move to America, where they would have a better life, with freedom, something that a lot of humans don't have. Usually, when you strongly disagree with someone over a heated problem, it is simple to lose sight of your opponent’s logical argument and instead argue against their demeanor. In the advertisement I posted above, is an example of a slippery-slope logical fallacy. Logical fallacies are basically flawed methods in order to use as a basis for someone's argument. A slippery-slope logical fallacy is when someone claims that one event occurs after the other in chronological order, for example, "If A occurs, then B occurs, which causes C to occur, and therefore D will result". The event "D" is usually something negative, in which no one would want to happen. Looking at the advertisement, if you are not religious, then it is considered treason, and therefore a Civil War will occur. This widely influences people to be religious, because no one would want a second war among the citizens to occur, because it is a harsh blood battle.
