what’s a false dichotomy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A false dilemma (sometimes called false dichotomy) is a type of informal, correlative-based fallacy in which a statement falsely claims or assumes an "either/or" situation, when in fact there is at least one additional logically valid option.

Explanation:

I hope this helps you :)

Answer 2
A false dichotomy is assuming that two objects or ideas are essentially antonyms or mean the exact opposite of one another when this isn’t the case. Example: “you are either with me or you are against me.” Depending on the circumstances, there’s no reason for that to be logically the case. I should certainly be able to be neutral, at least theoretically. But by setting up the choice that way it creates a false dichotomy based on an incorrect assumption, which must either be corrected or the argument finished because it doesn’t any longer have any practical application.

A true dichotomy would be the fact that the earth is made of two more or less equal hemispheres, the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. They are different inasmuch as their existence depends on them being different. This is “true” without having to give the matter much thought. And boring. There’s a northern hemisphere and a southern one. Yawn.

This is the reason that we almost never hear about true dichotomies and we almost always hear about false dichotomies: false dichotomies are controversial because they attempt to make a false equivalence, usually in comparing things that are not appropriate to compare. Many voters in the U.S. created a false dichotomy based on a false equivalence leading up to the election by saying that a vote for either would, at best, elect the lesser of two evils. And we all know how that’s going.

Creating false dichotomies is intervening in the way language likes to behave. Language exists to be clear and understood. Running around lying about stuff that doesn’t make sense, while accomplishing much of the agenda behind it, shoots itself in the foot by debilitating anybody’s ability to appear trustworthy and well-intentioned.

Hope this helps

A New England Nun
by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman

In about half an hour Joe Dagget came. She heard his heavy step on the walk and rose and took off her pink and white apron. Under that was still another—white linen with a little cambric edging on the bottom; that was Louisa's company apron. She never wore it without her calico sewing apron over it unless she had a guest. She had barely folded the pink and white one with methodical haste and laid it in a table drawer when the door opened and Joe Dagget entered. He seemed to fill up the whole room. A little yellow canary that had been asleep in his green cage at the south window woke up and fluttered wildly, beating his little yellow wings against the wires. He always did so when Joe Dagget came into the room.

"Good-evening," said Louisa. She extended her hand with a kind of solemn cordiality.

"Good-evening, Louisa," returned the man, in a loud voice.

She placed a chair for him, and they sat facing each other, with the table between them. . . .

Presently, Dagget began fingering the books on the table. There was a square red autograph album and a Young Lady's Gift-Book, which had belonged to Louisa's mother. He took them up one after the other and opened them; then laid them down again, the album on the Gift-Book.

Louisa kept eyeing them with mild uneasiness. Finally she rose and changed the position of the books, putting the album underneath. That was the way they had been arranged in the first place.

Dagget gave an awkward little laugh. "Now what difference did it make which book was on top?" he said.

Louisa looked at him with a deprecating smile. "I always keep them that way," she murmured.

"You do beat everything," said Dagget, trying to laugh again. His large face was flushed.


Adapted from Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's "A New England Nun," 1899.

A.)He is excited to read Louisa’s books.
B.)He is uncomfortable in Louisa's house.
C.)He feels awkward about expressing his love for Louisa.
D.)Louisa amuses him and makes him laugh.

THEORIES OF EMOTION

an emotion such as happiness or sadness, is a subjective experienced that is associated with some psychological change in arousal and some characteristic behavior. For example, a feeling of happiness is generally accompained by a decrease in heart rate, indicating a deacrease in arousal, and a smile, an overt behavior. fear is generally associated with, among other psychological effects, an increase in heart rate and clenched teeth.

do we smile because we are happy or do we are happy because we smile? theories of emotion differ in terms of whether the emotion leads to psylogical and behavioral changes or the other way around. according to the theory, the facial feedback theory which has its roots in the writtings and theories of charles darwin and william james, emotion can be regulated by behavior, particularly by facial expression.

into other parts of speech.

prevalence → verb
potentially → noun
vulnerable noun
accessible verb
censorship → adverb
volunteer → adjective
dubious → noun
system adjective
regular verb
suitability → verb​

Answers

Answer:

prevalence → verb → to prevail

potentially → noun → potential

vulnerable → noun → vulnerability

accessible → verb → to access

censorship → adverb → censorious

volunteer → adjective → voluntary

dubious → noun → dubiousness

system → adjective → systematic

regular → verb → to regulate

suitability → verb​ → to suit

Explanation:

In the English language, especially when it comes to words originated from Latin, it is common to change words with the addition or removal of certain parts -- the affixes. Notice, for example, that to transform "vulnerable" into a noun, we added a suffix (an ending): "vulnerability". On the other hand, to transform "censorship" into an adverb, we changed suffixes: "censorious". It is important to know and understand the use of affixes. They are a helpful means to figure out the meanings of new words.
