Logical fallacy in an advertisement.

Posted on | by

 

One of the many problems with fallacious reasoning is that it often seems reasonable. Politicians and advertisers can often take advantage of that to get us to agree with them when they are using (intentionally or otherwise) fallacious reasoning.

 

Consider the old piece of advertising above. When this ad was used, doctors were among the most highly-respected professionals in a community. Their opinions were often held as being more important or better than those of other people, even in subjects for which they were not experts. This is an example of an argument from authority fallacy, suggesting that because doctors are respected professionals, their opinion on cigarette brands should be respected as well.

Initial Post:
Find an example of a logical fallacy in an advertisement. Print ads or video ads can be used, and either the ad itself or a link to a video ad should be included in your discussion.
What fallacy (or fallacies) is being used in the advertisement? Explain specifically how the fallacy is being used and what effect this might have on a viewer.
How could the advertiser make the same argument without using fallacious reasoning?
Is this advertising technique dishonest?

 

Information security is an essential part of a business’s operations.

Posted on | by

The hard reality of information security today is this: “Bad things will happen!” You must be prepared to handle these “bad things,” such as hacks, security vulnerabilities, data breaches, insider threats, employee errors, privacy mistakes, etc. All of these bad things can cause irreparable damage to a business, and this is why information security is such a vital service for every organization.

Information security is based on three “pillars”:

Confidentiality of data
Integrity of data
Availability of data
In its most basic form, information security seeks to enable the business or organization to remain in business. To do so, it must cover threats to an organization’s information systems, including people, software assets, hardware assets, procedures, and data. With the inclusion of people and procedures, information security is no longer relegated to overseeing technology risks but must also consider physical security controls and administrative controls (human resources practices, policies, education, training, etc.).

The threats are many, including natural disasters, sabotage, industrial espionage, and cyber-crime, which might target your intellectual property or your organization’s finances. The means by which these incidents might occur range from happenstance to repeated, deliberate, and focused attacks on your technology (such as hacks or malware) and/or people (social engineering) by determined threat agents.

For this Discussion, you will analyze current trends in the field of information security. You will examine the three pillars of information security and the threats to these pillars, and you will investigate gaps between existing defenses and emerging security threats that businesses must understand and prepare for.

To Prepare:

Read this week’s resources, keeping in mind the three pillars of information security.
3–4 paragraphs that analyze current trends in the field of information security, examine the three pillars of information security and the threats to these pillars, and investigate gaps between existing defenses and emerging security threats.

You’ve been studying hormones, homeostasis, and feedback loops. Let’s concentrate on glucose regulation. Diabetes is a very serious disease that is on the rise, particularly type 2 diabetes; not only in our own country, but around the world. Please visit this website and then discuss the questions below.

https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/overview

Can you draw on your own experiences or the experiences of someone you know to explain diabetes? What is hyperglycemia? Use the website above to explain how a patient can lower his or her blood glucose during hyperglycemia. There is a lot of information on this page. Please go beyond just giving the four or five main steps to control diabetes. Why do you think it is important to control diabetes to prevent hyperglycemia?

If you can, please include a discussion of your own experience with diabetes. Does someone you know suffer from this condition? How does he or she have to adjust his or her lifestyle?

 

 

Trust is an important part of the continued growth and development of the Internet

Posted on | by admin3

Trust is an important part of the continued growth and development of the Internet. This is particularly the case with respect to social networking. Media reports of disturbing stories and case law alike have shown some of the consequences that can arise when individuals create false social networking profiles. In a case in California, and individual established a fake MySpace profile of his former church pastor. On the profile, he posted content that suggested that the pastor used drugs and was homosexual. Can criminal charges be brought against the party that created the fake profile?
