Seminar 2 | English homework help
In the Unit 2 Seminar, we will discuss thesis statements, logical fallacies, and the benefits of using research to support arguments. Bring a possible thesis statement for discussion!
We will also be discussing the article on graphic warnings by O’Hegarty , et al. The article concludes that the U.S. should use graphic warnings because graphic warnings are likely to be effective in the U.S. Is the research valid? Does it have any weaknesses? Could the hypothesis be tested further? Would the use of graphic warnings be an example of the “appeal to fear” fallacy and, if so, would using them in an anti-smoking campaign be ethical?

Seminar option 2:
Review the Seminar archive and come up with three questions you still have about logical fallacies and research.
Then, discuss the article on graphic warnings by O’Hegarty et al. The article concludes that the U.S. should use graphic warnings because graphic warnings are likely to be effective in the U.S. Is the research valid? Does it have any weaknesses? Could the hypothesis be tested further? Would the use of graphic warnings be an example of the “appeal to fear” fallacy and, if so, would using them in an anti-smoking campaign be ethical?
Your response should be 250-300 words
