Well, I'm not really one for celebrity articles but I did my best to try and find an article that was interesting for me. Turns out I found one about Sean Combs or more commonly known as "P. Diddy". There are many fallacies in this article so shall we begin?
1. Hasty Generalization
"He's still making a lot of money (he made more $$ in the past year than Jay-Z)"
The is a fallacy of hasty generalization because even though the article says that P. Diddy is making more money than Jay-Z, it doesn't give us the amount of money or the exact differential. P. Diddy, has t be working really hard to have made more money than Jay-Z because a lot of people would consider him one of the greatest rappers of all time therefor streaming his music more than P.Diddy.
2. Bandwagon
"So is it cool to like Puffy again? I think so."
How can one go from not liking someone to all of a sudden liking them again. It's like a Golden State Warrior fan not liking Kevin Durant all these years, but as soon as he switches teams and starts playing for them, you all of a sudden like him and are a big fan. That's what's going on here. The phrase "So is it ok to like Puffy again?" signifies people didn't like him, but since he's making money and doing a lot of good things, it's okay to like him.
3. Accent
"It’s true and it’s brutal that this is our world."
Right here there's an accent on "brutal" because the author is trying to emphasize that P. Diddy's statements are true, especially "There’s gonna come a day when you can’t keep killing our kids." and saying that it's unfortunate it's a reality. It's making sure that people come to a realization and we need to start making a change for the greater good.
