Slippery Slope
Fallacies are bad arguments that cannot be repaired. There are there types of fallacies which are Structural, Content, and Violating the Principle of rational discussion. When looking under Content fallacies there you can find slippery slope. Slippery slope is when reasoning happens to where the conclusion is false. For Example, the argument starts with a claim that is true but exaggerates jumping to a not related/possible conclusion. When people say : “Do not be nice to strangers people! If you do, they kill you” or “If the government helps the poor. Then the poor, will use all the government’s money,” they are making conclusions that are not supported and are an extreme from the claim. When people make either claim about people using all the governments money for just helping the poor they are jumping to extremes about a simple help to a group. Also, when people say that being nice to strangers will get you kill is a slippery slope because they there is no support that all strangers kill you.
