speech. The debate is closed with
the affirmative side delivering the
last rebuttal.

the Lincoln-Douglas type of debate.

there are about two to three members
in both the affirmative and the
negative side. In this debate, all
of the speakers have a chance to
refute the argument of the opponent
with the exception of the first
affirmative speaker who is given the
opportunity to close the debate in
his or her rebuttal speech.

43. FALLACIES IN DEBATE

There are different kinds of
fallacies but below are the
commonly encountered fallacies in
any argumentation.
44. FALLACIES IN DEBATE
AD HOMINEM- is the fallacy committed
when one party attacks the character of the
other party for the purpose of making the
argument of that other party weak.
EXAMPLE:
I cannot accept the argument of Capt. Juan
Dela Cruz to implement zero alcohol policy on
board since he himself is an alcoholic.
45. POST HOC
Is the fallacy committed when one party
considers the fact or situation that occurred
before as the cause of the occurence of
another situation without significant basis.
EXAMPLE: I believe that this technical
problem occured due to our newly-embarked
master. I am certain, for this
problem only occured two days after his
embarkmention. He is probably a bad luck.
46. AD POPULUM

party attempts to win an argument by
citing that most or a lot of people
believe in a certain position, as in
bandwagon fallacy.
EXAMPLE:
Everybody is drinking on board. I
should join them.
47. AD MISERICORDIAM

party uses an argument that appeals
to pity or related emotion in order
to convince and thus influence the
other party to give into will of the
former.
48. AD MISERICORDIAM
EXAMPLE:
I believe we should give him a
chance. I know the problem
occurred out of negligence. Yet we
need to consider his goodness. He
has been with us for several months
and he has been so good to us. He
has been helpful to us somehow.
What will happen to him if we will
recommend him for repatriation?
Anyway, nobody was hurt in that
incident.
49. AD BACULUM

party uses threat to invoke fear in

ethics. Yet you need to give me a
chance. Otherwise, I will inform
