	The [[Bandwagon Fallacy]] assumes something is true (or right or good) because others agree with it. In other words, the fallacy argues that if everyone thinks a certain way, then you should, too.

	One problem with this kind of reasoning is that the broad acceptance of a claim or action doesn't mean that it's factually justified. People can be mistaken, confused, deceived, or even willfully irrational in their opinions, so using them to make an argument is flawed.<ref>[https://thebestschools.org/magazine/15-logical-fallacies-know/#circular-argument Fallacies]</ref>		One problem with this kind of reasoning is that the broad acceptance of a claim or action doesn't mean that it's factually justified.

			==What Is a Logical Fallacy?==
			Logical fallacies are flawed, deceptive, or false arguments that can be proven wrong with reasoning. There are two main types of fallacies:

			* A formal fallacy is an argument with a premise and conclusion that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
			* An informal fallacy is an error in the form, content, or context of the argument.<ref>[https://thebestschools.org/magazine/15-logical-fallacies-know/#circular-argument Fallacies]</ref>

	Someone accused of a crime using a cane or walker to appear more feeble in front of a jury is one example of appeal to pity. The appearance of disability isn't an argument on the merits of the case, but it's intended to sway the jury's opinion anyway.

Begging the question

 ==Begging the question==
 Begging the question is a type of circular reasoning, an argument that requires that the desired conclusion be considered to be true, whether it is true or not. This often occurs in an indirect way such that the fallacy's presence is being hidden, or at least not easily apparent. Begging the question is often used to mean "raising the question" or "suggesting the question". Sometimes it is confused with "dodging the question", which is an evasion technique used in an attempt to avoid answering the question. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question Begging the question]</ref>

	Red herring is a kind of fallacy that is an irrelevant topic introduced in an argument to divert the attention of listeners or readers from the original issue.

	Manipulators use red herrings to lay a false trail leads people away from areas that you do not want them to see. To do this, the trail must be of sufficient interest that the other person misses any clues to other areas. Red herrings are particularly useful when the activity is time-bound. Time spent following the red herring is time that can not be spent looking in other areas. Talking about problems that are not really problems has effects beyond distraction. <ref>[http://changingminds.org/disciplines/storytelling/devices/red_herring.htm Red herring]</ref>		Manipulators use red herrings to lay a false trail that leads people away from areas that you do not want them to see.
