I need some help on a big assignment due tomorrow in my History Critical thinking class. I have to define 8 terms + define “Critical Thinking” and “Inferred Justification/Motivated Reasoning.” So a total of 10 terms. After I give the definition of each I have to give two specific examples to the topic of the course from the media ( ex newspaper, film, speeches, books, etc) Then I must explain the significance of each and how it pertains to the term and definition. Also, of course, I must include a citation. So if you can help me out or give me an example please include a source.

So the ten:

  1. Critical Thinking
  2. Inferred Justification/Motivated reasoning
  3. Ad Hominem
  4. Straw person
  5. Equivocation
  6. Obfuscation
  7. Non-sequitor
  8. False Dilemma
  9. Red Herring
  10. Slippery Slope
  11. Glittering Generality
  12. Wishful thinking
  13. Oversimplification[/quote]

This qualifies as a “big” assignment? [/quote]

So critietaeta’s guess was pretty close then.
