Description

This paper aims to explore the occurrence and impact of logical fallacies in daily life. Logical 
fallacies are dominant in everyday conversations, media, and decision-making processes. The 
research problem is that: Why do logical fallacies persist in daily life, and how to avoid these 
fallacies in human reasoning, decision-making, and interpersonal interactions? The research 
finding is that fallacies often distort reasoning and affect judgment, leading to illogical 
conclusions. This paper argues that while logical fallacies are a natural part of human discourse, 
being aware of them can help individuals improve their critical thinking and decision-making 
skills. This paper used both descriptive and evaluative methods to explore various logical 
fallacies, providing an in-depth analysis of their impact on decision-making and 
communication. This study contributes to the understanding of how fallacious reasoning shapes 
our beliefs and social dynamics, suggesting ways to minimize their impact on rational thinking.
