Discussion #3

3) A concept in Chapter 5 that i found interesting was, bad appeals to authority. An appeal to authority is when someone accepts a claim just because a person they believe to have an authority to do so have stated the claim.This is interesting to me because many people follow this in their daily life. Many people follow what people say because they believe that the claim is right. Alot of people believe in an authoritys claim because they feel that they have the right to state that claim and that they may be automatically correct because they are authority and they are much smarter than say someone our age. However, in my opinion just because an authority states a claim does not mean that it is necessarily true.
