The pamphlet activity was intended to create an informational piece about one of the types of logical fallacies. Through this activity, it was a very effective method for understanding one of the logical fallacies, slippery slopes in my case. The formula portion basically showed me the format of how a slippery slope looks like. Knowing where slippery slopes are present also helped me to further understand the use of slippery slope and how it can be used to one's advantage. Knowing what a slippery slope sounds like plays a huge role on being able to spot slippery slopes in advertisements or on any platforms in general. I was able to research and learn more about topic and this activity was quite enjoyable too. Overall, pamphlets are a good way for the person creating it to get more familiar with a topic and for the readers to learn more about the topic. Regardless of the topic, it serves to inform the readers. For example, resorts for vacationing tend to have pamphlets to either display its beauty or activities one can do there. Normally, people wouldn't just choose a place, they would grab a pamphlet and see which whether the resort is convincing enough. One thing to note when looking at pamphlets is the speaker's use of logos or pathos. If the topic of a pamphlet was to answer a question or in general, inform the readers, then it would be reasonable to use logos to make the pamphlet effective. If the topic of a pamphlet was about persuading the audience for a cause, such as stopping bullying, then a more reasonable approach would be to use pathos to get the audience's support for the cause. Pamphlets generally all contains information and argues a topic.
