Further Discusion

A topic that we have discussed that I believe needs further discussion is the slippery slope argument. In the book, it only gives one definition and it says that it "is a bad argument that uses a chain of condittionals, at least one of which is false or dubious "(Epstein 133). So I decided to do some research on the further definition of what is a slippery slope. According to my research, the slippery slope is if A occurs then the chances are mucher for B to occur as well. I found out that a slippery slope could also either have a fallacy or not. An example, if "a vase from the shelf falls down, it is more likely for the rest of the items on the shelves to fall down as well."A conjunction fallacy also relates to a slippery slope argument. A slippery slope argument basically means that if something happens that it will make something undirsarble to occur.
