False analogy

A false analogy is a misleading notion in which an argument is based on deceptive, superficial, or unlikely comparisons. An example of false analogy is 'people are like dogs. False analogies respond best to clear discipline. Other example is that the husband said to his wife that she is his hart that is a true analogy.

Question 1

Albert Gore is an American politician, advocate and philanthropist, who served as the 45th Vice President of the United States (1993–2001), under President Bill Clinton; he made a presentation about the environment and he wrote a book also. The presentation talked about what is happening to the environment and how the humans are harming the place they live in.

Albert Gore made a research about how the environment was in the past and how it is in the present. Also he predicts how our life and our environment will be in the future if we don’t make a decision to protect it.

 

 

Question3

My opinion in this movie is positive. I think the decision maker should have an action to save our land home. Also all the people around the world have to take some responsibility; the movie was very useful. On the other hand the affair should be studied in more than one way. In general the movie was very good.
