Red Herring Fallacy Examples

1. Son: "Wow, Dad, it's really hard to make a living on my salary." Father: "Consider yourself lucky, son. Why, when I was your age, I only made $40 a week."

2. Senator Clark: "Why are you not willing to support the antiabortion amendment? Don't you have any feelings at all for the unborn children whose lives are being indiscriminately blotted out?" Senator Rich: "I just don't understand why you people who get so worked up about lives being blotted out by abortion don't have the same feelings about the thousands of lives that are blotted out every year by the indiscriminate use of handguns. Is not the issue of the sanctity of human life involved in both issues? Why have you not supported us in our efforts at gun-control legislation?"

3. Student: "The opinions of the students are completely ignored in the process of determining both curricular changes and social programs. The students should have a much greater voice in campus governance, because we have a very great stake in this institution, and we think that we have a positive contribution to make." Professor: "The faculty are the ones who need a greater voice. Professors can be fired without explanation, and they have no control over who is promoted or given tenure. Their opinions about budgetary allotments are completely ignored. Why aren't you concerned about the injustice the faculty is experiencing?"

4. Daughter: "I'm so hurt that Todd broke up with me, Mom." Mother: "Just think of all the starving children in Africa, honey. Your problems will seem pretty insignificant then."

5. Ms. Olive has objected to my views on capital punishment by trying to show that the taking of human life, legally or illegally, cannot be ethically justified. But the matter is really simple, isn't it? Murderers certainly aren't ethically justified in taking the lives of their victims. Does anyone ever think of the poor victim?

6. Andy: "Hey, what's with all this junk food you bought? You're always railing at me about eating healthy." Aunt Bea: "Don't fuss -- it was on sale."

7. Reporter: "It seems to me that if you were elected president, the Congress with which you would have to work would not be very cooperative at all. How could you, as president, bring about any reform or help enact any beneficial legislation with a Congress that was almost totally opposed to your programs?" Ross Perot: "Well, if I were elected, about half the members of Congress would drop dead of heart attacks, and half of my problem would be solved from the outset."

8. Jack: "Bob Dylan is the greatest performer of our time." Jill: "Well, Dylan is a fine writer, but as a performer, he stinks. I saw a concert of his once and we was singing unintelligibly and looked like he was falling asleep." Jack: "Well, Fleetwood Mac, one of your favorite groups, is not so great in concert either."

9. Teresa: "It's so obvious that an open society will always be vulnerable to terrorist attack, so the question is how much of our free movement we are willing to sacrifice for national security." George: "No, the question is how our government agencies could have been so stupid as to ignore all the signs of the impending attack."

10. Reporter: "Mr. President, your opponent, Walter Mondale is considerably younger than you. Do you think that with the threat of nuclear war, age should be an issue in this campaign?" President Reagan: "Not at all. I am not going to exploit my opponent's youth and inexperience."

Defense Mechanisms

Defense mechanism, in psychoanalytic theory, any of a group of mental processes that enables the mind to reach compromise solutions to conflicts that it is unable to resolve.

Defense Mechanism ማለት የሆነን ስህተት ወይም ግጭት ምክንያታዊ ሆናችሁ Respond ማድረግ ሲያቅጣችሁ፣ ለስህተቱ እራስን ምክንያት ላለማድረግ #Unconsciouslly ማለትም ሳታስቡት የምትጠቀሙት ዘዴ ነው።

Some of the major defense mechanisms described by psychoanalysts are the following:

1. Repression

📍 is the withdrawal from consciousness of an unwanted idea, affect, or desire by pushing it down, or repressing it, into the unconscious part of the mind.

ይሄ ማለት አንድን በአይምሮአችሁ ምታስቡትን ነገር ግን ማሰብ የማትፈልጉትን ነገር መርሳት ማለት ነው።

ለምሳሌ፣ ከባለቤቱ ጋር ተጣልቶ ሚስቱ የደበደበችው ባል😂 ያንን ነገር ደግሞ ማስታወስ አይፈልግም፥ ምክንያቱ ታውቁታላችሁ። ስለዚህ በግድ Repress ወይም ላመርሳት ይጣጣራል ማለት ነው።


2. Denial

📍is refusal to recognize or acknowledge a threatening situation.

It is refusal to perceive that painful facts exist.

ይህ ማለት አንድ ትክክል ያልሆነን ነገር ትክክል ነው፣ ችግር የለውም ብለህ ስትሰግጥ ማለት ነው😁 ወይም በተቃራኒው።

ጠጅ በብርሌ ነገር በምሳሌ🏃‍♂🏃‍♂
መጠጥ🍻 የሚጠጣን ሰው፣ መጠጥ ሀጢያት ነው አትጠጣ ስትሉት፣ አልሰማህም ሀጥያት አይደለም ብሎ Deny ሲያደርግ ማለት ነው።

3. Regression

📍Involves reverting to immature behaviors that have relieved anxiety in the past.
ይህንን "ማገርሸት" ብላችሁ ያዙት😁 ከዚህ በፊት የነበራችሁን ባህሪ ሳታውቁት ሲያገረሽባችሁ ማለት ነው።
ለምሳሌ፦ ተቀምጣችሁ እያጠናችሁ የሆነን ነገር አሳስቧችሁ ከሆነ ትመሰጡና የያዛቹትን እስክሪብቶ🖊 በአፋችሁ...😋

4. Rationalization

📍 is the substitution of a safe and reasonable explanation for the true (but threatening) cause of behaviour.
ይህ ማስተባበያ ምክንያት ማቅረብ ነው።

ለምሳሌ፦ በራሳችሁ ምክንያት ዝቅተኛ ውጤት ካመጣችሁ በኃላ፣ እንዴት ውጤት ወረደብህ ስትባሉ፤ "ባክህ ፈተናውን አክብዶውብንኮ ነው" ብለህ Reply ስታደርግ ማለት ነው።

5. Displacement

📍the defense mechanism that involves expressing feelings toward a person who is less threatening than the person who is the true target of those feelings.

ይህ ንዴታችሁን በተናነደደባቹበት ሰው ላይ በመወጣት ፋንታ በሌላው በቅርብ ባለ ሰው ላይ ስትወጡ ማለትን ነው።
ንዴቱን በሌላ ሰው Displace ማድረግ ነው💁‍♂

ለምሳሌ፦ ከመምህር ጋር ተጣልተህ ፤ እራሱን መምህሩን ፊትለፊት ከመጋፈጥ ፈንታ መጥተህ የዶርም ልጅ ላይ ንዴትህን ስትወጣ ማለት ነው።

ይህን mechanism እናንት ተጠቅማችሁ አታውቁም😃

6. Projection

📍is a form of defense in which unwanted feelings are displaced onto another person, where they then appear as a threat from the external world.

ይህ በአጭሩ "እራሳችሁን ያላችሁን መጥፎ ባህሪ፣ በሌላ ሰው ላይ ስታዩ ያንን ሰው መኮነን ማለት ነው።"

ለምሳሌ፣ እናንት ውሸታም ሆናችሁ ሌላ ሰው ሲዋሻችሁ፣ እንዴት ትዋሸኛለህ ብሎ ጓ ማለት ነው🤦🏼‍♂

7. Reaction formation

📍 is the fixation in consciousness of an idea, affect, or desire that is opposite to a feared unconscious impulse.

ይህ ከማስመሰል ጋር ወይም ከግብዝነት ጋር ይቀራረባል።

ለምሳሌ፣ አንድ ባል ከባለቤቱ ጋር ተጣልቶ ነገር ግን በማህበረሰቡ ውስጥ ልክ እንዳልተጣላ ነገር ሲያስመስል ማለት ነው። ወይ ደግሞ ውጤት በጣም ወርዶባችሁ ነገር ግን ጥሩ ውጤት እንዳመጣ ሰው Act ስታደርጉ ማለት ነው።

8. Sublimation

📍defense mechanism that involves expressing sexual or aggressive behavior through indirect, socially acceptable outlets.

ይህ ደግሞ ስህተት የሆነን ነገር ወይም ትክክል የማይመስለውን ነገር ተቀባይነት ባለው መልኩ መግለፅ ማለት ነው።

ለምሳሌ፦ ጠጥቶ መስከር በማህበረሰቡ ውስጥ እንደ መልካም ነገር የማይታይ ከሆነ፣ ምንም እንኳ ያ ሰው ሰካራም ቢሆንም የተቸገሩትን በመርዳት፣ ያዘኑትን በማፅናናት የሚታወቅ ከሆነ፣ ይህ Sublimation ይባላል Solid to gas🏃‍♂😁

በቃ Sublimation እንደ reaction formation በማስመሰል ፈንታ፣ መጥፎ ባህሪ ሲኖራችሁ ወይም ትክክል ያልሆነ ነገር ስትሰሩ ያንን ነገር በጥሩ ነገር መተካት ማለት ነው።

Defense mechanismኦችን apply እያረጋችሁ ፈታ በሉ😁
