Reading 4.5-Crooked and fallacious thinking

In this chapter the information that I found interesting is about how crooked interrelated with fallacious thinking. This is about an argument about crooked and fallacious thinking is not only evidence of illogical mental process and poor communication skill but is also manipulative tool in the hands of speaker/ writers wishing to influence and effect the judgment of their listeners / readers. In other hand, especially in context where there is an intent to persuade someone towards a particular belief or course of action, we are likely to encounter instances of crooked and fallacious thinking. For this reasons it is included in a course on critical literacy as it is important to be able to interrogate the logic contained in the argument in the text. Here we can say that much human misunderstanding and blunder arises because many people are aware of the fact that their trends of thoughts, and thus their communication processes, are frequently muddled, illogical and fallacious. But while such innocent, through troublesome, blunders may well be good humouredly regarded as part of human weaknesses, we should be aware that there are thinking people who consciously take advantage of the general ignorance and weaknesses of others. In persuasions and discourses such as people, subtly use crooked tricks of argument to insidiously influence their listener or reader. It would therefore be wise to look at the more common forms of crooked and fallacious trends of thought. However, aware as we are the danger of brute ‘reasons’, we should look at more types of cloudy thinking and unfair argumentation. There some concept that I cannot understand especially about the picture shown and the statement examples.
