The book of Fallacies ˈfaləsi/
A mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments.
This book describes the different fallacies such as the red herring fallacy, bandwagon fallacy and such with articles from the news and myths in society. The intention of this book is to point out how the media has the power to shape our belief systems.
The articles are placed in the book but each page has a ‘flap’ which opens up to explain the fallacy used in the article.
Information should be free: We are aware that the news filters information from us. To reflect that, an editorial was done in the form of a newspaper. Tearing it open will review information regarding the news and how it affects us and society as a whole.
