 * Fallacy Project: Argument to the People**

The Fallacy “Argument to the People” is an appeal that goes for the popular beliefs, biases, or prejudices. The appeal usually goes after feelings and enthusiasm. The appeal will also target certain groups of people. There are different approaches that the fallacy can take such as bandwagon, patriotic, snob, etc. They want to sway your opinion in favor of the group you are loyal to.

An example of an Argument to the People would be a commercial showing a famous basketball player sponsoring a certain type of shoe. If you liked other shoes, seeing the famous player you like wearing a different pair might sway your opinion to change to the basketball player’s shoes.

Another example would be if there were an advertisement for a certain drink and saying that it is America’s drink. The average American would feel like it would be swayed into drinking the beverage.

media type="custom" key="24832268" This is an example of Argument to the People with a bandwagon approach. The commercial is wanting people that follow or are affiliated with to feel obligated to drink Pepsi. At this time Michael Jackson was a huge hit and had a very large and loyal fan base.

media type="custom" key="24832260" Another example of an Argument to the people would be the "Be Like Mike" Gatorade commercial. The ad shows things that Michael Jordan does and wants the consumer to believe that drinking Gatorade would help them become more like Mike. Michael Jordan is undoubtedly one of the greatest athletes of all time and there is a very large group of fans that would want to "Be Like Mike".

In both of the examples, the advertisers use very successful and famous people with large fan groups. They are hoping that the groups opinions would be swayed a certain way once they see their idol doing it. For example, a Michael Jackson fan who likes Coke would feel guilty if he didn't support Jackson in drinking Pepsi and so his decision might be swayed so that he will drink Pepsi to support Jackson.
