Logical Fallacies

In the Lumberjack there was an article using the bandwagon approach, stating how good the university was for going green with the new information systems building. While this is an important issue you can’ t tell people that everyone is going green what about people who cannot afford the make the changes to go green, it is not cheap to go green. They failed to mention the problems that the building brought along with it, such as the ventilation shafts over flowing with water when we had the heavy rains in the fall. The damage caused by the flooding , We saw some areas where we cannot go green for the buildings sake.
The snob approach was also a fallacy they said everything was going green in retrospect not every place can afford the change who are they to tell people who are not going green they are bad. They paper was being snobby by placing us in the third best eco friendly schools. What about all the old buildings on the campus that are in bad shape, I guess it is ok for the paper to ignore those buildings it would weaken the praise they are trying to provide the school.
There was one more article in the paper on separating boys and girls at the elementary levels. Which is another important subject it is this country’s future. It was full of the stacking the deck fallacy the entire article was on why not to segregate the sexes at that age. How do we know what the other side of the argument is? This one really made the author sound ignorant. Even though you may not agree with the other side you should tell the audience why they are wrong by using specific examples.
I was amazed at the amount of fallacies in the school paper. I never thought how misguided I could be
