China Sample
The China Fallacy provides an interesting perspective between American perception and that of economic reality. The book illustrates, how in many instances, a disconnect between truth and reality has the potential to create unnecessary conflicts between parties. The China Fallacy is no different in this regard. Within the book, the author Donald Gross illustrates how the notions of security, economic turmoil, and political instability are skewed within the general public. Gross also illustrates that it is in the best interest of the United States to allow China to prosper and flourish. This prosperity, Gross argues, will ultimately lead to an optimal relationship between the two countries, abating many of the negative influences that plague them. Gross, in his book provides solutions to abate the influences that society deems important to U.S.- China relations while also providing means to expand the overall relationship in a sustainable manner. Through his literature, Gross hopes to avoid another Cold War, while also contributing to prosperous relationship between the United States and China.
To begin, the first fallacy mentioned in detail within the book is that of military threat China posses to the United States. The media in particular has used puffery to overplay the threat of military action. Conflicts between China and Japan within the south sea only exacerbate this assumption. Due primarily to the overall size and geographic location of China, the general public believes that the nation can harness untapped military might. Gross however dispels this notion by providing actual figures of military armaments of both nations. Below is a chart summarizing his figures.

Ch.12. a. This code is vague -- "depends" encompasses a very broad range of responses. B. There is no middle ground with this survey, just two positive and two negative. C. This is okay, but some respondents might be fuzzy on the distinction between "average" and "fair." D. I like this scale, and see it a lot, except that "uncertain" might be better worded as "do not know" or "does

Genetic Engineering Genetically Modified Food Genetic engineering is one of the breakthroughs in the agricultural sector introduced in the last four decades. Traditionally, agricultural production relied on natural methods such as crossbreeding to achieve the desired plant species. Such methods were associated with disadvantages such as its slow nature and inability to produce the desired plant traits in the desired period. However, the introduction of genetic modification led to the elimination of
Google The overall viewpoint of the author is, well, the article is a bit of a hatchet job, running down a list of grievances collected on the Internet, going so far down the intellectual scale as to use snarky name-calling from random bloggers as evidence (p.310). There are logical fallacies contained in pretty much every point of argument the author makes. So while the overall viewpoint is clear -- the author
