Fallacy

Two Wrongs Fallacy

By attempting to identify similar acts or beliefs in others, this type of argument seeks to justify one's own behavior or beliefs. You strive to do two wrongs to be right while pointing the finger at others. The phrase "I can accomplish it too if all others can" is frequently used by those who fall prey to this fallacy. Instead, a another way to put this fallacy is when you ignore criticism of your conduct only because your detractors act similarly (Shapiro, 2017).

Diversity of Intelligence

The two wrongs fallacy is a problematic type of fallacy because it causes most individuals to overlook the diversity of intelligence that exists among people have when tackling issues. This makes others think that they can they can behave the same way as others something is very impossible. This can be proven where everyone would wish to succeed in life when they only try to imitate others and get its impossible (Shapiro, 2017).

Tu Quoque Fallacy

The fallacy which is in a way similar to the two wrongs fallacy is a tu quoque fallacy. They both share the similarity when it comes to the justification that the second party of action possesses when is in action. The second party in the tu quoque fallacy justifies their actions making them think that it’s easy and very possible achieving operations executed by others. As with the two wrongs fallacy, the tu quoque fallacy also focuses on the perceived hypocrisy of the opponent rather than the merits of their argument (Shapiro, 2017).
