Logical fallacies are arguments used to confuse or sway the reader to accept a claim/position in the absence of evidence.

There are several logical fallacies that weaken arguments. Some logical fallacies include:

1. The straw-man: This involves misrepresenting or weakening an opponent's argument so that it is easy to disregard and reject.

2. Appeal to emotion: This involves using emotions rather than objective facts to convince your readers or listeners to accept your point of view.

3. Ad Hominem Argument: This involves refuting an opponent's argument by attacking their personal characteristics- their personality, intelligence, morals, reputation, etc.- instead of refuting the opponent's arguments or views on the topic at hand itself.
