Critical Thinking

Several pages into chapter eight, "Using Self in Community Practice: Assertiveness" is a section on critical thinking. The book lists the logical fallacies~
1)Ad hominem
2)Appeal to authority (ad verecundium)
3)Diversion (red herring)
4)Stereotyping
5)Manner or style
6)Group think
7)Bandwagon
8)Either-or(false dilemma)
9)Straw man argument

I had a flashback to my days at College of the Redwoods and my philosophy instructor in his cowboy boots going over the fallacies so in depth.
