Hitler's Book

Today, in CORE 10 Philosophy, we talked about different fallacies, and how they were used in Hitler's book. One fallacy we discussed was how Hitler compared us to animals. He states that animals are to only breed with there own kind, not any other. He is using that as a metaphor for us. He is basically saying that Chinese can only breed with other Chinese, and blacks can only breed with other blacks, etc....The fallacy he is using here is False Analogy. Which is an analogy is descriptive, but does not offer proof of a connection between the two things being compared. He is using animals representing humans, but shows no connections what so ever as to what connections we have to them. There is no evidence backing his statement up. That is why Hitler sucks. Okay thats the end of my blog for today, Bye!
