Question #3 - Subjectivist Fallacy

One concept from Chapter 2 of the book, Critical Thinking by Richard Epstein, that I have chosen was "Subjectivist Fallacy." The term subjectivist fallacy is when a person supports a sentence or conclusion that is subjective even though it is objective. When a person argues that an objective claim is false, it is a fallacy because it is a personal opinion. In other words, it is when a person disagrees that a fact is false. I recently watched a television show that was aired on ABC family called "Pretty Little Liars." In one of the episodes, a male student demanded his teacher that he should have received an A rather than a C on his essay. The teacher explained to the student that he had earned a C because his paper was not written very well. However, the student continued to disagree which led to an argument. It is an example of subjectivist fallacy because him deserving an A was his own opinion, not a true fact.
