Apple Polishing ^_^


Today when my mum came back from barber shop, my sister went out and open door for her. Then she trying to persuaded my mom let her join her friend to go shopping later some. Below are their conversations.


Linda : Mom, your hair is very nice. It quite matches with your clothes that you going to wear to the party tonight. I’m sure you are the most beautiful lady among the entire guest at the party.

Mom : Ready?

Linda : Sure. You can wear the high heel shoes that we bought for you and wear some jewellery. I’m sure not one can compare with you. Dad will feel proud that you are his wife. So mom, can I go out with my friend later?

Mom : …….



In this conversation my sister is using Ad Populum Appeal to Vanity.
This fallacy is use to persuaded people to make them seen like special or to be respect.
