I was sitting by the school library when i overheard the following conversation between a girl and boy.
Girl: "Angelina is trafficking drugs into the US together with husband Brad Pitt."
Boy: "No they are not, that is so untrue."
Girl: "Well can you prove that they are not?"
Boy: "No i can't.
BCT;
From what i learned from critical thinking I immediately realized that the girl was using the burden of proof fallacy. She found it hard to support her claim so then she shifted the responsibility to the boy.
