False equivalency: A misleading comparison where the comparison targets are forcibly balanced while ignoring relevant differences. For example, claiming that banning guns also requires banning cars. Both cause harm to human life, but guns are designed for lethality and are closely linked to crime, whereas automobiles are meant for transportation and sometimes cause fatalities in traffic accidents as side effects. Comparing these two as if they are the same constitutes a false equivalency. Similarly, saying that apples and oranges are the same because they are both fruits and round is also a false equivalency. We are easily misled by such false comparisons. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The reason managers need to know poetry is that it can inspire them to solve problems. Poetry consists of statements, similes , metaphors , substitutions , and transpositions , and this function serves as a tool for addressing issues in management. Statements identify the core of the problem, while similes and metaphors ignite the imagination to foster problem-solving. Substitutions and transpositions facilitate the connection and application of methods for resolving the issue. Rhetoric is a valuable key to problem-solving that enhances critical thinking; after all, it is an issue of application. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
