Moving out? 9/2/2008


Today I had a conversation with one of my friend about the benefits staying in the hostel. It turned out to be a epic battle about the whose belief is right - staying at hostel or rent a private room. He said" all our friends are staying in an apartment ,therefore I should not stay in the hostel."

My friend was clearly using peer pressure to persuade me to stay in an apartment. This is called ad populum appeal to common practice. He is pressuring me to agree with him by using ad populum appeal to common practice.
