During the same time my friend tried to convince me that i have to do my home works properly since i have not done my home work on that day. But i sain why would i trust you since you have not done your home work at all. This is just by throwing what he said to me back to him. This is also not a good way of reasoning and it cant be accepted as a reasoning or a good argument.

This is an example of Ad hominem Circumtantial. On Monday during lunch time My freind was trying to convince me that i should go to the Chines Ochestra. and i tried to Convince my other frend how i can actualy trust this guy by attacking his credibility by saying that he is a member of the club and he is trying to sell of the ticket. this is also bad reasoning...

This is an example of Ad hominem Abusive. am trying to convince my friend that the lecturer is wrong by attacking to the lecturer's charachter during his University and now as a Lecturer. these type of reasoning is not good and can not be accepted
