-Additionally, fake online identities are used for the purposes of deception and [[Psychological Manipulation]] to spread disinformation and [[Propaganda]] messages throughout various social networks and online communities. This is referred to as a ‘[[Sock Puppet]]’, a person pretending to be another person that assumes this false identity in order to infiltrate or manipulate others in an online community. A [[Strawman Sock Puppet]] is used by covert agendas to troll online communities, to make a particular point of view appear crazy in order to discredit the discussions and generate as much chaos and disruption as possible in the group. Similar to an online troll, the sock puppet’s motivation is to spread [[Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt]] within the group in order to [[Divide and Conquer Tactics|divide and conquer]]. It is important to realize that sock puppets are considered a legitimate vocation, hackers are hired and paid well to perform this role. They get paid to intentionally deceive others online, write phony complaints or spread offensive language and ideas in order to kill off the business competition.

-A Straw Man is a fallacy used in an argument or belief based on erroneous reasoning, usually designed to attack or [[Gaslighting|gaslight]] an opponent. Straw man is one type of logical fallacy. Straw man occurs when someone argues that a person holds a view that is actually not what the other person believes. Instead, it is a distorted version of what the person believes. So, instead of attacking the person's actual statement or belief, it is the distorted version that is attacked, when the targeted person never made the statement to begin with. <ref>[http://www.softschools.com/examples/fallacies/straw_man_examples/496/ Straw Man Fallacy]</ref>
+Circular reasoning is when you attempt to make an argument by beginning with an assumption that what you are trying to prove is already true. In your premise, you already accept the truth of the claim you are attempting to make. It sounds complicated, but it is easily understood with some real-world examples.
-==References==
+Circular reasoning may sound convincing, but consider who will most likely be convinced by a circular argument. Those who already accept the argument as true are more likely to be further convinced. This is because they already believe the assumption that is stated.
