Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a false dichotomy, as the argument presents only two options (promote involvement of fathers or accept the breakdown of social values), when in reality there may be many other factors that contribute to social breakdown. It also implies that the only solution to social problems is increased involvement of fathers, which may not necessarily be true.
