Summary/Abstract: In the following, we propose an analysis of some of the most common types of argumentation (i.e. arguments that could be generic examples, which account for certain categories of arguments) coming from two currents of thought, called here radical skepticism and protectionist propaganda. The arguments presented below were mainly collected from the Romanian press (in the form of advertisements, propaganda spots, etc.) and from private discussions with various people from both camps.
