Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles The Slippery Slope is a logical fallacy that occurs when it is assumed that a relatively small first step leads to a chain of related events culminating in some significant (usually negative) effect. This fallacy suggests that taking a specific action will inevitably lead to other actions resulting in an undesirable outcome, without providing sufficient evidence for such inevitability. Everyday Example: Consider an argument against relaxing work dress codes said: "If we allow employees to wear casual clothes on Fridays, soon they'll start dressing casually every day, and before we know it, the office will become unprofessional and productivity will plummet." This is a slippery slope fallacy because it assumes a series of increasingly negative and uncontrolled outcomes from a simple change in dress code, without evidence to support such a drastic decline.
