Circular Reasoning, also known as Begging the Question, occurs when the conclusion of

an argument is assumed in the premises.

Essentially, the argument goes in a circle, with the conclusion simply restating a form

of the original assumption.

It's a logical fallacy because it doesn't provide any actual evidence or reasoning,

just reasserts the point in a way that appears to be an argument.

Everyday Example: Imagine someone arguing about the trustworthiness

of a news source said: "You can trust this news channel because it always tells the truth."

This is circular reasoning because the premise (the channel tells the truth) is the same

as the conclusion (it is trustworthy).

It assumes what it's trying to prove without providing any external evidence of the channel's

credibility.
