The word “Ad Hominem" is from Latin means "against the man" or "against the person."

A friend told me about the story of his family and himself.
He is consider as the blacksheep of the family. A sibling of his
is having problem, and he try to help by giving advices. The sister
give a remark that really shocked him, by saying "You cant even take
care of yourself yet you want to advice me!".

As a critical thinker, you must not let emotion controls you and you must evaluate
the contain of argument. He may not be a good person but he is your brother and
wanted to help. The sister should just think for a while if the advice is good and not harmful, she just think either to follow or not. Do not shut off the mind and find the
mistake of others.
