Do now:
Definition: What is a logical fallacy?
- A logical fallacy is an inaccurate or intentionally misleading application of logic.
- It is important to be able to recognize logical fallacies to avoid being exploited or swindled by writers or speakers who want your money, your voice, or your vote.
- It is also important to avoid using logical fallacies in your own argumentation, because honesty is an essential quality of effective persuasion.
Hasty Generalization: a conclusion based on too little evidence, suggesting a superficial investigation of an issue.
Example:
- Most of the people in the room opposed the project, so most people in the town probably oppose it too. (Unless you can prove the sample in the room were statistically representative of the town as a whole, you cannot make this claim.)
- Women don’t enjoy watching sports. (Evidence against this could be any example of a specific woman who enjoys watching sports. This is also an example of a stereotype: a general statement about a group of people based on uninformed attitudes toward a particular race, gender, religion, age, etc.)
