A statement like this is faulty reasoning because it doesn’t explore the fact we used to punish crimes the same way. Another example of the same concept is when explaining how Americans who are…

evidence needed to make his assumption valid. To solve this problem, the author then says people usually get used to the technology and are no longer afraid of it.

effectiveness of his article. The flow and order of his article made it easy for the reader to understand the effects of gender on advertising.

being introduced to these types of games when they were younger. George Will was wrong in saying that having video games is making our society more “stupid/infantilized.” Our parent’s brains are misconstrued, often getting caught up in the hasty generalizations associated with video gaming rather than just the facts.

Gore Vidal wrote his article “Drugs: Case for Legalizing Marijuana” in The New York Times in 1970, a full 17 years before the aforementioned commercial hit the television airwaves. Vidal’s piece was ahead of its time, but still…

statement she presents which includes her belief that because a few of the schools questioned, she tries to imply that all school’s dress codes are similar. The hasty generalization Bates implies when mentioning this statement, and then trying to imply that on all schools, may show that she has a straight forward and bias generalization on the topic. The common goals needing to be reached between the genders could not be achieved if both people cannot stay focused during the project or task at…
