Hasty generalization

rapists, and perverts. Politician B: And you conservatives want to rape the environment. Neither of these accusation are creditible, this is a personal opinion on politics, therfore this arguement is an Ad Hominem. This arguement could also be a Hasty Generalization. 15. Susan: I’m in favor of legalizing marijuana for medical purposes. It can help those with glaucoma and cancer. Bruce: You heard it for yourself, Susan wants to legalize drugs. It’s bad enough in this Country with alcohol and…

using them to make a claim about the whole universe. He explains that even the small part of the universe we’re aware of is so diverse with many different springs, principles, and systems. Hume's point reveals that the comparison itself is a hasty generalization because we don't know enough about the universe as a whole to compare it to a machine. Also, alternative analogies and explanations exist that could be more probable. Hume explains it’s possible that the material world of matter falls…

Ageism in the workplace Chaeyeon Song They don’t have the ability to get jobs. They are not creative. They are boring and forgetful. They cannot learn. Can you imagine who is ‘they‘? If you reminded or imagined ‘old people’, it means that you are having stereotypes about them. Age discrimination in employment is a very complex issue which affects many areas of Government policies and has many implications for individuals themselves. Prejudice about old people or young people was created…

In this paper, I will refute the argument over the legitimacy and importance of a liberal arts education for a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) major. My opponent makes the argument that a liberal arts education holds no importance to a student studying in the STEM field. His first premise (1) is that STEM majors do not need to take courses outside their major. His second premise (2) is that a liberal arts education lacks depth in required general education courses. His…

Shattered buildings, ashes covering the city, broken hearts and jaded families. A tragic incident that took place 14 years ago, killing thousands and scarring those who survived, both mentally and physically. The attacks were blamed on Muslim terrorists, which lead to a great increase of Islamophobia, especially amongst Americans. The collapse traumatized the nation and affected most, including Palestinian-American author and poet Suheir Hammad. She witnessed the tragic event and composed the…

In 2015, Phil Zuckerman from The Los Angeles Times wrote an article, “How secular family values stack up”. In his article, he claims that more children are “growing up godless” than at any other time in our nation’s history. Phil Zuckerman provides credibility, sufficiency, warrants and reasoning all within his article. The argument being made is whether children need to be raised with religion or not. Phil uses his own research and multiple outside sources to help support his claim. Throughout…

Within the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in requirements for students to graduate and get accepted into good colleges. In fact, Stanford, a well-known private college, has dropped its acceptance rate by nearly eight percent since 2004. With these new painstaking requisites, students have recently become pressured to succeed within their classes as well as compete with their peers for superiority. Oftentimes, this pressure stems from parents who want their children to apply to…

Parents bear the responsibility of making life-shaping decisions in issues such as education and healthcare for their children. The growing skepticism against vaccines and the healthcare industry is worrying because it can potentially cause preventable deaths. In this paper, I will be responding to Sarah Pope’s entry in The Healthy Home Economist where she argued against vaccines. Pope established her family’s medical background to show that her claims are not unfounded. It is ironic that she…

community. With the understanding of critical thinking, this other side could realize that the problem is not that police shoot males but that the reasons they give for wanting to shoot them fall under classic examples of stereotyping and forming hasty generalizations of an entire group based on the few notable cases. For example the case of Alva Braziel who was shot dead after police claimed he held a gun up to them. Once body cam video was released by activist Shaun King on his twitter…

Essay: The White Australia Policy The White Australia policy, formally named the Immigration Restriction Act, was introduced on the 23rd of December 1901 and was de jure (by law) discontinued in 1958. But de facto (by reality) racial discrimination and referring to Asian citizens as ‘aliens’ continued until the early 1970’s. The thesis of this essay is that the white Australia policy wouldn’t be of the same short-term effectiveness if the Australian Government hadn't implemented the use of media…
