My own fallacy 28/8/2998


Hello boys and girls,

I was having a conversation with Miss Hanae Nakamura after class and realized I made lots of hasty generalization. Wow, i guess critical thinking really made me notice my own weaknesses. Anyway I made a comment saying " All Japanese people study engineering"after my sensei said she studied engineering.

Sounds vague and dubious right? This is called" hasty generalization". Hmm...this is a type of fallacy defined as drawing general conclusion from a sample that is biased or too small.
