Faulty Reasoning
LI : To understand faulty reasoning.
There are four types of faulty reasoning there is, Over generalization which is like a hyperbole but over generalization is making a statement, that includes everyone when there are exceptions. Next is a bias argument when is what you think. Contradiction is when you make an argument but you provide evidence that goes against the statement. Then there is illogical or simplified assumption like saying bananas are purple. And lastly the last faulty reasoning is circular reasoning when is when you use the same reasons over and over again.
Our task was to read a text and take parts of it to figure out what parts of it are faulty reasoning. Some could be over generalization in two parts of the text and so on. There were three short messages of arguments saying that they want change for a subject.
