Question

Could someone define the following terms and give an example for each.                               
           i. Hasty generalization
           ii. False Cause

anonymous · Answer

Essentailly, a hasty generalization is when someone makes a hasty conclusion without considering all of the variables - think of it as jumping to conclusions.  A false cause is when someone assumes that there is a single, simple cause of an outcome when it may have been caused by a number of other, more complicated causes.  

Knowing the definitions, what kind of examples can you come up with?
