What is a Hasty Generalization Fallacy?

Asked by InesDyron

Answer (3)

It's when someone makes a fast and false conclusion because they only know the general idea of the thing they are concluding, and not all of the facts, if that makes sense. It's kind of like a stereotype, automatically assuming that someone is a certain way just because they participate in a certain sport, for example.

Hasty generalization: Writers use hasty generalization when they make broad conclusions based on inadequate information. Hasty generalizations also stem from people’s biases and prejudices. Here's a hasty generalization about women:
My mother and aunts are bad at parallel parking. My mother and aunts are women. So, all women are bad at parallel parking.
Make me brainliest please

A hasty generalization fallacy occurs when a broad conclusion is made based on insufficient evidence or too few examples. This type of reasoning often leads to stereotypes and weak arguments. To avoid this, it's important to base conclusions on adequate and representative evidence.
