TRANSCRIPT

HU345: Critical Thinking Unit 2 Kaplan University Stuart Collins Any Questions Problemo? Unit 2 Seminar We will discuss the fallacies of assumption and how to recognize what they imply. We will also look at how the context of discussion helps expose assumptions and explore the most productive ways to handle fallacies of assumption. Before the seminar, think about the following questions: Have you ever engaged in stereotyping? Have you ever been stereotyped? Do you think police enforcement using racial, ethnic, or other types of profiling is effective? Is it rational? What examples of hasty generalizations have you seen in advertisements or mass media? What examples of arguments from ignorance do you think are most commonly used? What inferences are they trying to make? What examples from your own life demonstrate the post hoc fallacy? m plato.stanford.edu/entries/medieval- syllogism/ m 3 M NcFRig m
