We evaluate arguments for logic and fairness. Some arguments can be unfair or fallacious; meaning untrue, misleading, or deceptive. It is also known has hasty generalization because it is based on insufficient evidence. Stereotyping is also considered hasty generalization because we tend to use our own opinion from noticeable evidence. Some arguments can be both fallacious and unfair together.
We must distinguish between a reasonable and fallacious argument to maintain the logic and fairness to the case. Therefore we test inductive reasoning, which does not give us the complete truth but a probable conclusion supported by evidence found. Analogies can be drawn out to point out the similarities of the point of the argument whether it’s reasonable or unreasonable. We must then weigh out the options and suggest as many alternatives that can be provided to fairly argue a case.
There are many different strategies to create an argument. Whether it’s fallacious or unfair, it may still sound logic and reasonable. This is why it is important to research and provide evidence. You must also prepare for the opposing views that may not look at the situation the same way. As for me, I am good at being reasonable, but I still lose in an argument because I don’t have the proper evidence to support myself. The other opponent can come up with something fallacious, but I wouldn’t know if the generalization was hasty because it seemed to be supported with factual evidence.
