Question

Which is an example of a hasty generalization

Answer 1

Answer: An example of hasty generalization is "All women are bad at driving".

Explanation: A hasty generalization is a fallacy that consists in reaching a conclusion without enough evidence. When a person does a hasty generalization, he/she shares a conclusion based on inductive generalization, instead of considering all the variables that a particular situation offers. In that way, a hasty generalization is not a conclusion logically justified: it is a universal conclusion drawn up after considering biased evidence. "All women are bad at driving" is an example of hasty generalization because the speaker's conclusion is based on unsufficient evidence. Moreover, the speaker fails to consider all the variables since it does not take into account all the women that exist in the world but only the women that he/she knows.
