"These days, parents neglect to watch their children's social media use." This sentence is an example of which logical fallacy?

Non Sequitor Hasty Generalization Post hoc False analogy
English

In the sentence "These days, parents neglect to watch their children's social media use", we find an example of the hasty generalization fallacy.

Hasty generalization does not present enough evidence to support the argument made and, therefore, generalizes a fact. In the sentence above, there is an affirmation that parents do not watch their children's social media use. How can the speaker state this? Who are these parents: all of them? Just a percentage? What about the parents who do watch their kids' use of social media? Do they not count?

As for the other options given, let's take a look at a brief description of what they mean:

Non sequitur is when a conclusion does not follow the evidence presented. It's an absurd conclusion, considering the information given. --> People like watching movies. Movies have violence. Therefore, having some violence happen to people is desirable.

Post hoc is a fallacy in which the speaker assumes there is a connection between events simply because they happened one after the other. That is, if B happened after A, then B happened because of A. --> If it rained after I had an ice cream, then it rained because I had the ice cream.

False analogy happens when the speaker analyzes two different facts under the same point of view and conditions, drawing a conclusion that is far-fetched. --> Monica is from South America. Alice is also from South America. Therefore, Monica and Alice are from the same country.

What are some similarities and differences in "To Build A Fire" and "Stickeen"? Need two or more examples of each.
malfutka [58]

1. Compare and contrast are words that are often used to talk about the similarities and differences between two things or objects.

2. Apart from the difference in their meaning, one struggles to find any differences between the two.

3. According to various dictionaries, compare means ‘to represent things or objects in respect of similarity’ and contrast means ‘to represent things in respect of differences.’

4. If a person is looking at the similarities between two objects or things, then he may be comparing the two. On the other hand, if a person is looking at the dissimilarity between two things or objects, then he may be contrasting the two.

5. Where compare emphasises the similar qualities, contrast emphasises the differences.

6. The word compare has been derived from the Latin word ‘comparare’, which means ‘to liken or to compare.’ The word contrast has been derived from the Latin word ‘contra’ and ‘stare’, which means ‘against’ and ‘to stand.’
