Give an Example of an Overgeneralization

Question

Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is Answers will vary, but here are two examples: (1) someone who assumes all youth who are violent will be violent in adulthood. This is an error in reasoning because not all youth who are violent will be violent in adulthood.
(2) All programs to reduce violence will not work because youth are programmed to be violent. This is an error in reasoning because it assumes that youth are born violent, which may not be the case. Also the idea that all programs would be unsuccessful is incorrect as it makes it seem like nothing could be done to prevent youth violence, which may or may not be true.
