Faulty Reasoning is giving a reason which didn't strongly convince another side of their argument. There are 5 types of faulty reasoning: illogical or simplified assumption, circular reasoning , over generalisation, contradiction and biased argument.
Circular reasoning is supporting a claim with the same claim.
Contradiction is providing evidence that goes against the original argument.
Illogical or simplified assumption is making a global statement when there are likely exceptions.
A over generalisation is making a global statement when there are likely exceptions.
A biased argument is making a claim that is influenced by your own personal feelings or experience
The first activity we did was to find a sentence that involves a faulty reasoning. We had to try figure out what faulty reasoning that the sentence was using.The second activity we did was where we had to guess what faulty reasoning that a sentence was using. The last and third activity we did was where we had to make a faulty reasoning sentence for the 5 faulty reasoning's.
