Fallacies Assignment

1. Faulty Casuality: "Making texting while driving illegal caused a decrease in revenue for the cellular companies."

2. Slippery Slope: "If Anna doesn't pass her science test, she will fail the class and ultimately fail out of high school."

3. Example from source: "Most of all, we're lazy and refuse to control our appetites." (Weighing the Evidence) This is an example of a hasty generalization because it makes a conclusion about Americans that cannot really be proved. It is an opinion, not a fact.
