Hasty Generalization

Hasty generalization is a fallacy where one makes the mistake of generalizing on things without doing adequate research. Doing this causes a writing to be biased and misleading and in some instances inappropriate. Despite this fallacy being wrong it is not uncommon seeing people intentionally or unintentionally applying it. Examples include inconclusive stereotypes, statistically incomplete data and so. We have heard people say that women are bad drivers. This could be based on few incidents observation. But obviously this is not complete and it doesn't show the whole picture. Another example of hasty generalization Peter speaks spanish, Sarah also speaks spanish then the whole group speaks spanish as well. In order to avoid this incomplete conclusions writers need to make broad research and be truthfull or responsible to their topic, readers and themselves.
