Faulty reasoning

This week for reading we learned about faulty reasoning. Illogical /simplified/Assumption, Circular Reasoning, Over-generalization, Biased Argument and Contradiction.

Illogical /simplified/Assumption is Providing evidence that does not directly support the claim.

Circular Reasoning is supporting a claim with the same claim.

Over-generalization is making a global statement when there are likely exceptions.

Biased Argument is making a claim that is influenced by your own personal feelings or experience.

Contradiction is providing evidence that goes against the original argument.
