3. Look and Read p. 99 Fallacies • Hasty (quick) generalizations • Too simple generalizations • Correlation does not show causation • Restating the claim over and over again • False analogy • Ignoring other options or possibilities • Non-expert opinion

4. Correlation does not equal Causation On the days when the most ice cream is sold, more people drown. Therefore, ice cream causes drowning. Why is this a fallacy? • Just because more ice cream is sold does not mean it causes drowning. • However, on days when the most ice cream is sold it is usually hotter. More people go swimming when it is hot.

5. Be careful When trying to support your claim, be sure that you avoid common fallacies. • Let's look at some samples. • Look at the bottom of 100/top of 101 • What type of fallacies are in these samples?
