Hasty Generalization is when someone makes an assumption based on lack of evidence. It can also be referred to as stereotypes. Examples including, "My math class is hard and my friend says her math class is hard too. Therefore all math classes must be hard." and "My grandfather smoked since he was thirteen and lived to be ninety-six. Therefore, smoking isn't bad for you." We make hasty generalizations on a daily basis. You see a new kid walk into class and immediately make an assumption based on their outward appearance. Even though you may know nothing about them.
