Hasty Generalization: an incorrect conclusion based on insufficient evidence
media type="custom" key="26599774" ====In this video, Mitt Romney is making a speech about Barack Obama's voters. His first statement about the 47% of people who will vote for the president may be a true fact. However, then he goes on to say what they believe in and what they think the government should do. This shows the fallacy of hasty generalization. He has no evidence to back what the 47% of voters believe. Just because they are for Barack Obama doesn't necessarily mean that they believe in all things mentioned.==== media type="custom" key="26599808" ====In this video, they are talking about the damage from hurricane Katrina. Kanye West says he disagrees with how black people are portrayed in the media. He claims that he is going to donate money to help. He goes on to say that the government isn't doing enough to help the people and finally claims that George Bush doesn't care about black people. This claim is hasty generalization. Simply because Kanye believes that the government isn't doing enough to support and there happens to be black people that are suffering and being portrayed incorrectly doesn't necessarily mean that Bush doesn't care about black people.====

- The audience is the general public. The picture portrays the horrible effects of the Oklahoma City bombing and uses pathos to show the general public how horrific the effects were.
====- The juxtaposition of the firefighter in all of his protective gear to the naked baby makes the baby seem even more vulnerable and hopeless. The blood on the baby’s head can be compared to the firefighter’s bright red helmet. The way the baby is so limp in the firefighter’s arms and the way the firefighter is looking down at the baby shows the hopelessness of the baby and how the firefighter is worried if the baby will live and almost as if he knows the baby will die.==== ====- The explicit argument is that the baby is dying and the firefighter has nothing to give the baby because the injuries are too severe. The only thing he can give the baby is the comfort of being held.====
