Question

The husband says: "i know what i'm doing. it's not my first time." why is his argument an erroneous generalization? explain. (hint: refer to the textbook for more information about erroneous generalizations).

Answer 1

The husband’s argument is an erroneous generalization because even though it is not the husband’s first time, yet within each time, things may change. Therefore, he never knows how things will play out every time.

Erroneous generalization occurs when someone makes a rushed conclusion without taking into consideration all the variables.
