excerpt from  yet another graduation requirement?
daniel thrash

originally students simply had to earn an established number of credits over four years in order to graduate. don’t they see that students who are required to serve others as a volunteer will become more kind and considerate people in their real life? instead of being a place where students go and hide all day, high schools would be active, vibrant contributors to the good of the community as a whole. think of how much more good work could be done!



  which sentence based upon this passage is an example of a hasty overgeneralization?

a)there are many good reasons for why requiring service-hours from every american high school student is a good idea for the future. b)don’t they see that students who are required to serve others as a volunteer will become more kind and considerate people in their real life? c)originally students simply had to earn an established number of credits over four years in order to graduate. d)it is true that having more graduation requirements will require more personnel to insure that all these requirements are met.

Explanation:

Hasty generalization is demonstrated as the logical fallacy in which a general conclusion is deduced without possessing sufficient objective evidences that justify its validity.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
