Blogpost Avoiding Fallacies

-Argument about how the university is preparing students for the globalized marketplace.

Ad Hominem: Could talk about people who think universities do not prepare students for globalized markets. I could give counter arguments to points they give.

Stereotyping: Avoid talking about things like, all college students receive jobs in international markets

Faulty Sampling: Give statistics of college graduates that have obtained jobs in the global market and how successful they were after university

Sweeping Generalizations: Don't use assumption words like most, some, etc

False Dilemma: Dont inaccurately say that college students must work in the global market when they are done with school

Post Hoc/Ergo Propter Hoc: dont assume events will happen after certain events. University students don't always get a job after college, don't assume that they do.
