Quickwrite 11/29

Topic: Language defines our identity.
These are examples of things I will not include.

Ad Hominem: Someone who uses slang is a bad person.
Stereotyping: All Mexicans speak Spanish.
Faulty Sampling: After surveying 9 people, 90% thought that a persons identity reflects how they speak.
Sweeping Generalizations: Everybody speaks a language.
False Dilemma: All people who have bad grammar are stupid.
Post Hoc/Ergo Propter Hoc: If someone can talk fluently then they have a good personality.
