Quickwrite 11/29

Topic: Has consumerism caused us all to only find happiness in materialistic goods?

Ad hominem: focus on the topic at hand instead of blaming the media, the rich, and the corporations
Stereotyping: i will not use the words "everyone" for this paper topic, and i will not stereotype the media as an evil
Faulty Sampling: i will make sure the articles and samples i use are used accordingly to the idea at hand
Sweeping Generalizations: avoid the words "everyone" and "always", and use the words "sometimes", "usually" and "most"
False Dilemmas: i will not give a yes or no, right or wrong answer. i hope to discuss the topic at hand and show the importance of the increase in happiness based off of materialistic goods.
Post Hoc/ Ergo Propter Hoc: i will not give an answer to this topic that is only based off of recent events. i hope to explore the whole idea itself.
