My topic for the final paper is: Studying abroad can be beneficial for US-students.
Ad-hominem: I will avoid attacking people that do not want to study abroad.
Stereotyping: I will not state that people who study abroad know more about the world in general.
Faulty Sampling: If I am using statistics I will make sure they are representable and that a lot of people took part in the survey for it.
Sweeping Generalizations: If I interview students about their past study abroad experiences I will make sure to make clear that those are individual experiences and that they do not occur all the time.
False Dilema: I am trying to state different types of study abroad programs so that there is not only the opportunity to go on a study abroad or not.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc: Not everybody likes there study abroad experience.

I think that you have a good topic for the final paper. I think its smart of you not to state that people who study abroad know more about the world but instead just that it would be beneficial. I think that you could have a very well written paper because you are an example of this and probably know a lot of other people with similar experiences.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool topic that definately puts mine to shame. I like how you are being careful about even the type of survey you use so it doesnt falsely respresent anyone.
