Generalizing

In chapter 14 I felt that the section generalizing was the most helpful, because often times it can be very difficult to understand what someone needs or wants. As the book says, "We generalize every day, arguing from a claim about more.It is how we make sense of the world: What's happened before it is likely to happen again." Everyone generalizes at one point or another, so this section is very helpful, because you can try to work around it. In cases like this where it can be hard to know what to do when people are generalizing examples really help because they help you analyze the situation and decide weather or not the generalization is good, if the argument is good, and weather or not the unstated premises are needed about what is going on. I hope that this was helpful for everyone, and I look forward to seeing what everyone else thought was helpful!:)
