Jumping to Conclusion

574 Words3 Pages
a) Jumping to conclusion: When we jump to conclusions, we make hasty generalizations. Example: A student may go to a college class on the first day and decide it is too much to handle, or overwhelming and drop the course before they even give it a chance. b) Two Wrongs: When it is assumed that it is acceptable to do something because other people are doing something just as bad. Example: When my brother use to call me names I would always come back with something a lot meaner. Once my mom would get us to shut up I would explain why I called him that and she would always say “two wrongs don’t make a right” c) Appeal to Pity: When emotion is used to replace logic or a “sob story”. Example: A student may attempt to be accepted to BMC because when they did their application they told sad events that happened in their life, using them as a reason why they deserve to get into BMC. d) Wishful Thinking: In wishful thinking an extremely positive outcome is proposed as a distraction from logical thinking. Example: If a student expects to get all A's because they think they deserve them but then the student doesn’t study. 1. Minimize distractions and Don’t judge too soon. Yes, I consider myself a good listener because if someone wants to talk about something with me I don’t talk I just listen to EVERYTHING they have to say before I judge, and even when I do hear the whole story or problem I still don’t judge as much as others might. 2. INTROVERT: When a person wants to rehearse what they are going to say before they say it. They enjoy peace and quiet. Maybe considered a little shy. EXTRAVERT: Social types who can easily start conversations with friends and strangers. Usually have many friends and know a lot of people. SENSING: This type of people collect information through the senses. “Seeing is believing” They want details and fact most
