Hasty Generalizations

                One of the most common illogical fallacy is the “hasty generalization.” This illogical fallacy means that one person jumps to a conclusion using evidence that cannot necessarily applied to the person or thing. A common occurrence of hasty generalization is prejudice. For example, if someone assumes that if a student attending Miami University likes hockey because all other Miami University students they have met like hockey, then a hasty generalization has been made based off prejudice.
