Logical Fallacies

In the motion picture PCU, which is a fictional movie trying to depict how college life is, the use of logical fallacies are throughout the movie. A specific fallacy that stood out to me was hasty generalization. This became more evident while viewing the movie, we see how the different social groups interact with a particular club that the movie refers to as “the pit.” The people who are grouped in this organization were deemed and looked upon as losers, and potheads. They stereotype every member in the group, basically jumping to conclusions that everyone who associated with “the pit” are ignorant. This film is trying to generalize and stereotype a certain group of college kids, giving off the impression that college is based on who you hang around, and who you know.
