I could have made it to work on time if I didn’t have to stop and get gas.
This is an example of rationalization. This is a very weak explanation as to why one was late for work. Regardless of the excuse, they could’ve easily left a little early to stop and get gas and still make it to work on time.
I can speed even though it will risk a fine because everyone else does it.
This is an example of a bandwagon appeal because assumptions are being made that everyone else who drives speeds therefore making it okay that they speed as well. However, in reality, not everyone out there driving speeds. It could be that their friends/family speeds so they need to “fit in” making the thought more agreeable.
Only females can become nurses.
This is an example of polarization. This might’ve been the case several years ago however in today’s society, a male can be just as good of a nurse as a female. Even though female nurses are more commonly seen, males are just as capable of becoming a nurse as well.
