Critical Thinking: Distinguishing between Inferences and Assumption - Assignment Example

 Assumptions 1. Guys who have dreadlocks seemed to act accordingly with respect to their rock-star hairstyle and think that it would be cool to smoke marijuana and do pot sessions with their colleagues because they think that would make them cool and unique. The association of dreadlocks and marijuana is unjustifiable because there are people who prefer this hairstyle much better than the usual haircut because it could set them apart from others as some kind of representation of their personality, lifestyle, or maybe fashion. 2. Men looked at themselves as jack-of-all-trades that they don’t even ask for some advice or suggestions on how to balance family life and career.

This assumption is incorrect because the couple who have just recently got in from India may be tourists or visitors in that country and not Hindu or Islam followers at all. 4.
