Generalization

Taking one or a few specific examples and presenting them as proof of a widespread pattern. A single story becomes "this is what always happens." Concrete examples are vivid and memorable, so the leap to a general rule feels natural but is often unjustified.

Appealing to your emotions — fear, joy, anger, sadness — to make an argument feel compelling. Rather than persuading through evidence, it works by putting you in an emotional state where you're more receptive. The emotion becomes the proof.
