Applied Epistemology

Verbatim excerpt from a student paper:

For instance, when the September 11 attacks occurred during 2001, and most people started blaming the Iraqi people and a dislike towards them was established, I was taught in my household not to blame all the Iraqi people for a mistake that one person committed. However, most people including some of my friends and relatives till this day are against Iraqi people because of what one person by the name of Saddam Hussein did. [...] In this situation they were committing a fallacy called hasty generalization.

As opposed to just being ignorant.
