There is a maxim that goes: don’t judge my life by the chapter you walked in on. When we violate this maxim, what kind of sample are we using (voluntary, random, convenience)? Given that we are using that kind of sample, what mistakes are we liable to make? Describe a concrete scenario in which a person, because he/she violates this maxim, ends up misjudging another. Lastly, do you think that it is common or uncommon for people to violate this maxim?

You are using the random sample. If you meet Sally for the first time on a day that she is having a bad morning because she is running late she may be more snappy than usual. You should not judge her for this because it is not an accurate representation of her overall personality. Meeting her at that one moment in time when she was upset does not show how she is overall as a person. That is why people say a first impression is very important, but if you were to judge Sally for being snappy and you decided that she did not like her from that moment forward you could be missing out on having a good new friend.

step-by-step explanation: the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen (french: déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789), set by france's national constituent assembly in 1789, is a human civil rights document from the french revolution.[1]

the declaration was drafted by the abbé sieyès and the marquis de lafayette, in consultation with thomas jefferson.[2] influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. it became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law. it is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the fourth french republic (1946) and fifth republic (1958) and is still current. inspired by the enlightenment philosophers, the declaration was a core statement of the values of the french revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in europe and worldwide.[3]

the 1789 declaration, together with the 1215 magna carta, the 1689 english bill of rights (1689), the 1776 united states declaration of independence, and the 1789 united states bill of rights, inspired in large part the 1948 united nations universal declaration of human rights
