"smoking among teenagers is increasing. teenagers are also more involved in violent crimes than they used to be. we need to ban the sale of cigarettes to kids under 18 before our cities turn into violent war zones." this is an example of what type of fallacy?

This is a faulty generalization, or a fallacy of defective induction. In these the premises are related to the conclusion but barely constitute an argument to get to it; they often lead to a rushed conclusion that isn't considering other important variables.

This is an example of a post hoc fallacy. A fallacy is when a belief is based on illogical arguments. They originated from reasoning that is logically incorrect, so it takes away the argument's validity. post hoc fallacies occur when it is expected that, because one thing occurred subsequently of another, it must have happened because of it.

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !
