    This document discusses assumptions and fallacies in critical thinking. Assumptions are things taken for granted without proof, which can interfere with critical analysis by influencing conclusions without evidence. To avoid making assumptions, one should question preconceived notions and actively seek evidence before reaching conclusions. Fallacies are flaws in reasoning, such as making invalid comparisons, that undermine arguments. Fallacies are commonly used in written, oral, and visual arguments to distort logic. To avoid fallacies, one should carefully evaluate arguments for logical gaps or misleading information.
