Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Common Practice / "Everybody’s Doing It"

 

Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Common Practice / "Everybody’s Doing It"

The Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Common Practice / "Everybody’s Doing It" occurs when peer pressure and what people are doing around you has an influence on your own thoughts, words, and actions. This is related to the Cool Idolatry fallacy.

Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Common Practice / "Everybody’s Doing It"

You know that the speed limit is absolute and you want to obey the laws, but everyone else goes seven miles over. Pretty soon, you find yourself going seven miles over as a regular way of driving.

At first, you hate the taste of alcohol and have no desire to drink it; but all your friends go out drinking, and you don’t want to be left out. In a short time, drinking is just part of your life.
