You are talking about causation. Judging form your statement B is dependent on A. However trends can be coincidence.

An example would be on Fridays everyone wore purple. On any other they did not wear purple. Does not mean that people can not wear purple on other days it could be just peoples moods or laundry day. It could be other factors acting making the effect.

A and B could be dependent on C meaning that if C doesn't happen neither of them can happen. This means that you can not measure A's effect on B because of C.

What is an example of the logical fallacy called false causality?

False causality is the fallacy that since two events have happened, one caused the other. In logical terms: A, B therefore A --> B.Examples:"I have cooked dinner". "The television is on". "Therefore, cooking dinner turns the television on"."The number of pirates have been steadily decreasing, while the temperature of the earth has been slowly increasing. This is proof that pirates cool down the earth, hence global warming is a hoax."


Deductive reasoning is much better than inductive reasoning.?

Inductive reasoning takes a specific representative case or facts and then draws generalizations or conclusions from them. Inductive reasoning must be based on a sufficient amount of reliable evidence. In other words, the facts you draw on must fairly represent the larger situation or population. Example:Fair trade agreements have raised the quality of life for coffee producers, so fair trade agreements could be used to help other farmers as well.In this example the specific case of fair trade agreements with coffee producers is being used as the starting point for the claim. Because these agreements have worked the author concludes that it could work for other farmers as well.Deductive reasoning begins with a generalization and then applies it to a specific case. The generalization you start with must have been based on a sufficient amount of reliable evidence.Example:Genetically modified seeds have caused poverty, hunger, and a decline in bio-diversity everywhere they have been introduced, so there is no reason the same thing will not occur when genetically modified corn seeds are introduced in Mexico.In this example the author starts with a large claim, that genetically modified seeds have been problematic everywhere, and from this draws the more localized or specific conclusion that Mexico will be affected in the same way.


What influences did Descartes have on 18th and 19th century philosophy?

Descartes' questioning of what it means to be human, how we can escape solipsm, explain the self and believe in God had a large effect because it caused many following philosophers to consider the same issue. For example the philosoper Hume came up with many criticisms of Descartes, namely what exactly is 'I' in 'I think therefore I am.'
