The Either-or-Reasoning Logical Fallacy is focusing on one reasoning for the cause one event. We focus on one idea and use this as the focus of our aspect alluding that this is the main and only cause of one event. We do not think about other alternatives because we become persistent with this that one reason. We simplify a complex issue, and not giving other possibilities to be open. In a way, we are being bias by not being open to other alternative reasons or other aspects. An example, would be the penguin below. The penguin have the logic that penguins are old TV shows because old TV shows are black-and-white and so are penguins. The penguin excluded other reasoning that there could such as they could be an animal or their evolution process to explain why there are black-and-white.
How to avoid Either-or-Reasoning:
Be open to other possibilities
Be open minded
Carefully provide and evidence to certain reasoning
Avoid coming as being bias
Do research
Don't be a penguin.
