Fallacy of composition
The fallacy of composition consists of arguing that if a set is composed of parts that have a certain attribute or property, the set will have the same attribute or property. -
example:
Hydrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature
Water is composed of oxygen and hydrogen Therefore water is a gas at room temperature
example:
individuals have rights and obligations
a group is made up of individuals therefore the group (as a group) has rights and obligations
