Talk:Non sequitur

==Example==

"The most common example of non sequitur is any attempt to infer causation from correlation alone. An argument of causality--that is, that X caused Y--is always subject to weakening if one can show that:

# Y could have occurred with or without X.
# Another event, Z, actually caused Y.
# Y caused X rather than X causing Y. "

I'm sorry but this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

An argument which is a non-sequitur might proceed:
# Y occurred, closely followed by X.
# We conclude that Y caused X (or even X caused Y)
# (In fact another event, Z, actually caused both Y and X, but is not explored.)

'''Albania''' (officially the '''Republic of Albania''') is a country in the [[Balkans]], bordered by [[Montenegro]], [[Serbia]], [[Republic of Macedonia|Macedonia]], and [[Greece]].
In parts of northern Albania, families follow a code of [[ethics]] called the Kanun. This is not a religious document, but a sacred code of ethics. According to the Kanun, wealth is inherited through men, and women move to their husband's family's household when they marry. Marriages are normally arranged very early in life and women become the property of their husband's family.

The normal dress of men in Albania is usually pants and close-fitting caps. Women normally wear skirts covered by aprons. Their headgear is usually a headscarf and sometimes a veil. Albanians have an unusual way of regarding dress as a gender marker, however. Women who dress in masculine clothes are considered to be men and called ''virgjinesha'', or 'sworn virgins'.

Under Kanun law, these virgjinesha take a vow to become a man. Once they have done this, they act like men in all respects, and are treated as men by their family and the wider community, including being referred to by masculine pronouns and adjectives. However, unlike a normal man a virgjinesha never marries and preserves lifelong [[celibacy]].

There are two reasons under Kanun law why a woman might choose to become a man. One is if she chooses not to marry a man whom her parents have chosen for her. The other is if her parents have no sons and they require her to become a ‘man’, because in Albania only men can inherit family wealth or head households. This is the most common reason. <ref> http://www.jolique.com/gender/crossing_boundaries.htm</ref>
