Description: And we're very good at this sort of thing because our ability to stereotype people is not some sort of arbitrary quirk of the mind, but rather it's a specific instance of a more general process, which is that we have experience with things and people in the world that fall into categories, and we can use our experience to make generalizations

Reginald VelJohnson

Black lives certainly do matter - that's one thing. But, it's just that in every profession, there are bad, as well as there are good. I think it's wrong to make cops - or any group - out to be the enemy based on a generalization. Stigmas and generalizations about groups are what get this world into such turmoil.

American Actor

Daniel Lubetzky

I make mistakes daily, letting generalizations creep into my thoughts and negatively affect my behavior. These mistakes have taught me that the first step to successfully choosing kindness is being more mindful about it, letting go of impatience and intolerance along the way.

Mexican Businessman

Seth Gabel

I could have been on a path that led to different, more traditional teen romance, and 'Nip/Tuck' shook me loose from any generalization I might have been forced into. It helped me understand I wanted to take on things that were edgier, more challenging and riskier.

Lily Cole

As the generalization goes about the art industry, people can be really challenging and thought-provoking in their thinking and questioning the status quo, and it's really important that the status quo can be questioned and that there are people doing that.

English Actress

O. T. Fagbenle

When representation of the LBGT community was much more scarce in the media, I think there was some kind of pressure to encapsulate an entire community in a single character - this can often be a fast track to generalization and stereotypes.

British Actor

Derek Bok

The most obvious purpose of college education is to help students acquire information and knowledge by acquainting them with facts, theories, generalizations, principles, and the like. This purpose scarcely requires justification.

American Lawyer

Samuel E. Morison

Too rigid specialization is almost as bad for a historian's mind, and for his ultimate reputation, as too early an indulgence in broad generalization and synthesis.

American Historian

Mark Haddon

I think one of the things you have to learn if you're going to create believable characters is never to make generalizations about groups of people.

English Novelist

Marti Noxon

The problem with generalizations and judgments, the words we hurl as insults, is that they deny our humanity and our stories.

American Writer

John Lukacs

Generalizations, like brooms, ought not to stand in a corner forever; they ought to sweep as a matter of course.

Hungarian Historian

Be cautious when using generalizations to avoid promoting stereotypes, as they can be offensive or incorrect.

Avoid Stereotyping

Support your generalizations with multiple examples or evidence to make them more credible and accurate.

Evidence Support

Recognize that generalizations may not always be true for every individual situation or person.

Not Always True

Generalization in programming can lead to more efficient code by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.

Code Efficiency

Learning about abstraction is key to understanding generalization in programming as it deals with creating generic solutions.

Understand Abstraction

In biology, generalization is used to make sense of complex systems by identifying simpler, underlying principles.

Complex to Simple

Use generalization carefully in biology to ensure it does not overlook important exceptions or details.

Critical Thinking

 And we're very good at this sort of thing because our ability to stereotype people is not some sort of arbitrary quirk of the mind, but rather it's a specific instance of a more general process, which is that we have experience with things and people in the world that fall into categories, and we can use our experience to make generalizations
