Generalization is a written or a spoken statement in which you say or write

that something is true to all of the time when it is only true some of the time. It is
when you make a statement about all or most of the things, people together, you are
making a generalization. Therefore, a generalization a broad statement about a
group of people or things and it states something they have in common.

Some generalizations are valid or true and some are faulty or invalid. Valid
generalization means true, supported by facts, agrees with what you already know
about the topic, uses logic and reasoning, and proven with several examples. On the
other hand, faulty generalization means false or invalid, not supported by facts and
is usually uses these key words: none, all, always, never, everyone, and nobody.
There are some words that signal or give us a clue to recognize
generalizations. These are: sometimes, always, never most, many, all, generally,
seldom, and none.

Examples
Faulty Generalization Valid Generalization
1. All birds can fly. All birds have wings.
2. Chocolates is everyone’s favorite Some people like to have chocolate as
dessert. their favorite dessert.
3. Everybody loves popcorn. Many people like popcorn.
4. Only teachers wear glasses. Many people wear glasses.
5. All cats have brown fur. Some cats have brown fur.

REMEMBER:

A generalization is defined as a broad idea that is applied to a group of people

or things. Often, generalizations are not completely true, because there are
examples of situations wherein the generalization does not apply. In this respect,
generalizations can be compared to stereotypes in that they are sometimes
offensive.
