A. What are Generalizations?
Everybody knows that we generalize. We do it all the time. All of us. Nobody can deny it. (If those sentences sounded a bit overgeneralized, they were supposed to!)
Many of our beliefs are based on Generalizations about people, situations, various aspects of life--and about ourselves. Some of these generalizations serve us well; others can create unnecessary problems.
It is important to realize that Generalizations are not inherently bad. Without them, we would have to evaluate every experience from scratch. They help us make quick decisions and recognize patterns. The problem is that many of our generalizations are incomplete, exaggerated, or simply inaccurate.
In this article, we will see how generalizations become harmful when we mistake them for universal truths, and how to evaluate them and replace them with beliefs that are more accurate and more useful.
