RE: Generalizing Makes Sense Because Individuals Are Rare

in #individualism8 years ago

I think there needs to be a differentiation between okay generalisation such as "People from Country X are patriotic" which isn't defamatory or insulting and bad derogatory generalisation such as "People from Country Y are lazy". The line can be thin but common sense will usually get you through. Also, agreed 100% on your point that generalisations make sense because people really are not that unique for the most part.

Sort:  

Those generalizations are the same thing, though?
