What is another word for generalisations?

Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˌɛnəɹəla͡ɪzˈe͡ɪʃənz] (IPA)

Generalisations are statements or opinions made about a group of people, actions, or things that are based on limited information or experience. However, there are many words that can be used instead of the term generalisations, such as abstractions, overviews, simplifications, stereotypes, conjectures, assumptions, or categorisations. These words are often used to describe the act of making broad statements that do not accurately reflect the realities of a situation. Rather than relying on generalisations, it is important to consider the nuances and complexities of any given situation and to avoid making assumptions. By doing so, we can better understand the world around us and make informed decisions based on evidence and facts.

Famous quotes with Generalisations

  • He arrives at two generalisations: No sea-creature is less than two inches long. (2) All sea-creatures have gills. These are both true of his catch, and he assumes tentatively that they will remain true however often he repeats it.The casting of the net corresponds to observation; for knowledge which has not been or could not be obtained by observation is not admitted into physical science. An onlooker may object that the first generalisation is wrong. "There are plenty of sea-creatures under two inches long, only your net is not adapted to catch them." The icthyologist dismisses this objection contemptuously.
    Arthur Eddington
  • For crude classifications and false generalisations are the curse of all organised human life.
