Chapter 7 Question 3


Generalization is one key topic that I found very interesting in this chapter. Generation is basically the act or process of generalizing. One thing that stuck out in my head when reading about generalization was stereotypes. For example, the typical stereotype that all Asians are smart. Although you might see many Asians that are smart, it is not true that all Asians are. Not only is generalization a part of stereotypes it is an everyday thing that every single person does. For example, I work at Tully’s Coffee here at SJSU in the Dinning Commons and I generalize peoples’ order, because they order the same drink every day. Therefore I can generation the fact that they will order it again the next time.
