  • This is the recurring problem i have between generalization and discrimination.

    For example, women are, on average, more sociable, but that generalization can harm women who do not fit the majority. The same applies to men, who are often expected to be quieter or less expressive, which can be isolating for those who are not.

    I don’t think generalizations are not inherently bad—they help us describe and understand patterns—but they are risky for exactly the reasons you point out.









  • I have been thinking about this, it would actually also be “Overdeveloped Countries”!

    “Developed Countries” aka USA and Europe like to talk about underdeveloped countries, they used them as examples and they are very patronizing about them, however they do not like talking about countries like the Scandinavians, where by comparison, THEY are the underdeveloped countries.

    On the other hand there is countries like India, which feels like it has already gone through multiple cycles of development.
