dont forget that our brains are 'wired' to compartmentalize things, which is another way to 'generalize' the information we take in and use it to make choices,,,, Generalization don't mean segregation,sorting out or classification. I interpreted her to mean sorting from very general to less general categories looking at our brains as, for example, large folders with folders within folders and files within files....I realize that is a bit simplistic |

dont forget that our brains are 'wired' to compartmentalize things, which is another way to 'generalize' the information we take in and use it to make choices,,,, very true - a good point - it is to a great extent how we are biologically wired to process information - generalizing & compartmentalizing allows us to prevent over stimulation, sort categories - for further breakdown....(less generalization) later sometimes I wonder, however, how long should that process really take. I mean most adults past age 18 should know that there is no such thing as all men or all women doing anything 
yes, but we also weigh our 'odds' the purpose of experience is to take something that is specific to us (But general to the world) and learn something from it I learned not to go jogging alone in the park because of my personal experience being assaulted do I believe that everyone jogging alone gets mugged ? no , of course not but I just would rather not take that chance again,,, |

I have never claimed to be fairly balanced so I guess I make a lot of generalizations. But when you are an extremist like I am balanced is always something to hope for. 
Extremist?? In what way am I? Do you mean Idealistic? I generally get hung up on altruism.

I can understand,it's not easy to avoid generalization every time but I found many people are generalizing unnecessary. Is it due to the fact that generalization creates more controversy & such topics gets more response? Few generalized topics I seen here are really unnecessary & funny too.anyone who has fairly balanced thinking will not ever tolerate those thoughts. To my opinion generalization in any matter always makes injustice to someone somehow. What do u think?

Earlier this year, I nearly died twice. I had a live in boyfriend who was very abusive which I have mentioned before. It was very bad to the extent that I went into PTSD. However, my form of PTSD took shape of me securing down the house and arming myself to the teeth. I was still an emotional wreck but I was an emotional wreck that you would have a really hard time getting into her house and she would hurt you badly if you did. |

Do u mean,u hv came across same/similar topic before too? I think it is quite possible because 1.There are plenty of topics here on mingle & obviously I didn't checked all those before posting to avoid repetition. 2.I guess there must be few ODD people like me who gets irritated after seeing generalizations which don't make any sense.& most probably some one must have tried to share his views before too. |
