Nairaland And "the 'generalization' War". by predi(m): 9:30pm On Nov 19, 2007 |
[b][/b]most of the serious topics on nairaland hav always been marred by respondents on nairaland claiming-"generalization" on the part of posters. wu is really to pick out 'generalixation' in topics, posters i guess speak from personal point of views and should not be guilty of the ultimate sin of 'generalisation' on NIARALAND. or is it a way of deviatin from such topics. and pickin on xters on forums? hmmm- i wonda- ur tots pls gotta go watch the stupid catalina gal, i'll be back |

I have often wondered at that myself. I wish people will look up words before they use them. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck--then there is a high probability it is a "duck"----Nothing wrong with generalization if over 50% of a representative sample share common characteristics. What is the beef? @Predi I think it is a mark of half-baked education or semi illiteracy. Most need to get some sound education please! Enrol in a class called "Introduction to Logic 100" as an elective--or go online for some free wikipedia courses. Most Nigerian universities offer this--just for their own benefit. The only questionable form of generalization in logic if that of "hasty generalization". Most Nairaland topics do not even apply since most participants are devoid of any rational capacity. Anyone is free to make a "generalization" on his or her experiences and that is fine. If it does not hold true for another--that is fine too. Generalization making is part of a sound logical process--subjectively or objectively. I would wish most would recognize that before disseminating ignorance with the over use of the word "generalization"! This is plain English not vernacular. Nairalanders, please most of you should go back to school and learn not to approach topics with rustic simplicity based on primitive emotional content or frugal passion! Thank you for pointing that out! |
