What is another word for overgeneralize?
Pronunciation: [ˌə͡ʊvəd͡ʒˈɛnəɹə͡lˌa͡ɪz] (IPA) 
Overgeneralize means to make a broad statement or assumption without taking into account all the factors or specifics of a situation. Some synonyms for overgeneralize include: oversimplify, generalize, stereotype, categorize, pigeonhole, and exaggerate. When we overgeneralize, we ignore the nuances of a situation or group of people, and our conclusions become simplistic and often inaccurate. It is important to avoid overgeneralizing because it can lead to misunderstandings and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. A more effective approach is to gather sufficient information and assess a situation on its own merits, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution or assumption.
