Why? Because it leads to assumptions. Sometimes, wrong or cruel assumptions. I hate people who like to generalize a thing like all women are weak. All taxi drivers are rude. All men are pigs. Or working as a helpdesk is actually doing nothing and a simple job in the world.
And, all people who is a graduate no matter diploma, degree or master or whatever is intelligent and perfect.
The story below is told by Atoy to me which reminds me another effect of generalization.
Pakcik kepada Anas : Anaih! Pi cari marton sat kat belakang.
Anas: Sat nak pi cari
After 15 minutes,
Pakcik: (yelling) Anaih! Awat lama sangat hang cari marton. Haih, mengaji ja sampai universiti, carik marton pun tak reti.
Anas: Orang pi universiti bukan pi belajaq macam mana nak cari marton.
Then, those two start yelling to each other....
See? What generalization can do to you?
