3. A generalization
is a specific kind of conclusion. All generalizations are
conclusions, but not all conclusions are
generalizations. A generalization is a broad statement
that applies to many examples. A generalization is
formed from a number of examples or facts and what
they have in common. Example: All animals that have
feathers are birds.

to Generalization:
SUBTÍTULO

5. Generalization:
 is a process by which one makes a sweeping
statement that is meant to extend to all entities.
One could also describe generalization as the
drawing of overall conclusions about a group of
people or events. Many find this term easier to
understand after examining some examples, such
as the following.

6. One example of generalization
would be to say that dogs hate cats. In
general, most know that this is true.
However, here, one can see the drawback of
generalizing. There are certainly exceptions
to this rule. Some dogs do not hate cats.

7. Another example of
generalization would be to say
that girls like to shop. Certainly,
many girls do like to shop.
However, in generalizing, the ones
who do not are not mentioned
because the person doing the
generalizing does not see them as
the norm

8. A valid generalization
 must never be based on personal opinions about
an isolated issue. Generalizations must be built on
supporting facts, enough examples, past
experiences, and logic and reasoning. Never, all,
sometimes, most, always, none, everybody,
everyone, society, some, almost, only, empty are
some words that help you to make or identify a
generalization. Example: The climate in Mexico is
generally warmer than that of the northern United
States.

In another Word Generalization

10.  For example: Let’s read the following sentences to
see if they are a valid generalization.
1. Electricity is found almost everywhere.
2. We all have to use Electricity.
3. Electricity is something you cannot understand.
4. The earth goes around the sun.
5. Learning a foreign language is very difficult.

11. A generalization sometimes can
provide examples of a general term.
That is to say that sometimes we can
identify a generalization because
there is an exemplification about the
general term that the author is
referring to in the text.

12. Example:
A chemical element is a type of atom that is
distinguished by its atomic number; that is, by
the number of protons in its nucleus. The term
is also used to refer to a pure chemical
substance composed with the same number of
protons. Common examples of elements are
iron, copper, silver, gold, hydrogen, carbon,
nitrogen, and oxygen. In total there are 118
elements of which 92 occur naturally on earth.
12
Based on the exemplification of elements we
can find a general term and divided it into its
specific terms.
-General term: chemical element
-Specific terms: iron, copper, silver, gold,
hydrogen, carbon, etc.

Activity #1
In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals
such as copper, gold, iron and silver typify conductors, while most non-metallic
solids like rubber, glass and quartz are said to be good insulators, having
extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them. "Conductor"
implies that the outer electrons of the atoms are loosely bound and free to
move through the material. Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and
are insulators. In copper, the valence electrons are essentially free and strongly
repel each other. Any external influence which moves one of them will cause a
repulsion of other electrons which propagates, "domino fashion" through the
conductor.
Simply stated, most metals are good electrical conductors, most nonmetals are
not. Metals are also generally good heat conductors while nonmetals are not.

Activity #2
Earth is an abundant source of materials. The air we breathe, the water we drink, stones and
rocks, almost everything that is around us, are all useful to man for some purpose or the other.
Gaseous materials like Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon dioxide are found in the atmosphere.
Common salt and various other salts of sodium, magnesium and calcium are found dissolved in
water bodies, like the oceans, rivers and lakes.

Activity #3
Technology has advanced to the point that most homes and people have a long list of
electronic devices that they use. Even things that just a few years ago were not a normal part
of daily life, finds a way to become ingrained in people's lives; A list of some commonly used
and owned electronic devices include, the television, camera, DVD player, DVR, Blu-ray player,
Tivo, cell phone, tablet, and computer. Many people would feel lost without their favorite
electronic device.
