answer:There are exceptions to every “rule” and that includes most if not all generalizations about human behavior. People are very wary of generalizing nowadays. It’s just not “politically correct”. Yet it is one way we come to understand our world and understand society. There are still things you can say about how society works as a rule, and how society affects individuals. Maybe because the world is changing more rapidly than ever before people don’t trust in theories. I’m not sure that avoidance of theory is justified. In a way, when it comes to people, I think the more things change, the more they remaiin the same. The way we can know things as facts is by starting with observation but subjecting that observation to statistical analysis. But still, this only tells us what generally holds true. We can’t say many things with surety.
