CONTENT ESSAY ERROR CHART U1 Generalization—Never speak in a general way about groups of people. Each individual person has a variety of traits, motivations, strengths, and flaws, and group differences are much more subtle and unimportant than most of us are led to believe.

Fix this by saying: seemingly or in my opinion. If you find any error for your U1, correct in YELLOW
