An overgeneralization is a conclusion drawn from insufficient evidence, typically involving broad statements that apply to all instances based on a few examples. For instance, saying "All teenagers are irresponsible" based on a few personal experiences with unruly teens is an overgeneralization. This overlooks the many responsible and mature teenagers, leading to an inaccurate and unfair stereotype.
