I'm looking for a word that can describe a statement that uses words (or sentiments) like "all" or "never" and applies to a wide domain. There is no implication of validity or accuracy, but I would be welcome to those suggestions as well.
"Sweeping" is as close as I can think of, but it feels like there is a better word for this.
Some examples:
- Policemen are suspicious.
- No children like broccoli.
- All music is banned.
Thanks!
