1. I think it is not possible to learn about cultural patterns without any kind of cultural generalization. Cultural generalization allows an individual to have a broad idea regarding a particular group or culture in general (Yin, 2013). Therefore, it is easy to know at least few things about that particular culture of group. Generalization is not entirely true, therefore, there is a need of doing further research after getting a general idea for knowing in a profound manner.
