You can not judge a book by its cover. Hello everyone! I'm submitting this assignment to you guys, in order to know if this respects well all the features of academic writing. This time we had to write an assignment with only the first and last sentence of each paragraph. This leads to an assignment of only 6 sentences, that therefore need to be perfect. This is academic writing and then I'd like to know if my text is well written. I chose a quote of Mark Twain : 'All generalizations are false, including this one' You can not judge a book by its cover Through their lives, humans are brought to meet very different people from different cultures, ethnic groups or countries, and are often tempted to treat them according to their membership of those communities, regardless their personality. […] Nonetheless, it appears that generalization might turn out to be hazardous, even more with the unfortunate events that have taken place recently and led people to put everyone in the same boat. It is peculiar to human beings to feel the need to belong to a community, to be part of a tribe, a nation, a culture. […] However, a trait such as the nationality is only one of the multiple parts of a person, and it is clear that one can be really different than someone else whom they only share this feature with. If it is sometimes the easiest way to judge a person, generalizing is a very narrow-minded process that often leads to a misunderstanding of others. […] The human being is a very complex creature and this is the reason why generalization does not make sense. Is my text coherent? Is the punctuation well used? Do you clearly see the point I'm making? Thanks in advance, Simon
