A sweeping statement is basically a generalization. If your friend says that he dislikes ALL soccer players, that’s a sweeping statement encompassing every soccer player, and an unfounded one.

May I also ask u the difference between coerce and compel and also the difference between convince and satisfy?
- English (US)
@sophiashanpro Of course you may!
To compel someone is just to drive them to action through any mechanism; it has a fairly neutral connotation. To coerce someone, however, means more to force them to do something against their will (with threat, fraud, intimidation, etc.), and it has a much more negative connotation.
To convince someone means to make someone believe something in particular, using evidence or argument. To satisfy someone means to basically meet their needs, whatever they are.
I hope that helps you!
