In both Brazilian and American professional contexts, 'non-specific recommendations' are often criticized as unhelpful or inadequate, particularly in healthcare, consulting, and business. The term is frequently used to highlight a lack of customization or personalization. In Brazil, there is cultural emphasis on personal relationships and tailored solutions, making non-specific recommendations particularly likely to be viewed as impersonal or dismissive.
