universalize
Apply to all
To universalize something is to make it universal—to extend it beyond a particular case so it applies generally or everywhere.
Philosophers universalize moral principles: Can we universalize this rule? Would it hold if everyone followed it?
Policies get universalized when extended to cover entire populations.
The word often appears in contexts of ethics, education, or social programs.
