Read the passages below and answer the question. Mr. Webb: Every man that's ever lived has felt that way about it, George; but it hasn't been any use. It's the womenfolk who've built up weddings, my boy. For a while now the women have it all their own. A man looks pretty small at a wedding, George. All those good women standing shoulder to shoulder making sure that the knot's tied in a mighty public way. ... Mr. Webb: Oh, yes; oh, yes. Don't you misunderstand me, my boy. Marriage is a wonderful thing; wonderful thing. And don't you forget that, George. In at least one hundred words, explain how George and Emily's reluctance to follow through with their marriage is an example of universality.

To answer the question, Universality must first be understood.

Universality refers to the phenomena which has a  quality that involves or is shared by all people or things in the world or people/objects in a particular group.

So it's very close to the wedding and Georges and his prospective Father in-law Mr. Webb, enter into a discussion about marriage and weddings.

As the older and more experienced male, Mr. Webb validates Georges feelings about the upcoming wedding. According to Mr. Webb, "Every man that's ever lived has felt that way about it".

In that statement lies the assertion that reluctance to follow through on marriage proposals are not unique to George and Emily and that it is a common phenomenon.

Cheers!
