How does someone make a personal preference seem like a universal rule?

The rule

A person can present a personal preference as a universal rule.

This makes the preference seem more important. It also makes it harder to question.

A person can say a rule comes from a higher power or a community. This makes the rule seem absolute. It makes the rule non-negotiable. This changes a personal choice into a moral or spiritual issue. It can make a simple choice seem like an act of rebellion.

A parent tells a student they cannot date a certain person. The parent says, 'Our family's traditions forbid this.' The parent does not say, 'I do not like that person.' This makes the student's choice seem like a rejection of family values. It is not just a personal preference of the parent.
