How Is It Human Nature To Judge
This I Believe

This I believe, as people it is human nature to judge. Whether it is judging food by the look, to judging book covers, to judging other people. It's human nature to judge. Being me I have judged things numerous times, I do it a lot actually but I want to become better. Growing up I have seen people and have said to myself "that person doesn't look very nice" or "what's he wearing?". But I was taught not to judge growing up. Like the famous saying "don't judge a book by its cover" my parents, and my church would show videos of people judging. One thing I have loved doing while growing up was skateboarding! I don't skate anymore but when I was younger it was a huge hobby of mine but many things I remember about going to skateparks was how I thought how mean the kids were. I remember this specific time when I was just doing my own thing, and I saw this kid skate by and I thought to myself "he looks like a jerk" he dressed completely different from me he had a black T-shirt with some writing on it like a band, and he had ripped grey jeans. Anyways I remember thinking that to myself just by the way he looked. So the day went on and I was skating around and I ran over a rock and fell right on the floor. If you have ever skated you would know that a pebble on the ground is the devil to any skater. After

I'm not saying I never judge I mean of course I do but I don't judge as much as I used to when I was younger. Me, I was awful about that. If I can get better anyone can. I was recently at sandstone a skatepark with my friends just hanging out and a lot of the people there we're actually very friendly and talked to us about a lot of things, and well we made new friends just by them being friendly. And honestly they don't look like people that would be very friendly, but the were. Yes, I did judge them when we we're there and I'm not

    “It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.”(Leadbeater) Many people believe the way something is perceived, is always the way that it appears to be. In reality, there might be more to a person he is willing to show. If we assume that the way someone or something is seen is always as it appears to be, we would be lying to ourselves. A surplus of people are not exactly how they are seen to be. We should not judge someone too harshly as we may not have all of the facts or details of what is really happening to a person. Perceptions can override our abilities to correctly judge our peers and even ourselves, which can be very impactful.…

    In life people are always going to judge you on physical appearance. No matter what you do and how you try it's always going to happen.This is why a great deal of people feels so self conscious. They think people talk about them and say bad stuff. In the Outsiders by S.E Hinton they focus on how people judge Greasers and Socs. You can by when Cherry saw Pony she didn’t think he was a Greaser. In this I’m going to be talking about Judging people.…

    I learned this lesson when I was just a young girl. I was in the 6th grade I think and it was these group of girls (preps) and they seemed that they were mean. I was new at the school and I really didn’t know the girls for myself so I just went with what everyone else was saying. A couple of months past and I haven’t talked to the girls because of what some of the other kids had told me. I finally got the courage to talk to the group of girls and when I did I came to the conclusion that they were nothing like the other people had described them. They were really nice and they had an awesome personality. After this day I have came to the conclusion that I would not judge anyone unless I got to know them myself.…

    First we have age. I am eighteen years old. I love being eighteen years old but sometimes the expectations and stereotypes are just too much. I am now a young adult that is able to buy tobacco and lotto, if I wanted to. I do not buy tobacco or lotto though, because I am expected to always do the right thing. Buying these products wouldnt be the right thing because they are bad for my health. If I am suppose to always do the right thing, then why do I get stereotyped anyways, whether what I do is right or wrong. Mostly elders stereotype me for my age. They say shes too young, naive, or irresponsible. It is not because I have ever done anything wrong in my life but because of my age. Many elders look at my age and say shes young not knowledgeable, which isnt true. I graduated high school. I go to college. I am expected to go to college. If I wasnt going to college I think that I would have a lot more crap coming my way. Many people try to judge me before they know me. Since they know the age frame that I am in, they think they can judge me. But they cant! I wont let it happen any more. I go to college full time and I have two part time jobs. Once people find this out they usually stop talking because they are embarrassed of what they said about me and they usually apologize for judging me in the first place. Everyone knows that being so young and taking on so many responsibilities isnt…

    Social judgment theory holds that when a message is heard the receiver of the message immediately forms an opinion on the matter. The individual then categorized the opinion into one of three divisions known as attitude zones. From this point on, every new message about the same topic is compared with ones present point of view on the subject.…

    It is my belief that, in society today, everyone has the tendency to judge people. These judgments, whether rational or irrational, are, more often than not, based on biases and prior beliefs. These judgments could be right but, is it right to judge people? In a sense, can judging people based on your own perceptions be acceptable? There is the age old proverb: Don’t judge a book by its cover. This idea seems to be very true, because often we make judgments when we first meet a person. As we begin to understand and associate with this person we tend to find our judgment was not exactly correct, and that we misunderstood the true nature of this person. However, what if we stop making our judgments and not following our first instinct? Suppose we do not judge someone as a bad person, and therefore they take advantage of us. So should we try and avoid judging people? That too could become harmful to us in the future. In the oncoming sections I will show how judging people can be helpful in some cases; however I will also show how judging people so quickly can be wrong as well. In the end, I do believe that…

    Who Judges

    Do you ever find yourself out to judge others? Or do you find yourself people watching on a busy afternoon at the mall, passing judgment over someone’s looks, style you name it? We all may try to deny it, but we all know that at some point or another we’ve judged someone without even knowing an ounce about them. Why do we judge? What does it do for us? Why don’t we take time to get to know someone before outright judging them assuming we wouldn’t want a thing to do with them?…

    When I go out in public with my cousin people always stare at me when he acts up like you need to control that kid. Or they say that kid is so annoying. I hate it when people do that because it would be no different if he were your kid. People look at me funny when I have to hold his hand because he is only 9. When we get into a large crowded areas it just feels like everybody just stops and stares at me. When we go to the Iowa state fair I have to help. It just doesn't make any sense to me that people would just make fun of somebody with a disadvantage.…

    Snap Judgements

    I know there is many ways to avoid making snap judgments. I just have to get to know the person before I think I know them. If you have a feeling about something, you should do some investigating first to make sure you don’t stereotype (Interplay pg. 123) people. We need to avoid making judgments towards to people. If we keep running into this problem there is going to be a lot of conflicts in the future. People might make you seem like the bad person. Others might not want to be your friend, if you sit there and judge people, before getting to know them. You may also judge someone that could be a great friend to you, but you will never know because you didn’t give him or her a chance. Also when you fight with someone and stereotype them, the argument will turn for the worse and you may lose someone important to you.…

    Dont Judge

    For the first example of how we all judge people before we know them, I ask you to imagine with me. Picture yourself really hungry and own your way to your favorite fast food spot. Just for reference we’ll say you’re headed to McDonalds for a Big Mac meal. You pull into the parking lot and smell that fresh golden fry goodness. Your mouth starts to water and you can darn near already taste that burger and fry. You walk through the front door and up to the counter to place your order. Out of the back comes a young lady to take your order. As she walks towards the counter you’re checking out her appearance, and you notice that her uniform is completely stained from what looks to be food related spills. However, none of these stains look as if they happened today, this week, nor this year. As she draws nearer to the cash register you get a whiff of a pungent body odor that puts you in the mind of underarms and lucky gym socks. She completes her journey to the counter and asks that age old question “How can I help you”. You notice that she has what at some point in the past had to have been teeth, but is now jagged pieces of tooth remnants that are covered with plaque and decay. You also notice the worst possible smell on earth coming from her mouth. It has the odor of a fart puking on the interior of a colostomy bag. Do you feel the expression on your face right now? Are you still going to eat there? Do you see how you just judged this fictitious young lady by her appearance?…
