Question 1
When it comes to perceiving others in my own personal opinion I believe to a certain extent we tend to judge people. I’m not saying that we all gather around and criticize people for the fun of it, but it tends to happen. But I don’t believe that all judgment and categorizing is essentially bad. In some cases it is like racial profile or judging a persons character based on the way the dress or look. But sometimes it’s innocent. A good example of this could be we see an athletic individual in their sports uniform. Based on their appearance we could assume that they are on a sports team. How we could make our judgments fairer is that we need to realize that we truly don’t know some of the people that we judge. We need to remind ourselves that that maybe we’re not normal and that we should be fairer when judging.

Hi Orson, great post! I agreed with you that judging sometimes is innocent. We have learned to put people into categories and sometimes we judge people by a certain stereotype that they fit into, but sometimes that stereotype may be false. Not everyone who wears a sports jersey is athletic. Not every girl who joins a sorority only wants to party. Sometimes we have to rethink how and when we base judgments based on appearance because sometimes they can be very wrong. How would you feel if you were judged by someone because they thought u looked a certain way?
