Is It Worth Judging People?

Judge. What does it mean to judge someone? According to Dictionary.com, to judge means “to form a judgment or opinion of; decide upon critically.” Everyone is guilty of judging someone once in their life, but judgments should not just be based on how someone looks or acts. If someone was to judge someone they should base those judgements once they know this person and have evidence for their judgements. Many people base their opinions on others solely on how alike they are, causing them to judge those who are different.

aloud, is this okay? All humans judge each other, that is one of our unconscious past times, we do it without thought to the consequences. We put ourselves in others positions and think we can do better, just as Mrs. Turpin does, in the story Revelation “what if Jesus had said, “All right you can be white-trash or a nigger or ugly!”(300). Mrs. Turpin prides herself on having good qualities and is sure she would be respectable even if she were black.

Sure, there are people that are incredibly nice and most non-judgemental, but even those people have made an assumption about someone else. For example, in The Great Gatsby Nick claims that his parents raised him not to judge

People should educate themselves on another person’s character and personality before forming an opinion about them. In the modern era, people are so quick to judge others and decide whether they admire that someone based on a first impression or preconceived notion. The ramifications of this are sometimes irreversible.

Those judgements can determine how a person can react in a given situation. As a black person, I still fear other blacks based off of how they look and act. Does this put me in the wrong for judging someone that I don’t know? I, myself, cannot answer that question no matter how much I think about it. Won’t it come down to the question of how much prejudice is too much prejudice?

Have you ever known what was really going on in somebody life. Well here's where that phrase ¨ Walking around in someone else's shoes in order to understand them¨ comes in to play. When someone is going through some acts of their life they have the rights on not to be judged. I think people should not be judged just by what they do or how they do stuff because you don't really know their story.

For example, the guy who picks up cans from the side of the road looks very different from the guy in a shiny new car, and who do people judge more? Most likely the guy picking up cans, but they can’t see from his point of view so they might assume that he’s poor but in reality he could just be doing a nice thing for the community that judges him. Maybe there’s a person that you know but aren’t really well acquainted with in your community that seems like a bad person, but you don’t really know that considering you aren’t close to that person. I feel like that relates to Miss Caroline in the story, because Scout automatically assumes that she is a bad person because she isn’t like every other teacher that have been there

I believe that everyone is guilty of judging others when seeing them for the first time, not even knowing their background, personality, or beliefs. We judge based not only on ethnicity or color, but also homosexuality, tattoos, the color of hair, etc. this is grouping by

According to Earl Nightingale, “When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.” This is a common thing that many people do throughout their lifetime. People might judge others to feel secure or to create an identity for themselves. Judging others by their appearance or by the things they own should not be a reason to dislike them. While it may be a common thing to do since we are all humans, it does come with some consequences. In Flannery O 'Connor 's short stories “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “Good Country People”, readers realize that the main characters tend to be judgmental about the people around them.

Another prominent issue with people today is the judging of one’s character based solely on their appearance. People are harsh with their words and quick to judge on another. This problem is especially seen with the younger generation of society, though is common amongst all people. Most people do not give others the honest chance to become well-acquainted because they have already judged the person

think you judge people but it's very common and kinda of a natural thing to do. When you see someone you may say to yourself that this person looks like this so his personality must be this.

No matter how open-minded a person may claim to be, everyone makes presumptions on first impressions or rumors. Despite seeing someone for only a split second, people make assumptions about others’ attitude, personality, and character! Usually, people tend to notice things that they feel are grounds to pass judgment upon. The quote “ You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it” by Harper Lee is a quote that truly signifies how people should perceive others. Rather than judging someone, people should place themselves in their shoes and try to understand their way of thinking

Our nature as humans is to judge others. We are programmed to judge everything for the benefit of ourselves. Think about it for a second. What do you do when you meet new people? You judge them from the way

Judging the unknown, that is what we as humans seem to do now instead of getting to know the person first. However, sooner or later we have to realize that in order to create a future worth living for we must stop and come together as one.

A famous person once said “Judging a person doesn’t define who they are. It defines who YOU are.” Don’t judge someone by how they look comes out in both of the stories “The Lion and the Mouse” by Rob John and “Wonder” by R.J Palacio. Both of the stories have characters that are different from others. Both of the characters get judged, but are very helpful in the end.
