There is a new student in our class. His name is Jean- Paul and he is French. He started at our school two weeks ago. He does not speak much Norwegian, but he will learn fast. He knows a lot about our country, because he has been here many times before. There are some girls in our class that are crazy about him, and that is no wonder at all! Jean-Paul is tall, dark haired and good looking.

Subject: Report about excursion at a kindergarten
I spent my excursion day at ‘’Utsikten’’ (The view) kindergarten. I was in the group with the youngest kids which are about one to three years old. Mostly I just played with the children and looked out for them. I had to be really careful and make sure that they wouldn’t hurt themselves or each other while playing. When you are working with kids that are so young, you need to know how to communicate with them. Using teenage-slang is not a good example. You need to know that

I have chosen to write a text about how we are so quick to judge other people based on our first impression of them. There are people all around the world that are trying so hard to fit in. Our society has become so obsessed with being perfect, that we’ve totally forgotten how to be ourselves. Or the fact that just being ourselves, is actually enough.
The pressure of being ‘’perfect’’ is everywhere. You have to have the perfect body, the best grades and be one of the most popular kids at school. There are so many different ways to judge others. We jump to conclusions without knowing the facts; we judge based on how someone chooses to dress, what they say and how they act. Even the culture or religion is a part of how we choose to see someone. There is a quote saying ‘’ don’t judge a book by its cover.’’ And I think that the same goes for people. You should not judge someone based on their outlook, before you have gotten to know the
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
People will judge others based on what they see. People react instinctively to what they see such as their the skin color, and their reactions are based on what they have been taught about them, whether it's true or not.
Subsequently, I myself am of course judged by superficial people in this society. From elementary to the present, people have categorized me as the quiet girl. Even teachers think I’m quiet. In actuality, I am only observing what surrounds me, and thinking about my current predicaments. When I was 6 and a half my mother lost custody of me, I was put into foster care for a year. I left Euclid. My hometown where all my friends lived, all my family, I left everything behind, I moved to
English Essay Valuable texts examine challenging ideas and attitudes. In Jasper Jones, a text valued for its insights and ideas, Craig Silvey outlines many ideas and attitudes that challenge the social perception and understanding of today. Firstly, he examines how people’s external appearances do not reflect their thoughts, actions and true selfs. Secondly, he investigates scapegoats and shows how many people who have responsibility thrust it on to other people, or in some cases, how people thrust this responsibility onto themselves.
In our society everyone expects to be the same, however, no one is ever going to be the exact same. Everyone has different beliefs and different interests. Today people judge the nice stuff people can afford and the way people dress. In the story, “The Doll’s House”, there were two girls known as the Kelvey sisters and they were really poor. “They were dressed in “bits” given to her by the people for whom she worked” (Mansfield 203). Nowadays people judge you on appearance and if you are dressed sloppy you are more likely to be made fun of. If you cannot afford the up to date things people have a reason that they don’t want to talk to you. If you are wealthy you are more likely to be judgmental. Not all people are like this but it is known
Growing up in a generation with high expectations of identity that are constantly altering whether it’s the latest trends, styles and even mind-set principles, can be over whelming. When asked to describe one-self, we often are stuck thinking of what particular word could fully describe who we are as a person. We have such a hard time of coming with just one word because there is no form of describing one’s self. How we see ourselves, we may not want to be that the next day. “Looks can be deceiving” or “the first impressions are the most important” is commonly instilled in our mindset which it is true to some extent. Our work
People are judged for their appearance all over the world, every day. People with brown, ragged clothes are assumed to be less intelligent, or homeless. People with long hair are assumed to be female. There are many stereotypes that limit the social actions of many people, and it is not just in real life. Rodman Philbrick shows that these stereotypes are not always true in the book “Freak The Mighty” in the form of Maxwell Cane, Kevin, Loretta, and Iggy Lee. All of those characters are misjudged by others, and in some cases, even by themselves. The message that your appearance does not determine who you are is very important, and applies to everyone everywhere.
In a perfect world, everyone WOULD be judged based on the content of their character. But we do not live in a perfect world and humans have always pre-judged others based on physical and cultural differences. These are the first things we notice about a stranger, and first impressions are hard to forget. Racism and prejudice have caused us to make dire mistakes in the past, but we have learned from these mistakes and have bettered our society. However, society today is filled with stereotypes and prejudices about people of certain races. It
Perspective is the way you see something. Many people around the world see each individual 's different and judge then by how they look and dress. A lot of people do this to make themselves feel better just like Francine Prose in “Confessions of a Ritual Tourist”. She would think the other tourist are disrespectful for not appreciating the ceremonies and think she is better than them. There this famous quote “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. This quote means if someone is trying to pick a book to read, the first thing they look at is the cover to decide whether it interesting. If people took their time to opened the book and look inside instead of judging the cover, they would found good books. This relates to reality when people make fun of each other when they never met before. They do this because they 're jealous that the other person is living a better life.
Unfortunately, the human race is very shallow. We tend to judge the appearances of others,
Have you ever thought about how people judge others without motives or reasons? Well this quite common in today’s world. We judge people by
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
People often judge or misperceive others appearances in a less than equal manner before they even know the true nature of the person. Every day we make assumptions by what we can see physically. Even in the supermarkets, we distinguish good products from bad products based on how they look. We are apt to choose good-looking products because they don’t have flaws, cracks, and bruises. Moreover, we assume them to have good qualities and good tastes. Actually, taste doesn’t deal with its looking. However, we bias in favor of assuming human nature. Since people judge human beings based on how they look, it is called prejudice. In fact, prejudice just disadvantage
I wish to convey to the reader that although the opinions of others can impact the shaping of our identities, there are other factors that also make a contribution. I chose these 3 topics to talk about because of their relevance to the topic of
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.
