Great post Gianna! Awesome explanation on perception and attribution. I know what you are talking about I had the same problem with one of my sales she was not very friendly as well. But in the end, she had something going in her life as well. Then she opened up to me and I got to know her better and she's a cool person. You are right you should not judge a person by a first impression and might not be having a good day or probably going through something
Hi Nyla, nice post! I agree with your comment, I think a person is more vulnerable when they’re experiencing distress verses when things are going well. I believe when things start to spiral when a person believes that it cannot happen to them and their in change of a situation. It often leads from being controlled to uncontrollable especially when pleasure is involved. A person may began as an occasional user or using in moderation. A person’s mind tricks them into believing that they may be able to handle their consumption or intake all the while forgetting that one may become many when dealing with pressures, escaping, having fun, or is septitable from family history traits of abuse. A person’s heart speaks values to intervene to them as
Great post! You stated some very good points, and I completely agree with you. I agree on your statement, that every day is a struggle because it truly is. Individuals that have to wear glasses must have to learn to adjust to wearing them. Individuals constantly have to care for their glasses because they could easily get lost or broken. It is always important that an individual have the proper eye wear if not they are still in the same situation of not being able to see. It sucks that individuals get teased for something that is crucial for their health. This is a problem because it makes kids too afraid or ashamed to say they can’t see or that they need help. I agree, children need to take care of their vision problems, so that they
In the story Thank you, M’am by Langston Hughes, After Mrs. Jones brings Rogers in her house, she treats Rogers as if she was related to him. In paragraph 30 the author writes, “Then we’ll eat,” said the woman, “I believe you’re hungry—or been hungry—to try to snatch my pocket book.” This quote supports the claim because Mrs. Jones gave a boy she just met some food for free which a relative would for you. It also supports the claim because if she wouldn’t act like she was here relative, she wouldn’t give him free food. Another piece of evidence is in paragraph 22, the author writes, “When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside, down a hall, and into a large kitchenette-furnished room at the rear of the house. This quote supports the
There many disease flying on the air and some of those disease are incurable. Imagine being in pain for days without hope of resolving the issues. A person in pain would be relive if he/ or she can commit suicide.The problem is, terminally ill patients are in stress of dying. Does patients should be allowed to commit suicide because of pain?. How does family of patients cope with stress of paying bills? If the illed person did not commit suicide what will the side effects of medicines and treatments do to his body. What we must understand is that terminally ill people are in pain and don’t have the option to end their own suffering by committing suicide. By not giving them the option to die, we are installing their suffering and death. Person terminally ill should be able to decide when to end their own life
Even though it’s common to judge others based on appearance, these judgements are not always accurate.
As if someone is supposed to be nice because people like them. In our minds, they are perfect, when in reality, that person could be ugly inside or even struggling

The character Mrs. Jones from the story "Thank You M'am" clearly shows the theme of helping others. For example, in the story on page two, Mrs. Jones says, "'Then it will get washed this evening,' said the large woman starting up the street, dragging the frightened boy behind her." This demonstrates the theme of being helpful to others because she wanted to help Roger even right after he tried to steal from her when she could have just left him on his own. Another quote from the story that shows the theme of helping others is on page 3, when Mrs. Jones says to Roger, “Well, you didn’t have to snatch my pocketbook to get some suede shoes,” said Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. “You could of asked me.”
Author :Langston Hughes,He had difficulties as a young African American in the early 1900’s,then he began writing poetry to cope with this.He felt it was important to write about his African American experience.This story is one of his many stories about city life for African Americans.
In “Thank You Ma’am” written by Langston Hughes, a young boy by the name of Roger attempts to steal the purse of a woman of the streets. Roger’s growth was greatly impacted through the teachings of Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones, about choice, trust, and about honesty. As Roger is caught he learns a valuable lesson from the compassionate woman who treats him with kindness rather than reporting him to the police. If a person who was nearly robbed caught the thief they would not have been so kind as to do the things the Ms. Jones did for her robber. Every life decision made is a choice, people choose to go one way or another. Roger chose to steal the purse of the women on street. He chose to put himself in a situation that could potentially end badly. After his encounter he did not expect to receive the kindness that he did from the women.
If someone sees something they don't like about one another then they easily point it out, that's not the way it should be. “Never judge a book by its cover” is a famous quote that many still use today. If one judges someone else without knowing what that person has been through then it's not right. Because people have different mindsets, like different things, and have different backgrounds,
Have you ever seen someone where there clothes are ripped and gross and they may stink they are skinny and just look like a walking corpse and they just beg and plead for even a penny, you instantly judge them Without knowing anything about this person you assumed
Additionally, I disagree that first impression is almost impossible to change. The reason why is that the way a person looks, their personality, and their communication skills are all ways that can change your whole point of view on a individual. The reasons are looks, cause looks can be deceiving, personality cause being honest no matter what is key, and communication skills are caused by you listening can help you on your first impression. Therefore by taking the time, day, hours, and efforts to get to know someone can benefit you from not judging a book by its
You Forever Love was sweet and my favorite from The Bennett Family series. Pippa and Eric’s relationship was simple and full of hope. The family that became Pippa + Eric + Julie, was super sweet. I love how they just clicked together, like they were always family. I love how sweet and very toned Pippa and Eric’s story was, compared to the other two books. Of course I really enjoyed the how the story is set in San Francisco, my favorite city. Even though their relationship was meant to be temporary, I always knew that they deserved more. Love the happy ending and can’t wait to read more.
My wife and I had found that based on our first impressions of the waitress, that we were expecting a similar result with the waiter. In a sense, we were stereotyping the waiter even before we met him and continued to do so throughout our whole experience at the restaurant. We were judging everyone at the restaurant based on our initial experience, and not thinking about everyone on an individual basis. The waiter obviously wanted to make a great first impression, because he knew that if he did not that he would have to deal with the possibility of not receiving a tip. “Although impressions may well change as people get to know you better, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. It’s best to make that first impression count in your favor” (Nevid, 2014, p.
