Pre-Judging People

In today’s society, we face prejudice every day in many forms. Most people in today’s society have either been victims of prejudice or are guilty of exhibiting prejudice towards others.

It has been thoroughly thought over what current topic or issue that people experience in most environments today, at both a micro and macro level that would be able to be examined and have come to the decision of looking at the most widely discussed subject, prejudice. All people are affected by prejudice in one way or another and it can impact on people's lives depending on what form it has taken. Also to be able to acknowledge that all people can be prejudices and see this is the first step to overcoming it.. The question that has been decided upon is that of “What types of prejudice do we see commonly today and how do they affect an individual at a micro and macro level?”

Prejudice is when we have a preconceived opinion about someone or a group of people that is formed without knowledge, or even a real understanding about them.

Society judges people based on matters predetermined by elements of their lifestyle. A demographic approach from birth to death greatly affects the outlook of the world and others on the planet. Understanding the refusal to accept others based on patriotism and ethnocentrism branches into our values and beliefs passing on to children and ultimately the world. The ignorance that fuels each side’s judgments. Western and Eastern worlds’ ignorance exhibit aspects of religion, culture, politics, and status. Disagreements between different peoples regarding religion, culture, politics, and social status will arise, as seen throughout history.

Why Do People Judge? No one can deny that most people are quick to judge; whether it be how someone looks or how they act, there is always something to say about someone. When it all comes down, we are all on Earth. Everyone one of us are human, but why is that we allow each other to become separated due to differences in status and looks?

In this paper I will discuss what happens when we allow biases and prejudice to affect our actions toward others. I will then conclude my paper with what we can do to prevent or eliminate discrimination.

Prejudice or pre-judgement is an age-old, world-wide, unavoidable problem in society. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee describes the negative impact prejudice can have on others. Atticus Finch, Tom Robinson and Arthur “Boo” Radley all face differing forms of discrimination because in their own way, each one is different than the typical citizen of Maycomb County. While trying to help others and do the right thing, all three are pre-judged by those in Maycomb who display extreme bias toward them. The prejudice Finch, Robinson and Radley face is the result of deplorable influences on people who make incorrect assumptions based on ignorance that can only be overcome by learning sympathy and understanding for others.

All in all, no one truly understands the effects of prejudice in society such as the writer of the very essay, “In Defense of Prejudice”, Jonathan Rauch. The thought provoking writer, Rauch, explains why there is some sort of need of prejudice in the world, also the ideas of intellectual pluralism and its opposite, purism. In regards to Jonathan Rauch's “In defense of Prejudice”, all arguments and points he makes about prejudice not necessarily being a bad thing are undeniably correct.

Life is a highway, along its roads we have exits. These exits may represent different people or distinct events that may have happened along the way. In our road of life we separate people into categories. These people are in our minds may be misjudged or misunderstood as outsiders. They drive different roads than we do and we never relate or cross at an intersection. The question remains, why do our roads not intersect, is it more because we simply misjudge them as humans? Or is it because we do not comprehend their way of thinking and misunderstand them? It is because we misjudge them. We never interact with these people our roads never cross we can only judge them based on a first appearance. We misjudge outsiders based on how they look, and their initial gender or race.

Sadly, prejudicism is a part of American society. The allegory best explain this is seen in The complexity of identity: Who am I?, it talks about a conveyor belt where the White supremacist are actively walking forward while by standards are not walking, yet still following the same direction as the white supremacist.l In order to not follow, we must actively and consciously change our direction. Just because we are not a part of the problem, doesn’t mean we are part of the solution. After traveling to marginalized neighborhoods in Chicago this past week, it’s inspired me to participate in the community to make a change. I want to become a proud member of this society instead of being ashamed of our actions or should i say lack of action?

Being different isn't a bad thing at all; it's a great thing. People around the world are judged everyday of their lives for their sexuality. If you are different it's great that you are in my opinion. You shouldn't be judged for being different. It's not wrong for someone to be different what's wrong with it? nothing.

Judging someone is very bad in most cases, and usually, means that there jealous of you. When you're parenting a child in which has desires to play sports and enjoy the things that he does, you need to support him and let him do those things that he enjoys. Dave seems to think otherwise. Dave is against his child Steve’s enjoyment throughout the game of baseball, and Steve knows it. Dave clearly is not happy about it. The Diamond family are lacking money and are struggling to get more of it. Steve could be working as a delivery boy or selling papers to make some extra cash for his family. With this in mind, Steve remained going down to the ballpark after school every day with his friends and the kids at the park. The fact that he did this made Dave furious, which led to Dave

Predjudice and Discrimination as a Part of Our Cognitive Social Being Prejudice and Discrimination are an all to common part of our cognitive social being, but many social psychologists believe that it can be stopped, but only with the help of social conditioning. In this writing I hope to explain and point out some key terms and points made in my assigned chapter. Prejudice refers to a special type of attitude, usually something negative toward any group or ethnicity that is not of one's own social class. Attitude plays a very important role in ones cognitive framework, in that it forces our minds to process information on certain social groups differently making a cognitive earmark for that individual group

It’s important as people that we realize the effect of condiment on people in American society. The act of judging someone can have a serious negative effect. One of the major effects of censoriousness is anxiety. Some people feel an increase in anxiety by withstanding hypercritical activity. I know that sensation the feeling of having no control of yourself and trying to grasp anything to have control just because someone feels the need to be overcritical to another. This type of discrimination another is inexcusable. I have anxiety and I know that a group of people being critical of me in a presentation can really set me off into a panic attack. You should strive to not carp with style because not carping can be difficult to decipher. The people around you might not see you the way you see yourself. You don’t criticize with style by simply smiling. A smile can show a friendly attitude and make someone feel a whole lot more comfortable

A man walks down a street wearing a heavy jacket and a warm scarf around his neck on a humid day is ogled at by individuals around him. Regardless of how hard he tries to avoid attention, people tend to point the man out to their peers, and whisper their inputs on his dressing style to each other. People of the 21st century have portrayed their high level of intellectualism by making tremendous achievements in the fields of technology and medicine, but at the same time, they have showcased their foolishness by forming opinions of other individuals. Judging has turned into a habit for all of humanity that hurts people mentally and physically. Individuals judge due to their phony ethics and assumptions. In particular, one's bad upbringing, the insecurity and jealousy of human nature, and the blind acceptance of information are the three main causes for passing judgement.
