My friend thinks its ok to prejudge people (judge people before you get to know them).?

Question

any good reasons i can convince why it is NOT ok?

Answer 1

THATS NOT TRUE!! TELL HER,
IF SHE DONT ACCEPT IT LEAVE HER. ONE DAY SHELL UNDERSTAND IT!!

Answer 2

Looks are deceiving . You can't always tell who the person it. They might be hiding a soft emotional side behind a hard shell of aggressive behaviour.
People who judge so quickly are immature and naive and immature. Usually thing they are better than other people and tend to be conceited and snobbish.
Your pal doesn't need convincing, she needs to grow up and get a grip.
She will get nowhere in life if she doesn't take off her blinders and realize, we are all human beings whether we are flawed or not.
People will see her behaviour and judge her as being insecure and un worldly.
She needs to do some travelling and meet people from all walks of life.
The poor girl is just as excited about being a teen as the rich one. The young mother is just as excited about her first baby as the older mother. The geek who worked after school to save enough money to buy a blackberry is just excited as the rich boy whose dad just picked one up for him.
Life is about principles and morals, not about saying this one is better than that one,becaue they don't have the right colour, clothes, gender, piercings, tattoes, cars, etc... it is how they act and who they are that makes them the good people that they are.
It is difficult enough to live and survive in society without people like her pre judging , that is what causes dissent among people, prejudice and discrimination.
So you can let her know this is what she is part of...the underbelly of society....
How does it feel?????

Answer 3

Well some people judge. But I used to be the same way until I grew up now I'm not so quick to judge because I know we are all the same and just because someone has a different apperance from our ouwn doesn't mean they have the right to an opinion to us before they actually know them.

Sorry! I was on a roll, but just give the book To Kill A Mockingbird that should clear up a lot of things besides that's an awesome book!

Good Luck! =)

Answer 4

To a certain extent it is natural and good to prejudge people, believe it or not. We "notice" a lot of nonverbal signals (blinking rapidly means the person is lying, for example) in others that cue us in on an unconscious level about the person. We say it is our intuition, or sixth sense, or there's just something about him that I don't like but it may be some clues we're getting from their body language. This is something that we just do. For that matter, all primates do: just look at the chimpanzees. However, cues can be misinterpreted. A person may not look you in the eye when they're talking to you because, he is shifty and untrustworthy, or, he is insecure. One has to recognize this and deal with it. Listen to your gut, but reserve final judgment. Be wary but let their true colors show, they will soon enough.

Answer 5

No one has the right to judge another. And in doing so she/he may be missing out on an opportunity to meet and enjoy the company of some very interesting individuals. One cannot judge a book by its cover. And one cannot judge an individuals one does not know simply by what other peoples ideas are. You have to get to know the person in-order to truly know who they are, what values and ideas they hold. I think your friend is small minded and should get out more often. Good luck and God bless****

Answer 6

your friend's judging is why we have war and hatred in this world. If you judge someone before you meet them, you have already told yourself in your mind that they won't or can't rise above your expectations. And who is he to determine what others should/shouldn't, or will/won't do??? Now I know we are all human, and are products of our experiences. And I know everyone is not good, honorable and trustworthy, but we need to try our best not to judge others.What a great world we'd have if people would STOP judging, and actually get to know others with open hearts and minds!

Answer 7

Being a "pre-judged" person myself. taught me one of the best lessons of my life. People who judged me nver ever once took one minute to get to know me. That was their biggest mistake. My world consists not of judging Gods creations, but rather nurturing those I can. People who pre-judge have but one thing in common..The undeniable, unalienable truth that they are very insecure and need to do this to give themselves even 5 minutes of superiority. Rememer this...small minded people, say and do small minded things!
Have a great day

Answer 8

sometimes feelings help alot in judge people

and its true inner feelings sometimes help alot in judge people before even talking or know them

Answer 9
