do you think it is ok to judge someone by where they were born? or what family they were born into? is it ok to treat them badly/or better because of those things? why would someone do that?

I don't think it's okay to judge someone from where they came from, what they look like, or who they know.
the only thing that should matter is their personality and aspect of life.
the people who disagree with me,
they are like that because they are around people like that and they have adapted it into their normal behavior and because others do it they find it okay.

Maybe judge the people that are in that particular area influencing them. You should try to treat everyone equal, of course you tend to treat spouse and children with the most affection. Why would someone treat another differently or badly/better because of these differences? I can't explain all individuals reasons for inequality, but here's something that may help. If I was the only child in a colored school and was treated bad and bullied because I stood out like a sore thumb, then I may feel awkward or even resentful towards people of color, or vice versa. Another example, if I was the sibling of a conceited self-centered sister, I may despise appearance oriented girls who consider fashion the only thing that makes a person unique. Also, if I was raised around religious imaged people who lived like they were holy but raised their children to judge others unjustly, constantly gossiping, etc. Then, no doubt I would learn to be wary of those who sooo easily call theirselves disciples when they are the epitome of sin. Or, if I was raised extremely wealthy and had to see people in need and hear snobbish rich people speak of the poor like they caused their own poverty then I would either feel sympathy for the poor or despise them also, or learn to resent the rich who aquire their wealth by not giving. This sort of situation is dependent on both enviroment and nurture, and the will to decide on our own, which we all have that choose and CANNOT blame no one but ourselves for either the miserable persons we become or the ones who rise above it and make a difference/change.

The person who makes judgments is also the one who suffers as a result. Parents, school, society all contribute to some of the biases that anyone will have. It is there loss for not getting to know someone from a different city or country. Racism, sexism, and a variety of isms are difficult to deal with, but it is also the opportunity to find people who will accept you for who you are rather than what they think you represent.

Sometimes Its much more important to focus on the person's own personality.
But its also important where the person was born n brought up, and the family background.
But it should be better to see the person's quality , cause a person can be much more different from his own blood also.

you i and everyone else know the answer to the majority of these questions. the one that i want to answer would be the last one.
a person is cruel because they are taught to be. let's say that a young lady was dating a young man. the girls mother did not approve because he lived in the wrong side of town. though she didn't have any proof of his unworthyness accept a bias probably passed down to her the young lady starts to question her boyfriend. "why do you live in a trailer?" etc.
she eventually finds, only by serching, a distorted truth in this bias, and breaks up with him because she is afraid to be dragged down to a lower social class. peoples life's are ruled by fear, fear causes distrust and distrust hate...the whole Yoda thing.

No, I don't think it's right to judge about anything and they didn't pick where they were born.

I don't think it's ok to judge anyone at all because we all are human and we have our faults. No one is perfect.

Treat them better, yes. Treat them worse, no.
:P No need to make an excuse to treat people better.
