Why People Should Not Be Judged

Improved Essays
Have you ever been judged because you do not look or act in the same way of the people who criticize you? We have a world where there are different customs, social classes, languages, behaviors, etc. They make us unique which in most cases it is something good, but in some cases these different aspects people judge each other. As I am currently living in the United States, I am from Colombia. This situation has made people from here judge me due to cultural differences. Basically, people should not be judged due to the differences in social classes, perspectives, and beliefs.
Social class differences are the most common source of judging in our society; however, this is because of the behaviors themselves like the way of dressing, eating

    For this sociological experiment I broke the norm that led to the ¨personal bubble¨ rule, by getting, “too close¨ to strangers when I talk to them by society's standards. This social norm shows that people are used to having their own space and not having others be within a certain distance. When you talk or interact with another person you both are in control of the personal space given. This leads to me testing others by stepping over boundaries to make them feel uncomfortable, nervous, or embarrassed.…

    James Baldwin's essay on “black language” makes a lot of good, quality points on human nature and how people judge each other and our ways of speaking and our actions. Now, he’s not saying that’s absolutely a bad thing, but I feel as though it could be both a good thing AND a bad thing, depending on the situation and how you look at it. I’ve had personal experiences both bad and good from people judging me as a person based on my speech tendencies and my dialect. Although some say it is not right to judge a person in any way, and I do understand that some people do try their hardest not to judge a person on any accord, it is, in all honesty, just human nature to judge a person based on their apparent qualities and actions.…

We looked at everything from definitions of race and ethnicity, to a movie showing us the actual bias in races and ethnicities in the criminal justice system.

    Flashback to civil war time, you have the north and south separated because of one thing: their view on skin color. The north viewed skin color not as an important topic, but the south couldn’t fathom have dark skinned people helping them, which caused them to separate themselves from blacks. Prejudice is a topic that people back then used to differ one human being to another human being, and in today’s world people still judge or criticize people on their beliefs, appearance, or actions. Prejudice can be as simple as if someone is a male or female, or as serious as being black or white. The question, we as people have to think to ourselves is, why we make such serious judgements on certain people, or groups without actually knowing them.…

    I believe that we shouldn't care about what other people think of us. While that is an easy statement to say, it takes some work to get to that point. I believe that rather than constantly worrying about how other people perceive us, we should just enjoy the fun experiences we have. Who wants to look back on an event and wish they would’ve had more fun, instead of being driven by how people may judge you? Now I'm not saying that we should just completely forget what everybody thinks about us, I just believe that we shouldn't worry about little quirks that everyone has.…

    People Used to Misjudge Me Because of My African Dressing Style. Did you ever feel yourself out of place just because you dressed differently?

Is treating people equally regardless of race somehow a paragon of inequality? Unfortunately, in today’s society we are judging people from the color of their skin, and not from their country of origin, ethnicity or biological. My view of equality and racism is completely different now from what it was before I read these readings.…
