Default judgment

out somewhere and seen someone that dresses differently than you, or someone covered in tattoos, and immediately made a judgment on what kind of he or she is? Maybe you pulled up next to a car blasting music that you do not like, and again made a judgment about that person simply because of the type of music he or she was listening to? Even more disappointing is when judgment is made simply because someone is a different race. Judging someone without even knowing them is something most people…

Prejudice, according to Merriam-Webster means to “a irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race or their supposed characteristics.” Webster is correct about the definition, society rather thinks negative towards the action itself. And they are not wrong for doing think this, the results of prejudice are rather biased and misguided perspectives on individuals who are not always following society’s career and living standards that most of us were taught at a…

Reflections of Judgment Through Fiction When reading through various works of fiction, we sometimes come across material that almost speaks directly to us, or may even describe our current situation or feelings. Although the works are truly fictitious, the inspiration for these stories comes from deep within the mind of the author, who is human, and human emotions tend to bleed through fiction. This is how we can find a surreal connection to so many stories that never actually occurred. Some…

After this course, I am able to address my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of resolving a conflict in a different situations. Now, to analyze all of those different elements, I would first address my judgement styles. My judgment style My judgment style is the Directing Style.

emotions and the emotions of those she is back talking to. By having this talk with her I will be able to see her value judgements on back talking, and explain my value judgments on backing talking for her to see. I like that my daughter is knows basic principles of right and wrong and has her own perspective of valued judgments. However, I don’t think she is willing to see that other people have different values and opinion that we all need to…

Journal 2 This week I was able to do a small site visit when I turned in my paperwork. Unfortunately, I was not able to see where they kept the children because my background check and other important information had not yet been processed, but I was still able to get a good idea of what volunteering at the St. Louis Crisis Nursery will be like. When I first pulled up, I was very surprised at the building the nursery was in. I was expecting a fun environment which would be filled with toys…

In the poem “The White Judges” by Marilyn Dumont, the speaker is aware of how she and her Indigenous family are consistently being judged by the primarily white population. The poem juxtaposes the family with the encircling colonialists who wait to demean and assimilate the group. Consequently, the family faces the pressures of being judged for their cultural practices, resulting in a sense of shame and guilt. Dumont’s use of prose and lyrical voice distinctly highlights the theme of being…

know about or have even attended. In chapter 2, he talks about Inferences, Reports and Judgements. With this video, it shows a lot of great examples that can relate to what is being said in that chapter. Like with variability and judgments, the reporter is making judgments that some of the performers are the best of the best saying “not only was her performance the most insane”... “only beyonce can pull that off”. By making a statement like that she is judging the performance to be a fact and…

passions with no obvious desire to serve anyone else’s? Lastly, can it be true that Meursault’s action was guided by some higher presents in his life, or did he simply act on his own accord? These questions are in fact the very qualifications of judgment. Perhaps if in Camus’s world, Frances judicial system was based on a life of existentialism instead of (perjury,) Meursault would not have been sentenced to death, and asked to be saved by a priest, for Meursault is an existentialist, and knows…

The article, Incidental Haptic Sensations Influence Social Judgments and Decisions, contains three paired experiments that test whether or not primary tactile sensations influence cognitive processing in either aspect-specific ways or metaphor specific-ways (Ackerman et al., 2010). In experiments 1 and 2, researchers hypothesized that variable weight unconsciously affects decision-making (Ackerman et al., 2010).). For experiment 1, the weight of a clipboard affected participants’ evaluation on…
