Judgment

McKichan v. St. Louis Hockey Club, L.P was a 1998 personal injury case that made its way up to the Missouri Court of Appeals. The incident in question occurred on December 15, 1990 during a minor league hockey game between the Peoria Rivermen and the Milwaukee Admirals in Peoria, Illinois. The Peoria Rivermen is a subsidiary club of the defendant. The injury in question occurred during the third period of said hockey game when the plaintiff, who at the time was a goaltender for the Admirals, was…

I am clinically considered overweight/obese. Not by a considerable amount, mind you. Just enough where it labels who I am as a person. People wonder why others become obese. It isn’t some goal people have. It is not by accident either. People have life style choices. And that is what they are. Choices. You can choose what you are, how you look, how you dress. Your body is a canvas and it is up to you to paint it how you please. I can choose to go to the gym and eat healthy. Has anyone asked why…

When making our first impression of others, people tend to put an abundance of focus onto traits that should not matter. We often let our judgements of people we happen to be unfamiliar with become our reality. I chose a text of a picture of six trees showing their reflections into a body of water they surround. Each tree had its own unique features, however their reflections into the water were similar. This painting displays the concept that no matter how different people seem, they are still…

Love can make us do crazy things. It can take us on life changing journeys, sometimes even journeys that take us across the world. Love can sometimes weigh us down, if it isn’t good for us or returned to us. It can hinder our judgements or even alter our beliefs altogether. But in the end we must decide if love is worth the ups and downs. Whether we should put ourselves, our very hearts, on the line in the hopes of finding a love that will endure a lifetime. In this paper I will explain the…

What’s a stereotype? A stereotype is to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same. It’s a bad trait that most human beings have and do every day without even noticing. We tend to “Judge a book by its cover.” But you never know what could be in that book, may it just be a clear white cover with just the authors name, or a colorful active cover, that seems more appealing. It’s all about the material inside, that we wouldn’t know what that material is…

parents who spend their whole life taking care of their child. They don’t deserve the judgment and some of the hate they deserve respect because their job isn’t easy and they could have ran away from it but they chose to care for their child. Again they are still children that aren’t really any different from us but they really don’t know what they are doing or what is going on and they don’t deserve any hate or judgment for…

people think that society has moved on from puritan like rules, social standards, as well as qualities that happened, shown in The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. But it has not. Today is almost as it was nearly 400 years ago, with the same judgment and hypocrisy passed on people who may have “sinned” or have not held to other people’s standards, which those people may not even keep themselves. The puritan religion was ideally about being as pure as one could be. But in almost all parts…

influence on the society where you can be judged for your appearance. This video was a statement declaring her happiness with who she is despite the judgment from others in a society where your image, your cultural values, and what is viewed as acceptable and appropriate behavior is looked down upon. This video gives a clear idea on how people pass judgment on someone just because of their image. In today's society, it is more common to be judged for caring about your outside appearance rather…

Human nature to cast judgment onto other humans with no intent other than to raise your own self-esteem. As human nature tells us to do, we judge people based on their appearance, their job or social status, or what we have heard about them from other people. The Scarlet Letter,written in the era of the Dark Romantics, by Nathaniel Hawthorne tells the story of two lovers, both going through different acts of punishment for their sin of adultery. This demonstrates how most judgment is only…

When growing up in the United States many have heard throughout their childhood that “society here is equal”. This, however, is untrue in many ways. For one, America didn’t become close to equal until women achieved their rights a couple of decades back. The United States shows how unequal it actually is towards its people, the land of supposed freedom to obtain success. Malcolm Gladwell informs in his article, “Black Like Them”, how there is an aspiration for a better future due to the people…
