Categorizing & Judgements

When answering the question rather or not it is possible to perceive others without judging them or criticizing them, I do believe it is possible to look upon someone and not judge the individual, but I do know that it is very difficult for someone to do so.  Different cultures is what shapes peoples opinion, and those opinions are what people use to gain a understanding about someone they may not know or someone they are getting to know. Another reason why it is difficult for people to not judge people is because of different stereotypes and belief throughout our society. For example, if someone who was not raised in a diverse community and do not know they values of people in different cultures, then they may one see things in a very narrow minded way. If so, this is when these people use stereotypes and other beliefs to categorize an individual or group of people.

The reason why I believe that it is possible look at someone and not judge them is because where I come from there are a lot of different nationalities and my community is very diverse. Although it is very easy to stereotype someone, I learned that everyone in certain groups are not the same. More so in this era people used stereotypes to define people when in actuality that person can b someone with a different personality that they may have thought. I do not think that it is fair to judge someone because their race, or sex, ethnic group. Everyone should have the same opportunity to show people who they really are, but in today’s society its just not that easy.
