week 7 question 1
I believe that possible to perceive other without judging or categorizing them as long as we keep an open mind. It is our natural instinct and whatever prior experiences we have had, to judge others, but we can keep those to ourselves and realize that there are those genuine nice and friendly people who don’t have hidden agendas. We probably categorize people because of what we may have gone through before with those kinds of people or something that are similar to the prior experience. We have to give them the time of to let them truly show their true colors. I have made judgments before in the past of certain people but they turned out to be the best friends that I have now, I maintained an open mind and kept my feelings out of how I decide who they truly are. To make it more fair, you give them time, and chances so that you can understand who they are and what they are all about. Without patience, and keeping an open mind most people will continue to judge and be short minded. We have to be fair or else, all of the world will be hating each other.

Hello MsEsther! Do you think it would be possible to bypass the initial judgment? Or do you think judgment will always be there and we simply have to make accommodations?
ReplyDeleteblogging prof,
ReplyDeletei believe it is possibly ot bypass the initial judgment, we just have keep in mind that although first impressions may last, people always change, and that can also change your judgement. If we always uphold our initial judgment then how are we to ever learn new things and expect to learn new ways to meet others? people will always be judging others but we have to understand that there is always two sides to a story.
