Making judgement

Hello everyone! Okay, I have been given another task to write an entry which is entitled 'making judgement'. Actually this is the my first entry in this new year, 2016. It have been awhile since I wrote the entry before. Did you know what is the meaning of making judgement? Making judgement is the act or process of forming an opinion or decision that is based on external appearance.

People can often be treated and judged in the less than equal manner before the people even know the true nature of the person.One of my most favorite quotations is that of Martin Luther King Junior. "I have a dream, that one day my children will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." People should make judgement of the person's character, not by their appearance, race, religion, and morals. This is because it is unfair to make assumptions about a person's character based on outward appearance and because people change their appearance to fit different situations. 

Everyday people make assumptions based on other's appearance instead of knowing their true color of behaviour. I believe that this is not the right way to do. To begin with, someone's external experience is not a mirror of his or her inner self. I can relate of example form my own life,have an experience on how the people around me say that I am a quiet person and I am not so friendly. Even my bestfriend said that too when she met me for the first time. The truth is I am a person who not seem friendly but if you get to know me further I am a person that can easily laugh even for a small jokes. Yeah, I know that we are all the same as human being ,we keep easily judge someone without getting to know each other first.

Never judge a book by its cover. For instance, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was a very short guy, is one of the famous people in the history; besides, many scientists and great men in the world have had inappropriate faces or clothes but they always stick in our mind because of their admirable characters.

If you still remember the story about Michael Oher that is from the true story that I had been wrote on my previous entry. It was how easily people making judgement based on his body sizes, he was came from a drug addicted parent and he is a homeless teenage Africa- american. This is not fair for us to easily think that he is a not useful and cannot be successful person.

Similarly judgement based on their on external appearance can lead us to the conclusions that are not true. In Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, the heroine Elizabeth forms a strong opinions of a man's character before she hears his side of the story. But the balance of the facts reveals that she made a wrong judgement. 

In conclusion, judgement based on external appearance creates a wrong perception. External appearance often does not expose everything about a man. We never know what is the story behind every person that we met. We never now how hard his or her life that they have been through before. So we should be aware before we jump into any conclusions.
