Usually, we do not make a fair judgement, because we think that all results only have one cause, whereas in actual fact, many causes can lead to the same result. Also, it also can be due to the fact that we already have a stereotype towards a person, so we always predict his/her personalities, and thus do not believe in the real facts.

Describe on paper an everyday situation in which one person might judge another person incorrectly. What things can interfere with making a fair judgment?
Example: When the school asks its students for a donation to charity, person A donates $3, while person B and the rest of the class donate $10 and above. Person B then thinks that Person A is selfish because he donated so little. However, in actual fact, Person A's family has very little money, and can only afford to donate $3.

Dear Jason,
ReplyDeleteGreat example brought up regarding money, a very big thing in reality. Unfortunately, i do not quite understand your second paragraph except for the part where you reason that society may "already have a stereotype" towards a certain person. To improve, you could try reconsidering your expression before posting, and i know that one day you can become the best!
Yours sincerely,
