Don’t Judge a Person by External Appearances

 In most cases, a person shouldn’t judge by external appearances. In many cases, sometimes when I walk down the street at night, I avoid people like migration workers from East South Asia. I feel they look dangerous because of their appearances. Their skin color is dark and there are so many rumors about migration workers are dangerous, but in general I prefer to reserve judgment until I get to know someone. Judge someone by external appearance can be deceptive. Judgment based on external appearances prevent you from getting know a person.

             In high school, I was one year older than my classmates, because I’ve been to abroad for one year. At first time my classmates avoid me because they though I am kind of ‘bad student’. As time goes by, after they getting know about me they start to be friendly with me. Later they told me my first impression was not so good but, after they know about my character and story, they could be talk with me and they realize that they shouldn’t judge a person by appearances.

              If you form an opinion of someone based on stereotypes you risk never getting to know someone who is different. You might miss out on an opportunity to have a good friend. And you are reinforce that stereotype by believe it with out given the person a chance.

             Judging people by external appearance is superficial and often unfair. After all, you do not know what circumstances the person might be face or who the person really is. Perhaps the person comes from a less fortunate wear. However, that does not mean the person is less intelligent or interesting than you.

             People should not judge new people they met, and should take a time to get to know them. External appearance often does not tell us anything about a person.

One thought on “Don’t Judge a Person by External Appearances

  1. It’s really kind of good topic, I think. It’s not so easy for people to try to get to know each other, but it’s so important to understand people from the bottom of our hearts, and make our friends. I hope to tell you one thing, you know. One of your sentences, because they though I am kind of ‘bad student’ … Is ‘though’ right to use here? I think you wanted to use ‘think’ maybe. But your writing is good. Have a nice day.
