    Surrounded by people who easily cast their judgment, Atticus stood firm in his belief that every person merited a chance to be understood before he formed his opinion about them. He said, “You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them” (Lee 374). Atticus saw plainly how the people in his town evaluated each other and spread absurd rumors from house to house. Realizing that the people’s preconception in the town influenced his children, Atticus taught his kids by example to not pass judgment on any person.

    We, as humans, often make negative judgments when anger and our insecurities are triggered in a situation. A judgment is an opinion formed after some deliberation or consideration of someone or something. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, written by Zora Neale Hurston, the judgments made by the characters in the story are frequently based on their anger and insecurities. Many examples of judgment are spread throughout the book. In the early fifties through the late seventies, people appear to be racially judgmental when they are insecure and angered by the change in their environment. Judgments seem to be all around us and are a way to express feelings.…

    People are capable of forming their impression of someone within seven seconds of meeting them. Subconsciously one begins analyzing another’s looks, actions, speech, and various other aspects in this short period of time. This can quickly begin to form prejudice, an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Another factor that can influence a person’s opinion towards another is the views of the society surrounding them. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch, the father of Scout and Jem, says, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (22). This quote demonstrates how unfair and unjust prejudice is without solid facts to base one’s opinion on. In the face of experiencing prejudice, Arthur “Boo” Radley and Tom Robinson continue to be nice people and illustrate that prejudice does not have to change a person to become wicked.…

    Recently on the internet, there has been a meme circling around. It starts with a person about to engage in something ridiculous, such as shaving their eyebrows, cutting their hair, etc. However, they stop at the last second, turning to the camera to say, “Don’t ever judge a book by its cover.” Though this meme is purely for entertainment purposes, the concept of making unfair judgements has been around for generations. Consequently, ample authors use the theme of not judging others in their works. For example, in Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare, the character Isabella argues that, “We cannot weigh our brother with ourself” (2.2.156). This quote can be interpreted in quite a few different ways, but the two that are the most prominent are that you cannot compare the actions of one human being to another, and that the only person you have the right to judge is yourself.…
