Chapter 7 Question #3



“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” A very common saying but also very true in most cases. This basically means that do not judge someone or something with just first impressions or first glance. There are plenty of generalizations, but how many of them are 100% true? It is pretty rare that generalizations are true especially in the world we live in were prejudice acts and racism have existed. Well a generalization is making conclusions off of judgment instead of in depth knowledge. I believe it could lead to false conclusions which may or may not change the way of how things may play out in decision making or life choices. For say, you might meet someone new. Maybe because by the way one looks you might not want to be friends or the way you get a first impression with someone that probably had a bad day can leave a bad impression as well. What if that person is actually a very nice person and then you have a lost opportunity of associating yourself with them. As you can see we are taught of how generalization plays a big role in everyday lives.
