Oh humans, why do we judge?

The human race. We are considered the most complex and intelligent animals on the planet. We have made great history all over the world, created many great momuments and building. We have found cures for so many diseases. But besides all that, we can-and some of are- judgmental and stereotypical. But why?  Many people in our culture like to think that we are all equal, and we are not judged by what we look like, but who are on the  inside and the choices we make. Unfortunatley, thats not always true. Many people dont know it, but tons of people judge others every day by what they’re wearing, their skin color, and their race. Take tattoos for example. If you have one, you are categorized as “immature”,  “unemployed”, and a “punk”. People get tattoos to express themselves. A tattoo is just a piece of art, but put on your body. Most people that get tattoos to show who they are and who they want to be. Yes, some people have more tattoos thatn others, but does that really matter? should it matter? To the human race, it kinda does. A person’s future  may rely on if they have a tattoo. Another Example where the human race has screwed up horribly is someones skin color. Like African Americans. For centuries, blacks have been abused, made fun of, and have been mistreated. I mean, come ON PEOPLE! WHY does this still happen today? WHY cant we just love each other? WHY? we’ve had SO many conflicts on the subject, SO many deaths because of it,  for goodness sakes, we’ve had WAR on the subject, just because us humans are too flipping blinded by stupid racial stereotypes, that we actually go allong and support them. One other example, I have from personal experience. I cut my hair to donate it for a cancer patient, to help someone in need. I willingly lobed of 15 inches of my hair. Whenever I go walk around the mall or the shopping center, I almost always get some sort of funny look from one person. People judge me and instantly catogorise me as “punk rock” or “no good rebel”, without knowing the reason behind why I have short hair. In conclusion, just don’t be like so many people around the world. Please get to know someone before you make fun of them, or judge them.

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve been a victim of such judgment. Good for you for calling people out on their misguided behavior.

    This is a thought-provoking composition, and I enjoyed reading your ideas. I can see five possible paragraphs here that would make your ideas more easy to follow…can you find and space them?

    One of the things I like best about this is that your own STRONG voice comes through your writing!
