Why do people judge others?
People judge others because the human
brain has natural preconceptions and prejudices, argues Women’s Health.
The part of the brain responsible for emotional and social behavior
activates unconscious attitudes upon which people judge others, even
before knowing who they are, asserts Time.
Judging others is a normal
reaction, notes Psychology Today. This is because human beings have a
natural instinct for survival, which makes them defensive and judgmental
when they feel threatened. People also judge when they don’t understand
the reason for the behavior of others. When people are not aware of the
pain others are experiencing, they fail to understand why they become
difficult and judge them. People judge others because the human mind
naturally looks for the negative, reveals Psychology Today.
People judge others because they forget that all human beings make
mistakes. People have differences in the ways of seeking happiness and
fulfillment, which make it hard for others to accept some behaviors.
Lack of education on the disabilities that affect behavior also makes
people judge others, asserts Psychology Today.
People also judge others because of their appearance or weight.
Research reveals that most people assume that faces with prominent
cheekbones and inner eyebrows are more trustworthy, according to Time.
People should try to know others before judging them, recommends
Psychology Today. In addition, people should not underestimate the
struggles of others.

In fall 1977, Sherman began making pictures that would eventually become her groundbreaking “Untitled Film Stills.” Over three years, the series grew to comprise a total of seventy black-and-white photographs. Taken as a whole, the “Untitled Film Stills”—resembling publicity pictures made on movie sets—read like an encyclopedic roster of stereotypical female roles inspired by 1950s and 1960s Hollywood, film noir, B movies, and European art-house films. But while the characters and scenarios may seem familiar, Sherman’s “Stills” are entirely fictitious; they represent clichés (career girl, bombshell, girl on the run, vamp, housewife, and so on) that are deeply embedded in the cultural imagination. While the pictures can be appreciated individually, much of their significance comes in the endless variation of identities from one photograph to the next. As a group they explore the complexity of representation in a world saturated with images, and refer to the cultural filter of images (moving and still) through which we see the world.
