Fair Judgement

What do you think is involved in fair judgement about a person or situation?

I feel that fair judgement entails full and careful observation of a person or situation, and is definitely not what comes to mind upon seeing the person or situation. "Do not judge a book by its cover." Sometimes, for example, you are judging a person. He smells very badly, and is black. He is also very tall. Basketball player? No, he may be some professor in a university. In such situations, only time will tell what this person really is. Thus, only with careful and detailed observation can you reaaly see the person for whom he really is.

Describe an everyday situation in which one person might judge another incorrectly. What things can interfere with making a fair judgement?

For example, I am walking on a street when a man in ragged clothes approaches me. I dip into my pocket and hand him some spare change. Only when he opens his mouth to speak then I realise he is looking for interviewees for his graduate thesis. Thus, I found that most of the time, the most interfering factor is the external appearance.
