Our Hidden Faces

Sociology doesn't look like me, nor does it look like you. It looks like us. Us talking, us seeing each other from a distance, us judging one another. It is how we interact with others. However, a common misconception is that a human's judgemental nature is a weapon. We criticize and compliment each other before we've spoken a single word. It sounds like a combination of good and evil, but it isn't. Judgements are natural; we were born to make them. It is how you and I make use of those judgements that define us. My goal isn't to stop judging, it is to stop acting upon those judgements. If I don't have something nice to think about someone before I've met them, I shouldn't not give them an equal chance to show me who they are. I can judge, but I shouldn't make voice of my assumptions.
