*First Impressions, do we judge right off the bat?*

By nature, everyone has first impressions on one another. The old saying goes, "First impressions are important." This holds truth, we need to "dress" the part, especially on important first meetings such as; interviews or to an important meeting. Because once a person makes up their first impressions mind, it takes more energy to stir the person in the other direction. We judge one another based on age, gender, race or even social crowd. A lot has to do with how we were raised and also our experiences. If we had a bad experience with a certain kind of person, our minds automatically have negative vibes. After time and keeping positive, is when a bad judgement on someone can disappear. The media also is very racist, in all aspects of race, gender, religion or even the social crowd. Our minds constantly are overwhelm with negativity on how we're suppose to feel or act in a certain situation. Therefore, it is not possible to perceive others without first judging them. It's our human instincts and our pre-judgments get in the way of getting to know someone great. Overall, it is up to us as individuals to clear our minds and have an open mind. We shouldn't allow negative vibes or false judgments get in the way. Give the person the benefit of the doubt, you most likely will find common grounds with the person and be glad you gave it a shot.
