Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearance. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. Looks are defined as a primary characteristic of a person at first glance which are able to spark a train of thoughts. There are many factors that could be considered when somebody wants to know about one’s personality. While some believe that our judgments should never be based on someone’s appearance, I think that it is somehow inevitable to judge people by their external appearance because it has some evolutionary backgrounds, can be used to identify social background and it is necessary in the health industry. First of all, looking deeper at humans’ strategies of ensuring security shows that they have taken any possible measures to stay out of harm’s way so that no one could jeopardize their survival. Trying to gauge one’s potential to harm and sensing danger by some facial features have helped species and especially humans to protect their offspring. For example, by guessing that one’s appearance seems physically unhealthy, keeping the distance from catching diseases becomes necessary. Therefore, based on the provided reasons, history reveals that those who could tackle these tough challenges, stayed alive and had a higher chance to pass their genes on to the next generations. Moreover, people have been defining themselves through adopting different styles to convey some nonverbal messages about their preferences and the social classes which they belong (to?). A clear example of this idea happens when an individual is looking for a suitable partner. In a place filled with prospective (probable?) options, looks play an important role to in leave leaving a deep impression on those who are in search for/of a partner and it is almost impossible not to judge people depending on their appearance. As a consequence, considering one’s visual characteristics as a criteria for building a close relationship, helps individuals to make better decisions so that they would be satisfied about with their choices. Finally, there are some important situations that evaluating someone based on their external appearance is of the necessity. For example, in a psychological context, professionals have to be aware of some visual features which are representing a special type of behavior or a personality trait and sometimes they have no choice but to make a judgment about their clients in the first place. To be more specific, those who wear a lot of makeup all the time and have done different beauty surgeries, probably suffer from histrionic personality disorder. As a result, in some cases judging would help specialists through classifying certain behaviors which could lead to diagnose diagnosing a mental disease properly. To sum up, I believe that stating a judgment based on one’s appearance is somehow unavoidable. I suggest that people should try to maintain a balance in forming their ideas about the others and while they are focusing on knowing a person’s personality, being conscious about what their judgment is, could be useful because it has some evolutionary roots, results in better decision-making and could be helpful for their own health.
