RE: Seeing Judgments as 'Bad' or 'Wrong'

in #psychology6 years ago (edited)

Last time you brought up the subject of judgement I remember having to explain to a certain someone the difference between Judgement and Bias/Prejudice as they honestly thought they were the same thing, because "Putting something in the dictionary doesn't make it true", seems that some people take words such as immigrants and invaders to describe the same thing, much like they take words like legality and morality to mean the same, or in this case prejudices and judgements, hijacking of words to fit their agendas or simply the careless vagueness in which they express themselves while paradoxically abandoning the obvious etymology behind the words or resorting to excusing the vagueness as an "evolution" of language disregarding the callousness of such whimsical thinking.

Sort:  

Yup there is a difference. Although a prejudice or stereotype is a judgment, but a generalized one that can be wrong in many cases. They still have their use for general applicability in many instances. It's like water is a liquid, but not all liquids are water. Prejudices are judgments, but not all judgments are prejudices ;)
