Conventional wisdom has it that we judge others because it is human nature. Though I concede that, I still insist that many people judge others a lot more intense, or harshly than we should. Judging is something that we do every day as humans. We really cannot help it. We do not just judge each other based upon clothes, shoes, or personal appearance, we do it even when it is something we cannot change. We judge each other based upon our appearance, actions, gender, race, and so on. We are constantly judging, and being judged on a daily basis. Individuals born with disabilities experience this so much more than they should. When you are born with something you cannot change, it is not right to judge and make evaluations based upon that person. .
Having a disability does not make you any less of a human being. When people have their medical issues or whatever problems they may have, it does not make it any easier when people are staring, making jokes, or standing far away, as if they would catch their disability. You see this happening everywhere you go. We start judging others at a very young age. School was always a place that I saw this happening almost every day. As a kid, you are usually much more blunt than an adult, and because of that some of the things you say aren't very pleasant, or appropriate at the time. I was in first grade at the time, and the special education class was right next to the class I was in, so we would have buddies with their class. We would read, write sentences and other little activities. I remember the begging of the year one of my classmates was genuinely scared to be in that class. While not all had disabilities you could see, she was scared of the few that you could. It took so much for the teachers to explain to her that nothing was wrong with these kids. While I didn't get that at the time, looking back and clearly remembering that is crazy. It's insane that being six or seven years old we are already dramatically judging each other.
