Enkun lopputyö


 “She doesn’t look good in that picture, so she must be ugly in reality”
 “He drank one beer at his graduation, so he must be drunk all the time”
 “Her family is rich and she has money, so she must be arrogant and selfish”
 “She likes to dress well and owns some designer clothes, so she must be rich bitch”


Prejudices… To be honest, I’ve always been a girl who has lots of those -not so positive- thoughts and opinions about some people even if i don’t really know them. I’ve always been very careful with new people and sometimes left them out of “my group of friends”. Maybe not in that way that I talked bad things about them behind their backs etc, but in that way when I just didn’t even make an effort to get to know them and still had those prejudices about them.

 With time I’ve learned that before making some opinions about people I have to get to know them and by that I don’t mean getting know their name and how they look, but really getting know their personality. What kind of people they are when they are not in school, at their free time, how they behave when they are alone with you or in a big company of friends and other stuff like that.

 In my opinion it’s totally normal that everyone have some thoughts about anybody they meet for the first time. But anyways, it doesn’t matter even if it’s something positive or something negative, whatever comes into your mind when you meet some people for the first time, its prejudice. So in my opinion sometimes we just have to stop for a minute and think that are those thoughts (which we call prejudices) really true or maybe, just maybe, we should just really try to get to know the person and just after that make our own opinions of them. And also one of the most important things is to keep our opinions to ourselves without sharing them all over the world and talking behind peoples backs...

 I think people should be more friendly and open minded to new people and really try to find out what kind of person someone is before judging him/her forever. I’ve really noticed that most of my own prejudices are really misleading and I’m really happy that I really can get to know new people without giving power of first impressions of them to “scare me away”.

 So the point of this is that I really hope that people could be more open minded and kind when they try to get to know someone, we all are different and we don't know what's going on in someones lives  so most likely it’s always worth it to get to know people personally before judging them.
