1. What are the different ways in which we evaluate people?

We evaluate people in a lot of different way. We look at a person on how they dress, if they don’t in a way we think they are suppose to dress then we look down on them. How we feel when they talk to us (some people communicate in a descending way, some have a very soft tone to their voice, and some are very energetic and powerful when they talk). All these things can be received in different ways. Most people don't like to be talked down to and therefore will probably avoid conversation as much as possible with the person/people talking to them like this. Anyone with a soft tone and tenderness to the way they talk can be perceived as kind and gentle but also could be looked at as having no backbone and not being able to stand up for themselves (easy target so to speak). Someone with a lot of energy and power when they talk can seem arrogant and self-centered, or maybe fun to be around because they are never boring. We also look at a person weight if they over weight then we have a problem with that person hanging around us or we talk about that person. We look down on that person for not being a size two.

2. How do these factors plays a role in our expectations of other people?

3. What are the disadvantages of these exceptions?

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. You have some good thoughts here but a few typo's.

line 1 = different ways (plural noun)
line 1, 2nd sentence = We look at the way a person dresses. (might be better restated)
Actually the 2nd half of this should be a new sentence = If they don't dress in a way we think they are supposed (past tense), etc.

We also look at a person's weight (hyphen); if they are overweight, etc.

Question 2 = How do these factors play (plural subject)

It appears as if you have not yet answered questions 2 and 3?

2. These factors play a role in our expectations of other people because they shape our perception of them and influence how we interact with them. When we evaluate someone based on their clothing choices, tone of voice, or body weight, we form judgments and assumptions about their character, abilities, and social status. These judgments then shape our expectations of how that person should behave, what they are capable of, and how they should fit into our social circles.

3. The disadvantages of these expectations are that they can lead to prejudice, discrimination, and unfair treatment of others. When we rely on superficial factors like clothing or appearance to evaluate someone, we may overlook their true character, skills, or potential. This can result in missed opportunities for meaningful connections or collaborations. Furthermore, setting unrealistic or narrow expectations based on external factors can create a culture of judgment and exclusion, where individuals are confined to societal standards and face pressure to conform rather than expressing their authentic selves. Ultimately, these expectations hinder personal growth, limit diversity, and perpetuate stereotypes and biases.
