How I Catorgize/Describe People

I try to categorize someone or describe them after I meet them and get to know them. I try not to judge someone before I know who they are. This is not always easy to do, but I believe it is the right thing to do. There are many different ways to categorize a person. I think that you can categorize a person by the way they act, dress, talk, and by who they associate with. Everyone has a group or multiple groups of people that they hang out with. Usually the people in these groups have a lot in common. They usually dress similar and talk the same. There are many groups like this in our school and I find that people are categorized by this. Everything about a person can be described or categorized. This tells a lot about a person. You can usually tell a lot about a person by the way they walk, the way they talk, their body language, their appearance, the way they smell, etc. If a person hunches when they walk and has very poor body language then it can usually be assumed that they are a shy person. If someone dresses very poorly to school and does not take showers then you can infer that they are either very poor or they just don't care. All of these things tell you about a person before you even talk to them. I do not think that it is fair to judge someone solely on this but it usually helps. Despite all of this, the best way to categorize/describe someone is to talk to them some and get to know their personality. You can not really have an accurate description of someone before you talk to them and listen to what they have to say. Categorizing someone can be very difficult. You can categorize someone by anything, but you should evaluate who that person really is before doing so.

  1. good points - it is difficult to not judge someone by appearances. It often takes a strong person to get to know a person first before forming an opinion of that person.
