1). Is it possible to perceive others without, in some way, judging or categorizing them? If so, how? If not, how can we make the judgments we do make, more fair?
I think it is impossible to percieve others without some way judging or catagorizing them. Of course, not all situations result in negative views or are so extreme that there may be damage done to a persons character, but it is almost second nature to assume how a person portrays themselves.
Small things can lead us to judge people such as a persons style. If a person shows up to class regularly in a dressy outfit and heels, we could assume that maybe this person comes straight after work, or they're trying to impress someone. This situation is not a bad thing it's just a social norm that people don't come to class dressed to impress (maybe some do).
Bigger things that result in unfair judgement are more damaging however, I feel that judgements can be more fair if everyone had a common way of meeting new people. It needs to be widespread so that common courtesy is known to everyone
