Everyone judges / makes an assessment of people when they first meet them.. It's what humans do..

@Adstar We make subconscious judgments which can be modified by habit. It's not like we all judge people the exact same way with no variation.

@SinlessOnslaught We still judge.. It's Automatic.. It's a survival instinct too.. We can reconsider and change our judgements after getting to know someone more.. But then again we are judging them.. So it cannot be avoided we are constantly judging people.. You're no doubt making judgements about me based upon what i write here..

@Adstar You're not wrong, I'm just saying I don't think you're on the same page as her.

@SinlessOnslaught Well.. There are two closely related but different types of Judging.. In a western court system with a judge and a jury the two types of judgement are carried out.. The Judge does not actually assess / judge the accused It is the Jury's task to judge if the accused is innocent or guilty of the crime.. And they are the ones who pronounce the accused Inocent or guilty..
So why do we call the Judge presiding over the case a Judge? Why because he is responsible for the second type of Judgment, that being the sentence/ punishment that will be imposed on the accused if the Jury declares the accused guilty.. So there are two judgements..
Assesment/ innocent or guilty
And
Punishment / prison sentence or fine or some other penalty..
