One should never judge external appearance

External appearance is an issue which frequently generates a great deal of heated debates. There are opponents who maintain that it is important for social life. Apart from this, they may say that it is normal to make judgment given that we- human beings – perceive only with our senses, not to mention the fact that people judge in order to distinguish different types of person. On the order hand, supporters to this view claim that judging external aspect is unjustifiable. Moreover, they believe that it is almost impossible to know a person by looking at his features. Therefore, it is worth examining both points of view before reaching any conclusion.
To begin with, many opponents argue that appearance is the key to success in social events or important interviews, given that individuals are accepted or rejected by their external aspects. That is, having a good appearance may help people to success in their society. Furthermore, some may say that to sit in judgment about a person’s trait is innate of human beings. This means that our first perception of the world is through our senses. In a way or another, appearance may not be vital but it influences our acceptance or rejection of our fellow human beings. In effect, a neat hairdo, sober or elegant garments, polished shoes predispose us to welcome a stranger in our midst. Instead, an unshaven face, shabby clothes or muddy soles may tempt us to keep a distance between an outsider and ourselves.
On the other hand, it is often said that judging an individual because of his external features is unjustifiable. People are like small icebergs, since they do not reveal everything through clothes or ornaments. Thus, it could be important to go deeper to know what others really are. However, many support that we – human beings – should be shrewd enough to see through people, to grasp the hints. That is, individuals send messages through their appearance; in fact, sometimes weird outlooks can hide a hideous, somber personality that is not easily to be perceived by others.
For the above mentioned reasons, therefore, I believe that one should not judge external appearance given that individuals are so complex that it would be almost impossible to really know them based on their features.
