Matthew 7 chapter 1 verse state "Judge not they ye but not judged." Many people are judged because of their ethnicthy, sexuallity, religion and physical apperance.
People have been criticize for thier ethnicity since the begin of time. Slavery is a prime example of people being criticize for the color of their color of their skin. African Americans such as Fredrick Douglas and Harriet Tubman decided to stand up for what they believe was right. Fredrick Douglas who was a lecture for the Massachusetts Ant-Slavery Society. He published his own newspaper, "The North Star." Harriet Tubman led the Underground Railroad. Both of them decide to stand up for what they believe was right. If they have not done so people of color wouldn't have a voice. Even today with a voice minorities are judge by their skin and their dialect. Which sometimes leds to racial profiling.
I know people who are judge just because they are attracted to the same sex. Some of them are looked at differently by their own family members because of their lifestyle. People who choose this lifestyle are not generally accepted by society. Often they are victims of violent hate crimes. An ethical stand point is people have a right to express themselves.
Another issue that surrounds the topic of judgement is religon. Many people have been judge by their religion.Even if they are Christians, Catholic, Jewish or Muslims. This is why we have Holy Wars, The Holocaust and a violation of a culture in the name of Christianity who were as the Navtive Americans An ethical stand point of view is that we can choose their own religon. an unethical stand point is religion should not be force upon you.
The main reason we are criticize is by our physical appearances I have been looked at differently because of my physical appearance. My family and friends believe I won't make it because of my inability to walk. No one should be criticize for any reason because everyone is someone important in this world.
"No matter big or small, short or tall, white black, Jewish or Christian the impotant thing to remember we are all unique individuals and the judgemental people are the ones who fail to realize it."

I can relate to being judged... Back in high school I was in a lift-a-thon competition (bench press)- because of my size (5'6" & 150lbs soaking wet) I was underestimated on my strength. The positive note of somebody judging somebody in a negative fashion is the absolute sweetest feeling in the world when you prove the judge otherwise!
