VIP Class Notes (Vicki)

Write about your favourite book

There’s a social stereotype that confuses me a lot, people like to judge others through tags. For example, Shanghainese is stingy, Sichuannese likes spicy food, girls with tattoos are bad, good looking people must be kind. People can easily get these conclusions without any evidence. In my opinion, this kind of behaviors is are irresponsible to others. Many people will be misunderstood.

Once, my friend quickly entered entries a law firm after quitting, when he told me that, I said: “it must be because you’ve worked in court office procurator-ate before.” He was angry with me and said:”no!” Then I realized I ignored his efforts for on work and that’s unfair to him.

So I don’t like people who always label others, we’d better judge people after knowing them.
