This introduces us to stereotypes, biases, prejudices and impression formation.
</span>
<span><span>There are many
reasons why getting to know people before forming any opinions about
them is important, significant and appealing.</span>
The
primacy effect. First impressions never last. In most ways, it is
important since people like us, makes assumptions based on what we see
or perceive about a person. This extrinsic trait or characteristic of a
person is the only observable and empirical idea that binds our belief
about that individual and through this trait or elicited behavior
(prejudice), we form beliefs thus we form our own stereotypes.
Stereotype now, is a cognitive and mental action designed to think of
people negatively but only in thoughts. These cognition or thinking
leads us to either form negative behavior or total social negligence
when the individual or subject is around, in most ways discrimination.
The
core principle of getting to know someone is validation, take note not
all of our social evaluations (prejudice) and shaped beliefs
(stereotypes) are true since most of them are out of conjecture.
We
ask the person, we get to know their own beliefs and perceptions and
therefore, we can understand what the real root from this attitude or
trait, a certain kind of personality caused by biology or sociology. </span>
The Thoreau feel that the people who serve the state have the same worth as dogs or horses and that they should receive no more respect then a man of straw or a lump of dirt, so these people feel that working for the state rarely make any moral distinctions,and it also says in the paragraph that they are likely to serve the devil. So by this article we can clearly see that they are apposed to any form of serving the state.
I hope this helped :)
