    Awesome work guys. I agree, it is so easy to judge when you don’t know the full story. Sometimes we don’t even realize how judgment blinds our ability to be empathetic. Don’t judge unless you get the full story. Consider others perspectives, be open minded and appreciate the differences even if you don’t understand fully.

    Great job guys!!
    I totally agree on how we can be so quick to make judgement about other people and if only we took the time to listen to the full story the outcome will be different. It is very important to understand that everyone has a story! Great utilization of the story-telling component

    Informative video! The examples were an effective choice to get your points across. It’s amazing how much the quality of the interaction can increase when it is approached in a non-judgemental manner with an open mind. Sometimes it can be hard to incorporate information from previous experience without jumping to conclusions.

    Good job folks! Good use of course concepts to illustrate an example and the Prezi was gorgeous (colour scheme and layout was really good in our opinion. It’s definitely important not to judge others, especially without knowing their story or information.

    Great work folks! Loved the colour scheme and layout of the Prezi. I liked the narration and video pieces as well, as it incorporated more than one media. It’s definitely important not the judge, especially without knowing someone’s backstory or intentions.

    This was extremely eye opening! I really liked how you incorporated the perspective on homeless people since it is such an important topic in current society. The combination of images, text and videos included also made the video really interesting and engaging. It definitely is important to be open minded and realize that everyone has their own stories/situations and not to make conclusions.

    we like how this video has a judging component that is looked at because we feel like a lot of people do this and a personal story needs to be taken into consideration before judging. Good job!
