Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

There are many people that judge other people only by their external appearance. Do you know that it can hurt you if you are this other person?

On the one hand, it isn´t good because you can make mistakes and it prevents you to meet new people who can be very nice and funny and one day you would be the best friend. For example; when you see a gipsy with his typical appearance wearing gold rings, necklaces and another pieces of jewelry, you simply cross the road and walk faster than before because you think that he can hurt you; but you don´t know who is hurting is you. This is a typical example when you judge a person by external appearances. Similarly, you do the same when you see vragants, tramps, ''kies'', petty thiefs, dirty people, drunks, foreigners (particularly an Arabian person, people from Eastern Europe like Romania...)...

On the other hand, it´s good because better safe than sorry; in other words, you can´t trust in everybody because there are really bad people in the world. For example; one of the last cases is Marta del Castillo, who was murdered by her boyfriend and the boyfriend´s friends, is still missing. It happened because she didn´t choose well; the boyfriend seems a gipsy but she loved it, and because that you should be careful.

In conclusion, you shouldn´t judge a person by external appearances, but you should choose very good your friends and you should be careful too.

DEC, a TV programm from Tele5, tried the Marta del Castillo´s case.
