There's a trade-off between evaluating everything on a case-by-case basis (which takes time and energy) and using general rules of thumb that allow quick decisions making, but is essentially discrimination.
I like to reflect on my own judgement before I actually need to use it, deciding which rules will be acceptable, what situations call for carefulness, what ideas I should be wary of even if I'm in a horrible mood.
The subconscious is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it's nice to take charge of one's own thoughts a little bit.

- tracker1 11y agoAll judgements in favor of one person over another are discrimination. The problem is when discrimanation is for immaterial factors based on racial/gender attributes over those relevant to the environment. In some ways a person's culture can play a large role vs. physical attributes in a given work environment. I think it comes down to making at least an effort to treat everyone fairly and not making broad assumptions.
