1 HFCC Learning Lab Comprehension B4.0 JUDGEMENTS The word judgment is often used synonymously with words like conclusion, decision, and opinion. As far as a critical reading skill, however, we would like to differentiate judgment From its synonyms and explain how it has a special application to ideas. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, A judgment is a capacity to make reasonable decisions, especially in regard to the practical affairs of life. It involves good sense; it involves wisdom, in most cases, it involves a choice between good and evil. If, for example, you choose a particular car, or a dinner, or a mate, you have made a choice based on how you judge what is good for you. There is, of course a degree of importance involved - a dinner is not equated in importance with a mate but the point is that you consider the advantages and disadvantages (or in a moral sense, the good and evil) and make a judgment based on what would be most practical and most beneficial for you. Judges make judgments. Like judges, readers must make judgments on the evidence and examples provided by writers. A controversial issue like abortion or apartheid requires an intelligent reading and sifting of facts and examples before a valid judgment can be made by the reader. To make a sound judgment when reading, first read carefully. Evaluate the facts, ponder opinions, make inferences, and constantly think over the situation and evidence the author has presented. Finally, make a judgment that based on the facts, evidence and your own value system - that is the laws, religion and cultural milieu of society. Do not be swayed by sensationalism or highly emotional language intended to distort the facts. A judgment resembles a conclusion. But while judgments and conclusions are decisions based on valid evidence: facts, examples statistics - judgments alone have moral overtones. Conclusions, on the other hand, do not involve morality. Concluding that a diesel engine will out perform a gasoline engine under a certain set of circumstances, does not involve any ethical considerations. Nor does a choice of one structural steel over another involves ethics. They are conclusions, involving little or no consideration of human morality. Although we have reduced the process of making judgment to several steps, judgments are not east to make. To be sure, they often involve opinions as well as facts and inferences. One shades and, sometimes, shapes the other. There are no sure-fire formulas or steps that will guarantee the wisdom of Solomon; however, judgments - or decisions - must be made. Stances should be taken based on careful, critical reading. B4.0 1

2 The following exercise will help you to form judgments based on facts. Read the selection, then complete the statements following the selection. I Four of us patients were sitting in our wheelchairs out on the hospital porch one July day, when suddenly the bricklayer with the fractured knee pointed toward the far edge of the lawn. Several hundreds yards away near some trees a man was waving his arms frantically and jumping up and down. I could just make out that he had long hair and was wearing a sport jacket and slacks. As we watched, he dropped to his knees, tore off his jacket, and began swinging it around in every direction. Must be on drugs, snorted the bricklayer. All those long-haired hippies are hopped up on pills these days - or worse. Oh, honestly! said a teen-age girl two chairs away. He s just signaling somebody we can t see - somebody in those trees. On his hands and knees? chuckled the young man next to me. Besides, he s facing us, not the trees. I ll bet he s from the psycho ward. The guard ll be out to get him soon. Just then our ward nurse came out and saw the man. Why that s Slow-Joe Adato, the first floor orderly. He never moves unless he s forced to. He must be in trouble! She was right. Seconds later Slow-Joe found his feet and came streaking across the lawn toward us, with a swarm of bees trailing angrily behind him. I never would have believed that four people in wheelchairs could leave a porch so fast. 1. The formed a judgment without sufficient evidence. a. narrator b. young man c. ward nurse 2.

The Pueblo Golden Age ( ), noted for the beautiful buildings, fine pottery and high-quality cotton cloth created by the ancient Pueblos, had come and gone.
