What are some of the experiences you had that formed your judgement.

I suspect that we all had some important experiences that had a strong impact on how we see things, and what we think is good or bad. I know that for me it included the Vietnam war, or the reaction to it by my family and friends. The push for equal rights for women was also important. Also my Father’s vehemence one day, when we were talking about an opportunity to take advantage of some loophole and get a lot of money for nothing, that this was not something anybody in our family would ever do. Of course, there were many more, but those leap to mind when I start thinking about it.

Can you point to any event or series of events that had that kind of impact on you, in terms of forming the way you judge behavior? What impact did those events have on you? How did they form your judgement?

(I’m not sure judgement is the right term for what I’m after, but I hope you get a sense of it from my examples. See the topics for ideas about other ways to think of it.)
