While one isolated incidence of judging is easily forgotten, when it happens repetitively, as is very often the case, it can have a huge impact. People tend to respond to how they are repetitively judged, due to emotional distress, becoming more like what people wrongfully accuse them of. A compelling emotional need for attention can lead a young girl to wearing clothes that will get the needed attention. Sometimes even before the girl has her first sexual encounter she becomes labeled as slut. If it is known that she hasn't had sex, ...

Judges are considered to be the leaders of one of the three branches of government, the judiciary. In most representative democracies with rule of law, judges are required to be impartial and not influenced by outside factors. In some civil law jurisdictions with inquisitorial systems, judges go to special schools to be trained after graduating with a law degree from a university; after such training they often become investigating magistrate. In common law countries, judges usually operate according to the adversarial system of justi ...

In the Tanakh or Old Testament, Abimelech was a son of the great judge Gideon (Judges 9:1); thus his name אֲבִימֶלֶךְ / אֲבִימָלֶךְ can best be interpreted "my father, the king". "Abimelech", a name claiming the inherited right to rule, was also a common name of the Philistine kings. He was, however, merely the son of Gideon's concubine; and to make good his claim to rule over Ephraim, he resorted to force. Aided by his mother's relatives, he put to death all of his half-brothers, seventy in number, ...

Judging is done very often in dating. Here we find the saying "no one likes a nice guy". It is not because people don't like being around a nice guy or a nice girl. The saying actually refers to the tendency to avoid nice guys or nice girls, not give them a chance. It works equally with both sexes. The people who we are trying to avoid, are the ones who are better at deceit and trickery. The ones who know how to say what you want to hear. The ones who are not nervous, because for them, there is little to gain, only a one night stand. The ones seeking ...

When Pat Mills was developing 2000 AD, he brought in his former writing-partner, John Wagner, to develop characters. Wagner had written various Dirty Harry-style "tough cop" stories for other titles, and suggested a character who took that concept to its logical extreme, imagining an ultra-violent lawman patrolling a future New York with the power to administer instant justice. Mills had developed a horror strip called Judge Dread but abandoned the idea as unsuitable for the new comic, and the name, with a little modificati ...

While the authorship of Judges has traditionally been ascribed to Samuel, the great majority of modern scholars have come to a much more complex conclusion, regarding the work as having hardly any literary unity at all. Many suspect the brief Book of Ruth to have originally been part of the Appendices of Judges, owing to its style, linguistic features and the time period in which its contents are set, it somehow becomin ...

According to the introduction to the Book of Judges (2:10-3:6), after the death of Joshua, a new generation of Israelites grew up and rather than worshipping Yahweh, instead worshipped the Baals and the Asherah, provoking God to anger. This divine wrath is described as causing the Israelites to be plundered by raiders and made it so that they were never able to defeat their enemies when they went out to fight. Hence they fell under the influence of the Canaanite ...

Judge Joseph Dredd (Stallone) is a street judge in a violent future world. He becomes convicted of a crime he did not commit by his main enemy Rico (Assante), and, aided by a prisoner that he previously helped to convict, attempts to clear his name. Dredd is also assisted by a Judge Fargo (von Sydow) for some time. The film contains several elements that are at odds with the comic series: the face of Judge Dredd is shown in deference to the film's expensive star; a love interest is allowed to develop between Dredd and Judge Hershey (D ...
