Why do people keep on seeing the bad things that people have done? Why do we judge other people quickly sometimes?

Is it in human nature that's why it's happening or is it the upbringing of the individual that he or she has seen growing up?

What can be done to be better and not to judge other people just by basing on looks but looking deeper into his or her character?

Share your opinion about it.

Western society adopted feminism and the concept of Victim-hood where there is always someone to blame and point the finger at regardless of character or circumstance in some cases with a focus on the individual. Example: Salem witch trials --> Towards Trigger Warnings
Eastern society always focused more on the collective over the individual and so instead it's a public shaming when one does something wrong.
E.G. Chinese tourists leaving behind garbage --> embarrassing China's reputation --> and shaming the people who do it.

So depends do you want
 Collective shame - China/Japan example
 Individual shame based culture - USA/Canada

Similar logic
Reform based prison --> Presume Good can be found in people even if they do evil try to reintegrate in time assumes a hard forgiveness.
Punishment based prison/Poverty Prison --> Presume Evil dominates a person who did a bad deed or are to poor and will become evil if released instead of reforming or trying to integrate into society.  

Again the question becomes
German Prison System - Humane
American Prison System -Inhumane
