The Framing of Society

Framing to me has become a more personal matter. A structure constructed strait from the interiors of the mind based on previous experiences with that particular subject or related topics. In many senses, it is an opinion, or judgment. When I first began reading and researching the idea of Framing, it sounded more and more of a deeper theory than just plain judgment. However, the major difference is the fact that framing requires a larger amount knowledge and  research in order to come to an honest, true, and philosophical conclusion. Judgment on the other hand, seems to be based more on a first encounter. People judge others immediately by clothing, speaking, overall appearance. On a larger scale, framing is how we can categorize large amounts of information about a particular subject that we have acquired over a longer time span. It has been introduced as, and become, an important thinking skill that determines not necessarily what we see, but how we see it.
