The relationship between first impressions and future interactions with the subject is crucial. It is at this moment that your brain collects a variety of subconcious data that dictates the way you will communicate with the subject. Attempting to bypass this function is done so in complete futility. And so the individual is broken down into categories that we can easily recognize for future purposes, such as; socio-economic background, race, personality type and so on. One can claim that objectivity is possible in social interaction, but I propose that due to nurturing effects, socialization, and other factors, we will assign stereotypes, generalizations and categories to any subject upon the initial encounter. After many subsequent meetings with any given subject, our perspective evolves and objectivity becomes more and more possible. The more people we meet and the more relationships that we build, the more complex and objectve our social interactions become and we begin to see faces in the chaotic swirl around us.
