First Impressions Last: Agree or Disagree? (Argumentative)

            I disagree with lasting first impressions. I think that what you see at first can be very deceiving. A lot of people say that first impressions act as barriers to the true personality of a person, but, what really is a first impression? A first impression is the event when one person first encounters another person and forms a mental image of that person. So the definition asserts that a first impression is a mental image formed upon a first encounter with a person. One would often view someone as kind and gentle with having a bright expression and creates images of the personality of a person, but what if those impressions that we perceive are the complete opposite of what we see at first and it changes over time? This just proves that first impressions should be tested rather than already considering it as a truth. Attitudes and personalities can be easily changed and manipulated so it is a necessity to always get to know a person first before surmising.
