A '''value judgment''' (or '''normative judgement''') is a [[judgment]] of the [[right (ethics)|rightness]] or [[wrong]]ness of something or someone, or of the [[usefulness]] of something or someone, based on a comparison or other relativity. As a generalization, a value judgment can refer to a judgment based upon a particular set of [[Values#Personal, cultural or religious values|values]] or on a particular [[value system]]. A related meaning of value judgment is an expedient evaluation based upon limited information at hand, where said evaluation was undertaken because a decision had to be made on short notice. '''Judgmentalism''' may refer to an overly critical or moralistic attitude or behaviour.<ref>[[Oxford English Dictionary]], [https://www.oed.com/dictionary/judgementalism_n?tab=meaning_and_use judgementalism | judgmentalism], accessed on 28 October 2024</ref>
