You could answer 'None' and be right almost 98% of the time or so. It all depends on what you mean by 'good'.

That little nitpick aside though (and I don't believe you can select even 'decent' people simply from stills), I'll play and say all three are good people/none are good people (depending on your definition).

I would not jump to any conclusion about those pictures without the context and relationships involved.

The problem of "good or bad" is also at issue because the value judgment is contingent and relative to my bias and the particulars of the situation. Useful, constructive, destructive and other terms come to mind and a moral presupposition is not necessary to evaluate that.

To make a blanket, "isness" statement about a person is most often an error in any case.

It rests on the assumption that one act or interaction determines the entire character of a person and that does not usually apply in any personality.

I won't provide examples, but it is not easy to ascertain how that works and how generalizing affects our judgements and views.

Rosa Park is Baltimore County's first Asian office, that's good.
Middle shot is a young man modeling camo shorts, that's good.
Third picture is a man firing a handgun, wearing protective eye and ear wear, that's good.

The knee jerk stereotype reactions many would have against any of these is easy to imagine: bad cop, gang banger, gun nut.

I know any of them IRL. They could be walking saints or obnoxious bastards.

Yet many people (many who call themselves progressive) will judge the value of the person's life on such simple information.
