Judging situations and people are part of what keeps us alive and well. Have you ever heard of using "good judgement??"
IMHO, you are not so much asking (or expecting) your daughter to be "judgmental" but rather to evaluate the BEHAVIOR of the individuals with whom she comes in contact and hopefully to avoid individuals who manifest the behaviors you mention. This, again IMHO, is not the same as sitting in judgment of others.
