Prejudice is something human kind has always dealt with. From the history books to our present.
Many times prejudice has lead to hatred, violence, and even death. According to.
Webster's Dictionary the definition of prejudice is, " An opinion favorable or unfavorable, .
formed without fair examination of facts; bias.".
Although prejudice can be embedded un us through experience or other's beliefs, I don't .
believe prejudice is inevitable. Prejudice is a conscious decision each person can choose or not .
choose to make. Parents can have a very stong influence on their children's beliefs. Parents are .
likely to impact their children with their own beliefs and biases more than anyone else. Parents .
are a major way in which prejudice is kept alive throughout generations. It is not, although, an .
excuse to hold prejudices. We all grow up, and can form our own beliefs based on facts. .
Another common way prejudice is born is through bad experiences. When we have a negative .
experience with something or someone, we tend to view everything related to that experience as.
bad. For example, if I met someone from Argentina (without ever having been to Argentina or .
knowing anyone else from Argentina) and that person did something I didn't like, I would probably .
make the generalization that all Argentines were bad. Most prejudices are formed without .
sufficient facts or evidence.
Prejudice also exists because many people are looking to blame someone else for their .
problems. Withough any facts, many people place blame on others out of their own faults and.
frustations. Many times those who are commonly blamed include ethnic, gender, racial, religious,.
and even age minorities. People can ease their own minds by placing others in a negative .
light.
Prejudice can be intentionally produced. Dividing groups by putting people on different sides.
or teams is one way to create prejudices. Another way is magnifying differences due to .
