Question

Give three major sources of prejudice.

Answer 1

1. Social learning: People learn prejudice from family, friends, and society. For example, children may adopt the biased attitudes of their parents.
2. Stereotyping: Oversimplified and fixed ideas about groups lead to unfair judgments. For example, believing all members of a caste or religion are the same.
3. Competition: When groups compete for jobs, resources, or power, they may blame or dislike each other, leading to prejudice.
