Question

Write a brief note on the following:

Prejudice

Answer 1

Prejudice is an unfair and negative attitude toward people just because they belong to a certain group, such as a caste, religion, race, or gender. It is not based on personal experience or facts but on stereotypes and assumptions.

Prejudice is learned from family, friends, society, and media. It leads people to judge others without really knowing them. For example, believing all members of a certain caste are “inferior” or thinking people of another religion are “untrustworthy” are forms of prejudice.
