Brieflydiscuss prejudice with an example.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Prejudice is an attitude that prejudges people, usually in a negative way, who are different from "us" in race, ethnicity, or religion. For example, if an employer assumes that white workers will be more productive than blacks or Latinos, she or he is prejudiced. Prejudice is not one-sided because anyone can be prejudiced. Prejudice is most evident in stereotypes and scapegoating.
