Answer:
Reducing prejudice is most likely accomplished through cooperation, contact, critical thinking and empathy. Cooperation might be accomplished through the use of the jigsaw classroom, which stresses reliance on all members of the class to accomplish things. Contact stresses that if the contact is to work, all students must be at the same status level. Critical thinking stresses a careful examination of how stereotypes work.
