Compare and contrast stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination and provide an example of each
What will be an ideal response?
Stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination are all forms of attitudes a person may hold toward a social group. However, each of these forms is different. First, stereotyping is a cognitive component that involves beliefs about what a particular group is like. An example of stereotyping would be the assumption that all Asians are good at math. Next, prejudice is an affective component that involves the feelings one has about a particular group. An example of prejudice would be if one felt disgust toward gay people. Finally, discrimination is a behavioral component that involves differential actions taken toward members of specific social groups. An example of discrimination would be if a person did not hire a qualified woman for a job merely because she is a woman.
