65. Describe implicit prejudice and why it occurs, and explain how becoming less prejudiced involves developing an "openness to the other."
What will be an ideal response?
Answer will include that making a conscious decision to forsake prejudice does not immediately eliminate implicit prejudice, unconscious prejudiced thoughts and feelings about members of other ethnic groups. Quite likely this reflects lingering stereotypes and prejudices learned in childhood. Typically, overcoming unconscious implicit prejudice requires repeated efforts to learn to think, feel, and act differently. For many people, becoming less prejudiced begins by accepting the value of openness to the other, the ability to genuinely appreciate those who differ from us culturally. It is important to remember that being open to someone else does not mean that you have to agree with that person or turn your back on your own culture. Openness, in turn, leads to the acceptance of the values of tolerance and equality.
