Answer 1

Answer:

Prejudice[1] is an affective feeling towards a person based on their perceived group membership. The word is often used to refer to a preconceived, usually unfavourable, evaluation of another person based on that person's political affiliation, sex, gender, beliefs, values, social class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, beauty, occupation, education, criminality, sport team affiliation or other personal characteristics.[2]

Prejudice can also refer to unfounded or pigeonholed beliefs[3][4] and it may include "any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence".[5] Gordon Allport defined prejudice as a "feeling, favorable or unfavorable, toward a person or thing, prior to, or not based on, actual experience".[6] Auestad (2015) defines prejudice as characterized by 'symbolic transfer', transfer of a value-laden meaning content onto a socially formed category and then on to individuals who are taken to belong to that category, resistance to change, and overgeneralization.[7]

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Prejudice can become dangerous if it is spread on a large scale.
• In media such as newspapers, tv, or radio, for instance. Or on social media. If negative things about a specific group are repeated over and over, then we have to be careful.
• Especially if no one counters these ideas, more and more people may end up believing the prejudice.
• Negative prejudices that are common in a society can cause tension between groups.
• Or result in groups of people being discriminated against or treated unequally on the basis of, for example, their background, skin colour, or religion.
• This is called discrimination
• If members of a particular group - usually a minority - are often told that they don't belong, they may have trouble sustaining a positive self-image.
• There is a chance that some of them will turn their backs on society.History has taught us what can happen when prejudice is spread by ‘the powers that be’.
• For instance, when politicians use it to win votes. Or when a government takes measures against a certain group on the basis of prejudice.
• That is when people are excluded and persecuted. And that is when prejudice becomes extremely dangerous.
