Answer 1

Stigma (societal stereotypes), prejudice (negative beliefs that you think are true about a person or group of people), and discrimination (actions against a person or group due to prejudice) can result in tense surroundings and mental health issues.[1]Having prejudice and interacting with different races can actually lower your executive brain functioning; this is due to the idea that highly prejudiced individuals must exert much energy self-regulating their behaviors.[2] In order to fully overcome prejudice, you must work toward lessening your own prejudice as well as fighting to end prejudice on a societal level. You can overcome prejudice by challenging your own biases, increasing your social connection, and coping healthfully with prejudice.
