Write two prejudices on rural people and 2 on urban people
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
In many parts of the globe, some urban dwellers have stereotypes about the villagers being stupid, rude, uneducated, uncivilized, poor, etc. In worst cases, this amounts to a feeling of superiority similar to racism. Is there a word for such kind of discrimination?
Example sentence:
Calling people uneducated and uncivilized just because they come from small villages is nothing more than {this type of discrimination}.

The best I can think of is snobbery. Maybe you could qualify it as urban snobbery or anti-rural snobbery. – dangph Jun 29 '17 at 6:40
The general term for middle-class elitism is bougie, a slangy foreshortening of the bourgeoisie ("people who live in the borough" aka townies), much reviled and defamed by Marxists and teenagers and Marxist teenagers. – Dan Bron Jun 29 '17 at 10:28
@Lawrence For me, the word for looking down one's nose will always be sanctimonious, because of the anecdote in the footnote to this old post. – Dan Bron Jun 29 '17 at 10:52
@Lawrence I missed that pun and now I'm mad at myself. That's actually hilarious. – Dan Bron Jun 29 '17 at 10:57

I think the word you are looking for is "elitism". According to wikipedia it is defined as:
the belief or attitude that individuals who form an elite—a select group of people with a certain ancestry, intrinsic quality, high intellect, wealth, specialized training, experience, distinctive attributes, whose influence or authority is greater than that of others, whose views on a matter are to be taken more seriously, whose views or actions are more likely to be constructive to society as a whole, or whose extraordinary skills, abilities, or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.
Answer:
Prejudice is the mindset of the people without actually knowing the base reality of the situation.
Explanation:
RURAL AREAS:
Superstition: This prejudice is most commonly seen with the illiterate and sometimes literate too.
Discrimination: This is mostly seen in South Asian countries on the basis of the creed and the family they get born into.
URBAN AREAS:
Superiority Complex: This is a common trait for those who think they are above those who are not as financially strong as them.
Ignorance: They tend to ignore the face of serious and genuine problems of less fortunate.
