Prejudice

Prejudice is when someone has a negative opinion about a person or group without knowing them well, often based on unfair ideas or stereotypes. It means judging someone just because of who they are, rather than getting to know them as individuals.

Examples

• It’s important to challenge our own prejudice so that we can make friends with people who might be different from us and learn from their unique experiences and cultures.
• In history class, we learned how prejudice against certain groups of people led to unfair treatment and how we can work together to prevent that from happening again.
• When playing on a sports team, it’s essential to treat all teammates equally, regardless of their skills, to avoid any prejudice that could hurt team spirit and friendship.
