Q. Which of the following is true for prejudice?
- It means to judge other people negatively or see them as inferior.
- People's religious beliefs, the colour of their skin are examples.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Notes: Prejudice means to judge other people negatively or see them as inferior. When we think that only one particular way is the best and right way to do things we often end up not respecting others, who may prefer to do things differently. For example, if we think English is the best language and other languages are not important, we are judging these other languages negatively. As a result, we might not respect people who speak languages other than English. We can be prejudiced about many things: people's religious beliefs, the colour of their skin, the region they come from, the accent they speak in, the clothes they wear, etc.
