If we look it up in the dictionary, prejudice is an opinion or thought about something or someone, without proper knowledge or foundation. But we know that it goes much further than that, because prejudice is a saga of intolerance, hatred, segregation and discrimination. Its cause is ignorance, because it reveals that the prejudiced person has a very high lack of knowledge and tolerance and can influence others like them to think and act in the same way against other people or social groups. This type of positioning is still very present all over the world, affecting and destroying much of world society. But what are the most common types of prejudice?
We must understand that prejudice is a destructive position for all of humanity, it adds nothing to our evolution.
We need to take a closer look at this type of disease, which is prejudice, so that it no longer exists anywhere on this planet. We are all one race, the human race, and when there is a separation of values, it only diminishes who we are.
The best way to end or reduce prejudice is to get to know people better and understand that we are equal. No to prejudice!
