Prejudice
You may ask yourself what is prejudice? Well, the definition of dictionary.com says that it is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. The word prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgement toward people or a person because of their race, social class, gender, ethnicity, age, political beliefs, religion, sexual orientation or any other personal characteristics. It also means beliefs without knowledge of the facts and may include any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence. Many people become prejudice towards other people on stereotypes and believe what other people say when those things are not true. They let themselves be tricked and influenced by others and therefore they act and say certain things to others based on the opinions of other people.
