Racial PrejudiceWhat is prejudice?- set of learned beliefs and values ​​that lead a person to be prejudiced against other members of other groups.-prejudice is practical ( bequem, brauchbar, passend) and inaccurate.- ---> people are not considered individuals, biased people label others as special groups - prejudices are mainly based on inaccurate information about people. Prejudice comes from three common parts (these parts constitute a prejudiced belief): 1. Generalizations - a very broad and simple statement about a group of people - here is perhaps an appropriate point to provide an example: " All Catholics" or when the word "they" appears strongly - the key words for generalizations are "all" and "they" --- >generalizations are also very inaccurate, because we are not justified in asserting that all Catholics Members of this group or race share the same characteristic traits.G. are unfair descriptions of people and they are mostly based on very incomplete information. After encountering a member of a different group with extraordinary behavior, we often assume that all members of that group exhibit that same extraordinary behavior.2. Exaggerated stereotypes, often a negative image of a particular group of people - a stereotype often contains an element of truth, but this element of truth is combined with an exaggerated and unwarranted image of that group. Ethnocentricity - there are two types of prejudice: 1. prejudice against all outsiders -> your group is the only one that is right and proper, all other groups are excluded, other groups are portrayed as strange and inferior. 2. prejudice against specific groups ----> you are able to cope with certain other groups, but you disapprove of a particular group of their religion -> that is why you have a prejudice against that particular group. But this kind of prejudice does not express that your religion is the best and that all other religions are worse than yours. only biased against that particular religion.---->prejudice against all other groups is called ethnocentricityPrejudice and DiscriminationDiscrimination:- When talking about discrimination against a special group we mean the combination of prejudice with actions. In this sense, the word "discriminatory" means that we treat a group in a negative way. -the effect of people being discriminated against: loss in terms of money, housing, education -forms of discrimination:1.the verbal abuse (anti-speech)--->by specific terms ---> undermines their sense of confidence of "I am not wanted in this society" 2. Discrimination in employment ---> Refusal of employment to a group -> disadvantage in terms of employment, income, personal decline. Attack on property-->destroying cars-->Expulsion due to lack of physical security4.Physical attack---->Assaults against members of the group; stabbings; deaths--->additional lack of security; anger ; frustration; formation of self-defense groups 5.
