Prejudice refers to a preconceived opinion or attitude about a person or group that is not based on actual knowledge or experience. It involves forming judgments, assumptions, or stereotypes about individuals or groups based on their social, ethnic, racial, religious, or other characteristics. Prejudice can lead to discrimination and unfair treatment towards those who are perceived to be different from oneself. It is often rooted in ignorance, fear, and bias, and can result in harmful consequences for individuals and communities. Overcoming prejudice involves challenging and changing these preconceived notions and treating all individuals with fairness and respect.
