Prejudice

A lot of times when we hear the word prejudice we automatically assume it has to do with race, which could be the case but not all the time. Prejudice can be found everywhere when it comes to gender, culture, religion, and sports. The definition of prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. So our own prejudices basically are for no reason or what we have been, though. We learn these prejudices because of our parents,the news, our experience, and the people were around.

We were put on this earth to care for each other and I’m trying to fulfill that every single day. Furthermore, parents need to monitor what their kids are watching or hearing because it does influence the way kids think. In addition we adults need to start teaching our younger generation how to show people respect and kindness. If we start this now our future leaders will unite this world to be a peaceful place where everyone can live without judging each
