Prejudice; Then and Now

          Prejudice is an opinion formed only on appearance and not based on an experience or reason.


It can be against a sex, releigion, class, language, or race. Prejudice is not something you are born with, it is inhereted when one is young from parents, grandparents, family members, teachers, family friends, or the people you live with.
It is passed on from generation to generation. Prejudice still exists today, and is now worse more than other, due to mass media and the stereotypes it presents. Prejudice cannot be avoided because it is just one of those things that happen everyday. You are prejudice without even thinking about it.
When you grow up with just a little prejudice in your house, you eventually become prejudice towards others without even thinking about it.


For example, clicking this here will demonstrate the prejudice still going on in America even after the Civil Rights Movement. People are still prejudiced against to this day.
