Reflection on Prejudice

     Today, my English teacher, Mrs Raj told us about prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes. It was a fun and memorable lesson as we did many interesting activities which helped me understand better about the difference between the different stereotypes.

     I learnt that prejudice is the thought of a unreasonable judgement that you have no evidence to prove. Discrimination is the action derived from the prejudice. And stereotype is a generalization of all the people in a same group from the idea of the prejudice.

    An example of a prejudice is that because you see someone stealing before, if another robbery case happens, you would think that it is him. 

   An example of a discrimination is that if you if you think that people who are fat tend to have bad attitude, you would resolve to a act like avoiding that person, the act would be discrimination.

  An example of a stereotype would be that you notice that some Singaporeans like to complain, so you say "All Singaporeans like to complain".

   Generally, I think that this lesson is very enjoyable and I look forward to future lessons.
