please read the following carefully, noting espicially the terms stereoptype, prejudice, bias, and discrimination. Be prepared tomorrow to write out a definition of each of those. I scanned the reading in; hence it is smaller than I would like. You should be able to enlarge your screens for easier viewing.
Prejudice means judging someone or having an idea about them before you actually know anything about them.
It can also mean having an opinion about something without knowing anything about it.

 | It seems a bit silly to have an opinion on something or someone you know nothing about! |  |
| Unfortunately, we don't always see that we are being prejudiced. | |
| We don't always see that we have strong ideas about certain people, their culture or their religion. | |
| Unfortunately, we don't always see that we have been influenced by family, friends and the media to have ideas about something or someone that we have no personal experience of. As responsible journalists, it is important that you consciously and consistently work to remain objective, to be mindful of discrimination, prejudices and stereotypes. Quick assessment: write out the definitions for bias, discrimination and prejudice and stereotype. | |
