Prejudice

=Prejudice=

A //prejudice// is a **prejudgment**: i.e. an assumption made about someone or something before having adequate knowledge to be able to do so with guaranteed accuracy. The word prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgment toward a people or a person because of **__race, social class, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, political beliefs, religion, sexual orientation__** or other **__personal characteristics__** At times, the terms //**prejudice**// and **//stereotype//** might be confusing:
 * Prejudices are abstract-general preconceptions or abstract-general attitudes towards any type of situation, object, or person.
 * Stereotypes are generalizations of existing characteristics that reduce complexity. (Wikipedia)
