CONCEPT

Prejudice refers to a preconceived opinion or feeling toward a person based

solely on their affiliation with a group. This feeling may be translated into action by
discriminating against the person or members of the target group.
An individual may be prejudiced against others based on factors such as race,
age, gender, sexual orientation, class status, religion, nationality, and amongst other
things.

Examples:
a) “I don’t want Blacks living in my neighborhood!”
b) “I don’t want Jews owning businesses in my town!”
c) “I don’t want a Muslim community center in lower Manhattan!”

These examples clearly show that there are prejudices going on. The statements
prejudge against black people, Jews, and Muslims basically because of their race,
nationality and religion. Even though they have not done anything wrong yet, but
because of their backgrounds, people tend to prejudge them and eventually
discriminate them. These are very common in our society even up to the present time.
Another term that causes confusion and is often used interchangeably with
“prejudice” is “bias”. But these two terms differ from each other. Let’s examine how it
differs from the former.

Bias is a tendency to lean in a certain direction, either in favor of or against a

particular thing. To be truly biased means to lack a neutral viewpoint on a
particular topic. Somewhere along the line, bias took on a negative
connotation.

If you're biased toward something, then you lean favorably toward it; you tend
to think positively of it. Meanwhile, if you're biased against something, then you lean
negatively against it; you tend to think poorly of it.

Examples:
a) In other Christian sects, the preacher position is only given to males and not to
females.
b) Sectarian schools only accept students who share the same religious beliefs.

c) Some churches don’t accept women who wear pants instead of dresses or skirts
during their services.

In the given examples, a certain group or people is given favor than the other. In
number one, males are given more power or authority than females. Number two,
students who are interested to study in a school but don’t share the same religion can’t
be admitted. And lastly, women who want to attend church services aren’t allowed to
go if they don’t wear the prescribed clothes for the said services.
