      Entry Title:  Prejudice vs. Racism

      Prejudice:  preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.
      An individual may be prejudiced against others based on factors such as race, age, gender, sexual orientation, class status, religion, and nationality, among other things. Some of the more common examples of prejudice include: racism, sexism and homophobia.

      Racism:  prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
      It may be further defined as the hatred of one person by another — or the belief that another person is less than human — because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person.



           Learning Target(s)                                         
      • I can explain the difference between prejudice and racism.
      • I can engage in a mature discussion about these topics with my classmates.
