Humans form prejudice due to many different encounters in life. It is very common for everyone to experience these feelings against others many times in their life. Despite the commonness of this attitude, prejudice is never positive. No matter how hard humans try, we cannot deny that prejudice effects the way we think about something and may cloud our opinions in shying them away from the truth. Our preformed opinions about someone or something will always cause us to believe what we think off of these thoughts is correct and dismiss any other conflicting argument which may in fact be right. Prejudice can, and will, always get in the way of the truth.

I think you are right about the fact that being prejudice can get in the way of the truth. Also you're correct about humans being prejudice but, I do believe that being prejudice can be a positive as well.For example I can like something for no reason at all even with out having any experience about that thing, and still have good felling for it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that prejudice is usually caused by past experiences, but I also think that people are able to ignore their biased thoughts and think rationally about other people. Also, adding a real world example would help your posts credibility.
