Question: How are prejudice and bias created?
Explanation:
-I want to find the origin of prejudice and biased opinions to overcome this opinion.
-I believe it is a common way of thinking, so I want to know what caused them to have those stereotypical opinions.
-I don’t know a lot about prejudice and biased opinions, so I want to learn more about their meanings.
-I want to know if prejudice and biased opinions are helpful sometimes.
-I would like to know if it is common for people to have prejudice and biased opinions.
-I read a book about someone who suffered because of prejudice and biased opinions, so I think it is a big deal. We need to stop the injustice!
Hi Sarah this blogpost caught my eye as I feel a though this is something that affects everyone even if we try not to. I wonder what effects that the media could have on our biases and prejudices , I think this could be something interesting to consider in your research. I found a website that could be helpful for your research https://scholars.org/contribution/how-racial-stereotypes-popular-media-affect-people-and-what-hollywood-can-do-become
I look forward to reading your next blog post !

Hi Sammie, thank you for your comment! I like how you realized how often our prejudices and biases occur even if we don’t intentionally do it. I loved your website because it presented me with detailed information of our prejudices and biases with a credible author. I will use your website for future research.
Hi Sarah,
Very interesting post! Your inquiry question and mine have are somewhat similar so I agree with you that we need to research more about it. It’s is necessary to combat discrimination and prejudice, and I believe that the only way to do so is by spreading awareness.
here are some resources that might help:

Hey Sarah!
I totally agree, it seems like in the day and age, where information is transferred so fast, prejudices and bias is created at an even faster pace!
If you’re further interested, I definitely recommend taking the psychology class our school offers! It is a very informative class, and there is a whole chapter on society and prejudices that is in the curriculum.
In the mean time, here are some articles that I definitely recommend reading that go in-depth about psychology and prejudices.
