What is Prejudice?
Prejudice is the act of judging other people in a negative or inferior manner without knowing much about them. It involves preconceived opinions or attitudes about individuals or groups based on characteristics such as their religion, region, skin color, language, accent, or clothing. Prejudices are often based on false beliefs and ideas.
What is stereotype?
