On prejudice
It is known that prejudice is one’s view diverges from those who observe the correct social norms. Therefore, prejudice is subjective, influenced by personal experiences, surroundings, educational level, race, gender and so on. It’s true that opinions vary from person to person, so causing distinctions and prejudices.
For example, the process of producing prejudice is like watching scenery through colored glasses. The scenery itself isn’t change, however, if the person wearing colored glasses, comments and feelings can be really different.
It’s obvious that prejudice does do great harm. In my opinion, firstly, prejudice affects the development of interpersonal relationship. Because prejudice shows up automatically when we are getting along with others. As a result, friends won’t be so intimate with each other.
Secondly, prejudice impacts the molding of characteristic, physical and psychological health. Human is so socialized that people who surrounding will have an important on their opinions. A research indicates that is likely that a three-year-old child can have racial prejudice, because they influence people’s attitudes and behaviors. Furthermore, may be prejudiced people is not so generous, they always pay more attention on trifling things. They are not so objective that can’t learn to evaluate things fairly.
Thirdly, prejudice blocks the development of society. Take racial prejudice for example, racialists convince that they are superior to others, they have discrimination on other races. So it arouses people’s fury, violence and commotions, which are not of beneficial to the social steady. Thus people won’t be united when the country to resist external invaders and internal crisis.
As far as I’m concerned, everyone has prejudice about other things and people, but the degree is different. So we’d better not only learn to view things in all-sides but also view from others’ perspective.。
