The only thing that comes to my head is pride and predjudice and i don’t know what it means.

Carson

Makes sense.

Ady

Haha me too Megan

Trishelle

Alright, I mean that works.😂

When I think of prejudice I think of hate. I think of not liking someone because of something they might of done. So prejudice that exists today can be seen all around us.

I agree with the word hate but it is hate with no reason

Ady

2/19/2020 01:15:08 pm

Yeah

Trishelle

2/19/2020 01:15:23 pm

Your right

hailey

2/19/2020 01:15:59 pm

I agree. Prejudice is all over.

Ady

I’m not sure what that word means honestly, I’ve only ever heard it used as “pride and prejudice”

Eliza

2/19/2020 01:13:48 pm

That’s a good movie.

Eliza

When I think of prejudice I think of judge mental. One time of prejudice is judging someone before you know them.

Janessa

2/19/2020 01:14:35 pm

I agree

Kendra

2/19/2020 01:15:33 pm

That’s what I think too.

Erik

2/19/2020 01:17:38 pm

I agree with prejudice being judge mental

Olivia

2/19/2020 01:17:45 pm

I agree, being judge mental is a part of prejudice.

Keely

Exactly, prejudice is just based on assumptions. We can’t be like Othello and jump to conclusions.

Prejudice makes me think about racism. People come of with their own idea of something that isn’t even factual. This is a problem because they are strongly convinced about something and it’s not even true. You should learn your facts before speaking out.

hailey

2/19/2020 01:14:45 pm

I agree. Prejudice is based on assumptions not facts.

Nathan

2/19/2020 01:15:18 pm

Ya me to

Olivia

2/19/2020 01:16:43 pm

I agree, racism is a top kind of prejudice.

Carson

2/19/2020 01:21:06 pm

Yes Racism is a root for prejudice.

hailey

2/19/2020 01:13:33 pm

When I hear the word prejudice, I think of unwarranted dislike or distaste for a person. To me, prejudice means to make generalizations instead of judging someone individually or personally.

Dakota James

2/19/2020 01:15:12 pm

Yeah pretty much.

Nathan

2/19/2020 01:13:33 pm

When I think of prejudice i think of judging with out reason. An example is the democratic and republican parties. People vote on people based off of the party not who is the best candidate.

Dakota James

2/19/2020 01:15:41 pm

Yeah that’s true a lot of the time.

Jonah

2/19/2020 01:17:04 pm

Politics is actually a really good example that I didn’t even think about until I read this.

Tyler

2/19/2020 01:19:33 pm

Yah people always have an opinion on politics but don’t know anything about it.

Janessa

2/19/2020 01:13:48 pm

When I hear that word, I think of the movie/book “Pride and Prejudice”, even though I’ve never seen or read it. Lots of minorities face prejudice today. Also high schoolers. They can be really mean and judgmental. Lookin at you Myah.

Kendra

2/19/2020 01:14:57 pm

Poor Myah......

Keely

2/19/2020 01:16:56 pm

This is very true.

Janessa

2/19/2020 01:19:21 pm

I’m just joking. I would’ve put anyone’s name there. I just decided to pick on you today Myah.

Madeline

2/19/2020 01:19:27 pm

Is there some prejudice here?

Kendra

2/19/2020 01:14:05 pm

I think prejudice is judging someone before you actually know them. Prejudice can easily be seen in schools when bullying.

Eliza

2/19/2020 01:14:35 pm

School is a good example.

Trishelle

2/19/2020 01:14:29 pm

I think prejudice is hate toward someone without knowing them.

Sienna Ealand

2/19/2020 01:14:52 pm

Typically I believe prejudice is coming up with an assumption about someone or something you’ve never actually met or delt with. Some forms of prejudice we still have are in politics, rumors, and just randomly hating someone for nothing.

Keely

2/19/2020 01:15:13 pm

Well first, I think of the movie “Pride and Prejudice”. Prejudice is an opinion not based on any real reason right? Yah I think so. I think of extremely frustrating English debates. Everyone tries to throw around big words and experiences that aren’t theirs so that they sound smart.

Janessa

2/19/2020 01:16:48 pm

I’m sensing a little bit of heat........ get into any arguments lately?

Olivia

2/19/2020 01:16:12 pm

I think prejudice points out how judging we are as a nation. It’s a form of hate we act towards each other. There are too many things to judge to name them all.

Janessa

2/19/2020 01:17:57 pm

Your last sent nice really hit me....... it’s so sad that that’s the world we live in.

Anthony

2/19/2020 01:20:11 pm

It would be very hard to name them all.

Erik

2/19/2020 01:16:57 pm

When I hear prejudice I think if judging before knowing all of the context. Dislike is another thing I think of when I hear that word or opinionated assumptions. This word means making assumptions or judging and that’s what I think of when I hear prejudice.

Ele

2/19/2020 01:21:27 pm

I agree!

Lizzie

2/19/2020 01:21:57 pm

Very true! I feel the same way.

Anthony

2/19/2020 01:17:09 pm

When I hear the word prejudice i think of an assumption that was made without any knowledge. An example could be discrimination against a certain group of people. Another is judging a certain sport when you haven't participated in it.

Jonah

2/19/2020 01:21:20 pm

Yeah coming from a cross country runner.

Boaz

2/19/2020 01:21:47 pm

I agree that prejudice is usually generalized over a big population

Beth

2/19/2020 01:17:15 pm

When I think of prejudice I think of pride and prejudice. Some different types of prejudice are racial, financial, social, and many others.

Anthony

2/19/2020 01:19:43 pm

The movie is also certainly something that comes to mind.

Ele

2/19/2020 01:20:44 pm

Yesssss!!

Madeline

2/19/2020 01:21:14 pm

Good examples.

Jonah

2/19/2020 01:21:53 pm

I didn’t think about financial.

Tyler

2/19/2020 01:17:21 pm

When I think of the word prejudice I think of a person having an opinion about something that they don’t know anything about. One example of this in our world today is politics, everyone has a certain opinion on politics when most people don’t know a single thing about it.

Beth

2/19/2020 01:19:10 pm

Politics are very controversial

Boaz

2/19/2020 01:19:15 pm

I totally agree that politics is a form of prejudice. I think it would be very beneficial for the country if more people saw it that way

Erik

2/19/2020 01:19:49 pm

I agree with prejudice being opinionated

Boaz

2/19/2020 01:17:31 pm

Probably the most obvious example of prejudice is racism however there are many different types. Prejudice is mostly based on surface level appearances. Prejudices are often made with disregard towards the truth, whether that be intentional or not.

Myah

2/19/2020 01:20:58 pm

I like how you described prejudice.

Ele

2/19/2020 01:17:44 pm

When I think of prejudice I think of someone having an opinion of something that they have only heard about and have never witnessed it in real life on their own.

Beth

2/19/2020 01:19:38 pm

That’s a good definition

Jaylee

2/19/2020 01:18:01 pm

When comes to mind is people making choices just because other people say or think things just to fit in. Its a decision or choice without reason. Some prejudice in today’s world is being raised to believe something and that’s what you think is right and don’t question it.

Lizzie

2/19/2020 01:21:28 pm

I agree with this statement.

Madeline

2/19/2020 01:18:09 pm

I guess what comes to my mind when I think of prejudice is the movie Pride and Prejudice because my mom used to love that movie and watch it all the time. But I think prejudice is more of a grudge or something you hold against someone when you are thinking pridefully of yourself. I would say that some prejudice in our world today is how people see each other just based off of what they think they have done.

Myah

2/19/2020 01:22:12 pm

Prejudice can be tied in with miscommunication.

Micah

2/19/2020 01:25:26 pm

I also think that prejudice is often focused around people’s actions.

Myah

2/19/2020 01:19:57 pm

When I hear prejudice I think of judging. I also think of Beetlejuice because they kinda rhyme and they look the same. Prejudice that’s happened to me is when I first moved here and Janessa and I hated each other even though we had never even talked. But now we are best friends, so it’s all good.

Lizzie

2/19/2020 01:20:13 pm

When I here prejudice I think of the movie pride and prejudice. Some prejudices we have in the world today are when people move here we can always form our own opinion before talking to them.

Jonah

2/19/2020 01:20:19 pm

One thing that first comes to mind when I hear the word prejudice is high school. Especially going to a new school. But hopefully prejudiced doesn’t last too long. Another example is politics towards the opposing parties or religion or race or gender. You name it. It’s everywhere because...some people.

Tyler

2/19/2020 01:21:42 pm

Definitely politics

Micah Tolman

2/19/2020 01:21:14 pm

When I think of the word prejudice I think of someone discriminating against a group of people. Many prejudices in our world are based off of looks, clothes, body-types, etc. I think that prejudice can be felt by many adults when they see a teenager on their phone because they always assume it’s a waste of time.

Janessa

2/19/2020 01:22:01 pm

Age-ism?

Micah

2/19/2020 01:23:40 pm

Exactly! I’ve never heard of ageism before. I thought you made it up, but I looked it up and it’s real.

Madeline

2/19/2020 01:22:31 pm

I think you are right.

Jonah

2/19/2020 01:23:21 pm

Yeah I didn’t think about the age factor.
