Racial prejudiceWhat is prejudice?- set of learned beliefs and values ​​that lead a person to be prejudiced against other members of other groups.- Prejudices are convenient(bequem,brauchbar, passend) and inaccurate.- ---> people are not seen as individuals, prejudiced people label other people in special groups: prejudice is mainly based on inaccurate information about people. Prejudice originates from three common parts (these parts constitute a prejudicial belief): 1. Generalizations: something very broad and simple statement about a group of people - here is perhaps an appropriate point to provide an example: "All Catholics " or when the word "they" has a strong meaning - the key words for generalizations are "all" and "they" --- >even generalizations are very imprecise, because we are not justified in saying that all members of this group or race share the same characteristic traits.G. they are unfair descriptions of people and are mostly based on very incomplete information. Having met a member of a different group with extraordinary behavior, we often assume that all members of this group exhibit the same extraordinary behavior. 2. Exaggerated stereotypes, often negative image of a particular group of people: A stereotype often contains a grain of truth, but this grain of truth is combined with an exaggerated and undue image of this group. Ethnocentrism: there are two types of prejudice: 1. prejudice against all outsiders --> your group is the only right and appropriate one, all other groups are excluded, other groups are described as strange and inferior. 2. prejudice against specific groups---->you are able to cope with some other groups,but you disapprove of a special group of their religion-->that's why you have a prejudice against this particular group. But this kind of prejudice does not express that your religion is the best and that all other religions are worse than yours. You are just prejudiced against this particular religion.---->prejudice against all other groups is called ethnocentricityPrejudice and discriminationDiscrimination:-When speaking of discrimination against a special group we mean the combination of prejudice with actions- In this sense the word "discriminating " means that we treat a group in a negative way. - the effect of discrimination against people: loss in terms of money, housing, education - the forms of discrimination: 1. verbal abuse (anti-locution) - - -> through specific terms --->undermines their feeling of trust such as "I am not wanted in this society"2. Discrimination in employment--->Refusal of work to a group-->disadvantage in terms of work, income, personal decline.3. Attack on property-->destruction of cars-->Expulsion due to lack of physical security 4.Physical attack---->Attacks on group members; stabbing; deaths ---> further lack of security; anger; frustration; formation of self-defense groups5. Genocide ---> mass murder of all ---> extermination of entire families and cultural groups Racial prejudice or racism, always aimed at special groups, is based on the belief that
