What is
PREJUDICE?
"Prejudice" comes from the
Latin prejudicium (injustice)
and praeiudicium (prior
judgment), which referred to
judicial examination before
trial.
 Prejudice
A judgment formed by an individual who is based on
thoughts that are premature and are not based on
thorough study or research about a group of people or
individuals.

It can be termed as one of the negative factors that are

presiding in our societies and they have been there for a
very long time now.

It is a set of thoughts which are based upon the emotions

of a specific person. These feelings might include
hatred, fear and insecurity from any person.
 Prejudice

For example, a person might have a lot of

preconceived ideas about someone who is
Christian, Muslim, or Jewish and will allow those
judgments to affect the way they view and treat
those people. The same can be true for people
who are Black, White, or Asian

BETWEEN BIAS AND PREJUDICE?
Bias refers to a thought of an individual or a group
which is leaning towards an area of life such as
politics, society, religion or economics. Prejudice
is the process of making decision or judging
something with a premature mind and making
your own facts instead of knowing the real truth
about a person or a thing.
