Prejudice and Discrimination: Understanding the Definitions

Prejudice is an irrational or unjustifiable negative feeling towards persons from another social group. Discrimination is the inappropriate treatment of people based on an actual or perceived aspect of their identity. However, it is important to consider the original definition of prejudice, which involves forming judgments or opinions before the facts are known. It is crucial to evaluate whether the treatment or judgment is justified based on accurate information.
