“Causes and Effects of Prejudice”

Prejudice, discrimination, and racism are three words that all mean the same thing and not in a good way. Prejudice goes all the way back to many years ago. The fact that people thinking that they are better than someone else just because something about that person is different. Prejudice is caused by more than one thing. It can be caused by one’s own opinion towards other who is different from them, or it can be caused by the influences that he or she has in their lives.
A form of a person being prejudice is because a person is a different race from another person. Some people feel as though they are better than a particular person or group because they feel as though they came from a better place from them. I feel people who feel this way are completely wrong because nobody in this world is better than anyone, we all should feel like we all are equal because we all are. People feeling this way may be caused by their own mind set, or others such as their parents, friends ect might have put those terrible thoughts about other people in their heads.
Prejudice come in many ways from people around the world, age race, religion etc, which I feel should be stopped because this can really hurt someone’s feelings. I personally have been discriminated against and so have a lot of people I know and this shows their ignorance of these people. The effects of prejudice can cause someone to feel sad and hurt which isn't a good feeling. I want people to know that we all are they same and the ignorant people who are prejudice should really change their mindset because being prejudice against certain people is such an ugly quality to have.
