Re: Prejudice
In my Interpersonal Communication class I took when I first entered college, the professor stressed the importance of this for all of his student: Prejudice is everywhere, everyone is prejudice about something. He stressed that prejudice is not a bad thing, but basing the decisions you make on those prejudices you have, or discrimination, is a bad thing. You can think that gay people are wrong to hold hands in public but it would still be wrong to arrest them for it.
In short, prejudice is normal in life, but as long as we use tolerance and don't discriminate against others everyone can get along.
