Which would be more socially significant: the elimination of prejudice or the elimination of discrimination? Explain.
Answer.
Prejudice, Discrimination,Racism, all are social evils that slowly-slowly degrading social values and denting humanity.They are severe cause of intolerance in society.
Prejudice is the stereotype thinking against someone who belongs to particular group and consider that individual bears same characters and skills as their group members are.
Discrimination is the policy of separating and treating someone unequally and partially.In discrimination.In discrimination individual is discriminated by group of people on the basis of caste, colour, gender.
Prejudice is more severe than discrimination.Its elimination is more socialially significant than removing discrimination.Prejudice itself covers discrimination in its definition and activities.For example if any person is prejudice on the basis of characters and skills of his belonging group, discrimination also happens with him.Individual is separated from society.People misbehave with him which is directly a discriminated move.
So removing prejudice is more significant than removing discrimination.
