How to use "Prejudice" in context?
Prejudice is defined as a strong dislike, opposition, or hatred of someone or something based on the person's race, religion, nationality, gender, or disability. It is a learned behavior that can develop at any point in someone's life and can be harmful to both the individual and the group discrimination can result in a decreased quality of life, social isolation, and even physical harm. In the United States, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was intended to combat discrimination based on race, religion, gender, and national origin.
