What are your views on prejudice and discrimination? That is the question i asked my mother.
She said: "Every person has different upbringing and different values are imbued in them. They have different personalities and therefore there will always be prejudices against certain other people. This prejudice is due to the upbringing of the different kinds of people, which is very individual based. However, there is also society prejudice. A certain group of people may have prejudices against other groups of people. When you are prejudiced it will affect ways you look at things, which may cause you to throw unfounded judgements even before you know the whole story. As long as you do not do anything to reinforce the prejudice it is okay. However, discrimination is a very bad thing. Doing things against people you do not like is very unfair towards them. You should always be fair and not let your prejudice blind you and make u do something which will turn into discrimination."
Sounds so professional right?
Okay to end my interview, i conclude that the root of the problem is the prejudices which then lead to discrimination which cause stuff like the American Civil War and The Holocaust. We should not let our prejudices get the better of us and discriminate against people. Thank you
