When you stop judging and start listening and inquiring, you really get to know someone.

For example, people in urban areas are different from people living in the countryside simply because they live in different environments.

Avoid justifying prejudice when meeting other people. Prejudice can occur when ideas are justified by stigma or prejudice. [13] X Research Sources This phenomenon occurs due to prejudices that are sometimes accepted by society. We are all familiar with many good and bad stereotypes. Some examples are that blondes are stupid, Blacks are physically strong, Asians are smart, Mexicans work hard, etc. Some stereotypes sound nice, but they are. can become negative due to prejudice. If you think that a certain group of people are the same, you will judge them subjectively if they do not meet your standards and lead to discrimination.

For example, if your friends say, “All Asians are not skilled at driving.” This is clearly negative bias, and can cause bias if the person really believes this to be the case. You can transform your friend’s bias by subtly confronting him and saying, “This is a bad bias. You need to consider many different cultures and traditions.”

Expect positive or neutral results. If you’ve experienced prejudice or discrimination in the past, it’s no wonder you’re afraid to experience it again. However, expecting others to impose prejudice, or to think that people will act a certain way, can be extremely stressful. [19] X Trusted Source PubMed Central Go to Source
