Summary and Rounding up of "Prejudice"

So after brainstorming and every means of understanding this "chim" word is done, i did a summary and concept map with my group:

1，Prejudice defines people being biased and judging others whom they do not know unfairly.

2，Prejudice is caused by the discrimination of people with different status and race. Prejudice causes misunderstanding among people, forming misconceptions of certain people, like the Europeans towards the ‘black people’, which lead to poor treatment of these people by the people who prejudiced against them. Prejudice leads to discrimination.

3，Prejudice may lead to racial tensions and even cause some undesirable events to happen such as civil wars, riots like the one in Singapore in the 1950s.

4，Prejudgment still occurs in current society, but it is not as serious during the 19th and early 20th century in Europe, possibly because there a clear distinction between people with higher status and commoners or with laws implemented like that in the USA against all the discrimination.

5，Examples of historical happenings and dictation of prejudice include speeches given by Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., and also books like ‘To Kill a Mocking Bird’. These examples have described the prejudgment in the society during their times.
