In my english class, we are discussing about the topic of Prejudice. Is there any solution to end Prejudice?

globally, no. there is no way to end prejudice in the entire world. however, on a smaller, individual level we can end prejudice through education. if people were better educated about world history and other cultures, we would be more understanding of each other.

Well think of it this way.  Do what you would want someone to do for you if the roles were reversed.  Racism is still alive and well and the only way to put an end to it is to expose those ignorant people who are still active participants.  I would expose her.  You have to stand up for something or you will fall for anything.

Opt out of racism.\nNo one can challenge you.

"Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated." -- ML King, Jr.\n\nIt is natural for people to relate to those of like culture first, before learning about others who are different.  People tend to like people they can relate to and share common interests.  They tend to fear or avoid people they don't understand, especially those who they assume don't like them either.\n\nCommon social stereotypes and mutual misperceptions of people keep them divided in groups along racial, religious, or other cultural lines.  As long as people remain separated from each other, they cannot learn from each other to overcome these biases.  The avoidance or mistrust of one group by another is mutual.\n\nIf you want to overcome these separations between groups, all you can do is start with yourself and the people around you.  Only by encouraging cross-interaction and honest sharing and communication can you help to overcome mistrust or misperceptions, or even hard feelings from racial conflicts of the past that deepen these biases.\n\nFor hints on how to keep a positive peaceful dialogue when discussing diverse perspectives, situations or issues, please see "Guidelines for Sharing" by the "Center for the Healing of Racism" http://www.houstonprogressive.org/CHRguide.html

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Discrimination is an action based on one's racist beliefs. Prejudice is a preconceived notion held about another race. I'm sorry you are being affected adversely because you are different. I share your pain and anger. The best you can do is to rise above the ignorance and culture, educate yourself, and set the example for others to follow.

Hatred and prejudice.

Everyone in the world have prejudices. When you tell your kids not to talk to strangers that is a prejudice. When companies hire people with certain educational backgrounds that is prejudice. Without prejudices we cannot survive in this world. But prejudices based on race, ethnicity, sexuality etc. is bad and should not be practiced. So yes, I would say I have a healthy amount of prejudice.

Some people already do, you know.  There are people who are able to set aside prejudice, at least on a person-by-person basis.  \n\nUnfortunately, race, religion, and lifestyle often encompass pretty radical behaviors that can't fail to separate and divide people. One can make the case that some of the more extreme behaviors are designed to alienate others.  As well, extremely differing lifestyles are the result of differing economies, which are hugely disparate around the world.  \n\nSo, I guess, when everybody can put aside their extremism, whatever its origins, we'll be able to find more common ground with one another.  \n\nWe're entering into an era of global interaction on an individual level.   English, the 'language of commerce' like it or not, looks to be becoming the language of the global community.  The Internet already provides us with the method, all we have to do is be able to speak the same language enough to start communicating.   If we find we all have more in common than we do dividing us, average people may be able to succeed where heads of state have failed, in making peace.  Eventually.

I think prejudice continues for 2 reasons:  1, sometimes people's families are prejudiced and so kids grow up believing what their parents have taught them - and 2, when people aren't educated, they think their prejudices are truth.\nKids can help by being a good example - actions speak louder than words - and by speaking up.  if someone says a racist name or tells a prejudiced joke, let them know you won't tolerate it.  kids can teach other kids and that will save the world!

I think as another person has said u should talk to your teacher if u feel that he has some prejudice against u ,(after the class, and not infront of others, then the teacher will not feel threatened). Even if we think that he does not have a problem against u , u seem to feel that he has and that is not good, 'cos u got to survive a year with him.\nAnother thing is that if u dont want to talk to him try to look at what he says in his perspective and not take what he says personally but as constructive ceiticism.\nAlso we tend to look at our pearents and teachers as perfect people, which sadly is not the case, they too are human and have lot of faults. If u can accept that ,it wil make u feel better and not so bad next time he says something to u!ok?

First step: If you can not understand one another: than try. Without ignorance or without discrimination. I think tolerance is key.\n\nSecond step: start viewing each other as human beings above all. I do not judge you. Don't judge me.  I respect you for your beliefs because you have the right to follow whatever path you want.  Respect me. I respect you.  \n\nThen maybe we can all just get along.  (god willing)

I don't think you can avoid racism because racism is a symptom of humanity.  We are always trying to figure out how to make ourselves better in our own minds and racism is an easy out.  I do however think that the only cure for it is the browning of the world.  I think as our races and cultures continue to mix these feeling will start to go away.  We have made tremendous progress over where we were 30 years ago, that is for sure.  It is hard for us to even conceive of a society where blacks ride at the back of the bus or drink from a different fountain.  \n\nRacism goes different directions and as a white man I have been the victim of the same by black people. It always hurts.  I live in the South now where it is visible.  In a sense it is almost better because you know where it is and you can avoid it.  There will always be nasty people in the world and it is up to people like us to look beyond them and find the commonality that we share.  Skin color really means nothing, it is what is in our hearts and minds that matters.

People are still racist. They may say they're not, but they're lying. Racism, sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia other prejudices take time and effort to eliminate. It seems like with every landmark achieved, we stop working on eliminating prejudice. But it's continuous, intergenerational struggle. \nIt's a mistake to think that racism should just magically disappear just because it's 2006. It takes work.

By eliminating whites. White people have defined themselves based on recessive characteristics, and to protect these recessive traits they must be racist. Mixing is their ultimate defeat. So the only way to end racism is to get rid of whites, be it by mixing or by war.\n\nNow that some non-white countries are getting modern technology, perhaps the day when we can engineer a virus to kill all whites and exclusively whites is not too far ahead. After all, they're trying to do just that to the rest of us.\n\nUltimately, and because of their characteristic as defined by recessiveness, whites are condemned to extinction. We can help the process, though.

Excellent question and I think the answer is that they are teaching their children what they were taught.\n\nWe have to break this vicious cycle. I was raised in a far right religious home where being prejudice was the norm. Sad, but true. It took me years to break that from my mind and sometimes I still struggle with it.
