What are the different types of prejudice? How many?

I think it is endless. In a country where all the people are the same race there is predjudice. Look at the treatment of women in Africa by African men. Look at the killing in Northern Ireland, the past wars between Native American tribes, the 20 million Russians killed under Stalin's rule, and the killing of Islamics in Iraq by other sects of the same religion. Some people, many people, (not all), just naturally look for a way to put other people down. I have seen a lot of self hate in my own race:(Gang wars in our inner cities). I have had hispanics tell me that other hispanics discriminate against them. I have seen white people put down other white people based on what state they came from. And of course there is the unfair way one whole race is placed in a "box" based on what some people of that race did or how they are portrayed on TV. I pretty much ignore people who are prejudice. I am guilty of some "pre judging" of people that I do not even know as well. I guess that means I am a bit racist too at times. Humans are ALL infected with sin since the time of Adam and Eve.

1. LESS PREJUDISM\n2. LESS SELFISHNESS/SELF-CENTEREDNESS\n3. Jesus\n\n1. If people were less prejudice, they wouldn't turn down people for jobs that could change the world, or shun people that might have been their best friend. More countries would get along, level of social class and financial level in society wouldn't affect people.\n\n2. If people were less selfcentered, no one would have to worry about theirself because everyone else would be looking out for them. With everyone you know helping take care of you, you wouldn't miss a beat in life. You would have more friends and a more successful life.\n\n3. If people had Jesus, they not only would treat everyone right, share, be kind, live long, be happy and be in touch with God, but they would have eternal life, making this world a little more bearable until Jesus comes back for his people.

In a pure sense, prejudice is healthy and helpful to survival, just as fear is.  It is utterly impossible to not be prejudiced...if one ate something that gave them violent illness, say eggs, then they would probably pre-judge all dishes that contained eggs as bad for them.  If one had been bitten by a snake and got sick, they would be fearful of most if not all snakes.  Survival.  It is important to note that this vital survival characteristic of prejudice, like all emotionally oriented actions, can be warped and distorted into unhealthy views.\n &#92;\nWhen we take prejudice or fear to extremes and warp them, that's where we get into problems...being prejudiced against thinking/feeling things like people based solely on where they come from, who they vote for, etc.   This is where a functional and rational person needs to draw the line...prejudice (and fear) must not be used blindly, but tempered by rational thought and objectivity.\n\nSo I am pre-judiced...against wasps, cliff edges, boiling water, and so forth...this saves me from pain or death.  But I strive not to be prejudiced against people I meet...I reserve to judge them after talking/observing/learning about them....not before (pre).

There are many causes of prejudice. The first cause is realistic group conflict. This of course is prejudice usually based off a form of competition, an example of this, is some Americans arguement for being bigoted against feigners. "They took our jobs!" A case was done that displayed this, it was done in the 1950s by Dr. Sherif, calling it Robber's Cave. \nAnother cause of prejudice is maintaing social identity. This comes from Tajfel and Turners Social Identity Theory. They claimed that our personal identities were based of our social identities and to which group we belong to, and while we are in a comfortable group we dont want that to change. An ideal example of this is a person from a miniority moving into an area of "white breed society". The majority fears change and fights to keep a status quo.\n\n                                                                                            The third is natural tendencies in perceiving people in groups. This is based of a preference for the members of our group and ideas about those outside our own circle. That guys got a bandana on his head, hes a gang member. Some of these evaluations of those outside our group can be extreme to a point of insanity.\n \nAnother reason, and possbily the most common is overgeneralization. If one Mexican-American parks his car on his lawn, all most, or if one Afro-American is seen eatting KFC, they all most like it. It is the law of small numbers, while it is the most common, it is less likely in cities where there is a higher minority percentage.\n\nYet another reason is selective perceptions and memory. This is remembering something that is skewed to rationalize a distrust or biased.\n \nAnother is personal desire for authoritative power. It is quite easy to achieve in your own mind such power if you feel you can keep a people down.\n\nThe last is societal causes and a desire to conform to social norms, this explains the reason why blantant prejudice is more evident in some areas then others.\n\nThis is all factual data right from a college text, if you absolutely desire hard numbers email me and Ill see what I can do.\n\nWell this has been fine, and I know I only answered half the question but its only two points.

The distrust or fear of those who are different is part of the human condition.Most of us have been guilty at some stage to some degree. By recognising we have the potential to be prejudiced and /or biased in our thoughts and deeds we can at least be aware and at least try to to eduucate and nurture ourselves and our children out of something that has been inherent for thousands of years.

I'm not sure that this can be determined, at least world wide.  There are historical types as well as current popular types.\nwestern or cowboy, jazz, symphony, classical, chamber, indigenous North American, ballad, spiritual, church hymn, children, early rock-and-roll, marches, band, show tunes, fife and drum, soul, rhapsody, instrumentals, jingles and on

prejudice- jerks. It means somebody who judges someone else without really knowing them. Like if your gay and somebody calls you a fag*** they are predjudice about homosexuals. . . etc

Everyone has their prejudices, but some people are more likely to act on them than others are.  I try to judge the individual, but I am just as guilty as anyone else of having my stereotypes.  I'm sure others feel the same way about me in that regard.  I guess the best rules of thumb that I use in dealing with my personal prejudices is to keep in mind that one person, or a few people, demonstrating negative traits isn't representative of the whole group that he or she belongs to, and you have to be willing to look at the positive traits demonstrated by others in the group.

Too many, but sometimes it's hard not to make an instant judgement.  It's scary how wrong we can be though!\n\nThe film CRASH is quite an eye-opener on the subject of first impressions.

Some people don't like anyone who is different than they are in any way.  This includes race, religion, sexual preference, national origin, etc.\n\nSome people fear what they don't understand.\n\nSome people come from a family where prejudice has been handed down from generation to generation.  Unfortunately, they don't even understand why they don't like something.\n\nSOMEDAY I hope we can all learn to understand and accept each other...

Of Course.  For example, you can prefer to date certain people, but still be friends with people you wouldn't date.  Attraction is an exception, b/c we are not all attracted to the same thing.  \n\nPreference and prejudice are similar but at the same time very different.  Preferring one thing does not completely close the door to the other.  When one totally closes the door and writes someone off without knowledge or history that is prejudice, b/c no chance was given.  But with history and knowledge comes preference.\n\nWhat one must be careful with is drawing preference from the experiences of others, not that it can't be done, but that will lead to stereotypes and unjust assumptions.
