Answer 1

Natalie's opinions demonstrate prejudice, which is a negative attitude towards individuals solely based on their group membership, without personally knowing them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalie's opinions can be BEST classified as demonstrating prejudice. Prejudice refers to a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one's membership in a particular social group, without knowing them personally. This is different from discrimination, which involves actions based on prejudiced attitudes, and racism, which specifically refers to the belief in the superiority or inferiority of certain racial groups. In this case, Natalie has formed a prejudiced opinion against all French people based on a negative experience with one individual. Assimilation is unrelated as it involves adapting to a different culture or group, not forming negative opinions about them.

Answer 2

Natalie's opinions can be BEST classified as с. She is demonstrating prejudice.

What is prejudice?

Prejudice is the act of holding preconceived opinions about a person or group of people and often, the opinions are not based on experiences but on the generalizations we make of them. This is the case with Natalie who has no real basis for hating French people. Her prejudice leads her to believe that all French people are rude.

This view is preconceived and plays out because she originally hated all French people. So, the word that best describes Natalie's feelings is prejudice. This is a vice that must be avoided.
