Answer:

Prejudice is a prejudgment based on inadequate knowledge. Prejudice often relies on stereotypes. For instance, a person meeting a female child for the first time might assume she likes princesses or the color pink. Prejudice can be conscious or unconscious. A person doesn’t have to realize they’re being prejudiced to prejudge others.

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prejudice is a complex problem that has led to wars, enslavement, abuse, murder, and untold suffering. Working with a therapist can help people overcome their prejudices, understand the effects of prejudice on people they love, and develop strategies for dealing with the mental health effects of living in a world filled with prejudice

Although bias might be unintentional, it can have a domino effect. After all, prejudice was responsible for the Holocaust, slavery, and the Trail of Tears. Even in a smaller scale, it's everywhere in our life, and you might not even notice it. Exposure to discrimination is a key risk factor for poor mental health among individuals who are prejudiced. And prejudiced people are unable to make diverse connections and live in "their own bubble" of the world.
