prej·u·dice () (pr j -d s)n.
An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.
A preconceived preference or idea.
The act or state of holding unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions.
Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular group, race, or religion.
Detriment or injury caused to a person by the preconceived, unfavorable conviction of another or others.
I see people everyday and I think about them and I wondered am I being prejudice or not.
It is like there is some sort idea that we are not meant to be but I think we all are and that it inevitably impossible that we can’t not be prejudice. Also I think that it is within human right that it is a part of who we are.
Recently on t.v. there has been program on ‘channel 4’ called “prejudice” the idea for the show is that five people judge five people and they decide who should win £10,000 on facts and a interview all done within the parameters of the show. I think it is a slightly unfair way to do it but it is certainly interesting to see how people react and what sort of judgements people make.
I think what I am desperately seeking is that I am unknown to me what I want and how I want to use it and in life I have to make judgements to get there but they all have to be based on something.
The thing I find bad about myself is I walk somewhere and I will look at people and see their faces thinking that I have may have seen that face before but I haven’t. I look at people or the things people do and wonder why they go about it in that way. I sometimes believe that purely from looking at people I can determine who they are and what they are, now I know this is prejudice but how can it be prejudice if know one ever tells me that I am prejudice. But for the most part this is how I think or work.
Some work I think I may do is to take some pictures that society classes and put it up as some work but have questions written as like “is this man old?” and then have a picture where society thinks they probably live and have a question “is this where he lives?” and then show a picture that society thinks probably dictates his past and have a question like “is this his past?” and do several different versions with several different people. I might do it. – 27th Jan
