Prejudice

Martin Luther King Jr said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.” Prejudice is nothing but an opinion without evidence. It is disheartening when one is judged based on some preconceived ideas that are embedded in the human brains. These ideas are not proven but can cause enormous damage to the victim of prejudice. Human prefrontal cortex stores and expels the messages that are not properly aligned with the evidence.

The movie ‘the blind side’ is the perfect example to show how prejudice against stout people was damaging but also is a perfect example of going against the prejudice to be successful in sports despite stoutness. In this movie, the stout boy was bullied and told he is good for nothing, so he believed in it. But his stepmother makes him disbelieve so that he can be a famouSportsterer. There always a tendency to believe what others say about us even though it is not proven to be true. This believe of prejudice can stifle our growth and eventually might ruin our lives.

Prejudice is fueled by belief can ruin a person to the ruts. Prejudices are often transmitted for a specific agenda. A person might be subject to prejudice so that his agenda can be met. Conviction of a prejudice takes place for a wrong reason. In our society, there are prejudices against women, children, people of color, men, uneducated, sick, old people and so on. The prejudices must be treated as prejudices until they are proven to be true. Do not allow yourself to be pressed down by prejudices rather treat them as decorated gossips. Prejudices are almost always not true. They are detrimental to the growth of a person. They can also be fueled by bullying, cat-calling, gossips, bad-talking, back-biting, doctrines and propaganda. If you can’t prove it, shove it. In conclusion, if you are subject of prejudice, firstly, look for proofs and then only believe or disbelieve. We must allow ourselves to be suppressed by another person’s agenda. Opinions cannot be treated as truth unless they are proved to be true. Our memories of prejudices can be painful and ruin our lives, hence, it is significant to check our memories. On the other hand, we shall not believe and involve in prejudices rather let us be truthful.
