The causes of prejudice could be attributed to the individual themselves and the environment they grew up in or live in. Although most people say that prejudice doesn’t exist like it used to anymore. I would disagree with that because although we are making a great step towards racial equality and racial acceptance in this nation. I think that prejudice still exists on the basic fact that everyone experiences it still throughout there lifetime. Some people experience it point blankly, while others experience it at a work place or other places not in there face but to the point where you know it’s happening. Another cause of prejudice is that some people learn it from a skinhead organization that may be part of. They may need to be prejudice to be part of it. And another cause could be that most people from the days when prejudice was a normal way of life could teach there kids and grand kids negative stereotypes to go off of different races on.
The effects of prejudice is that it could cause long term mental and physical damage to the victim. The effects of prejudice could be that the victim could commit suicide because of all the racial harm and slurs the person hears on a daily basis. Those are a few actions and effects the person could do from prejudice.
Overall I think that prejudice is something that shouldn’t exist. I feel that way because first of all its America that’s suppose to be the land of freedom and that prejudice should be against the law. That’s all I basically feel about the issue.
