1. Prejudice- I learned that prejudice is something that we humans do in order to categorize our world around us. We have to learn how to curb it though because it can easily turn into something that seriously affects our world, even simple little thoughts like “choosy moms chose Jif!” Prejudice doesn’t necessarily mean negative attitude.
2. Stereotyping- This is a oversimplified belief about someone/something. Stereotyping seems to overlap with prejudice but both have their different meanings. Neutral attitudes can help overcome prejudice and stereotyping.

10. Why we categorize- it is a natural thing, and it’s easy for our brains but it can be very harmful and can make people miss out on a better quality of life if they avoid people because of how that person perceives the target. Again, neutral attitudes seem to help override the initial urge and/or actual stereotyping. Learning everything is a huge mental task, but being aware is the first
