Prejudice

Prejudice Prejudice Prejudice has been around a long time and there are no signs of it ending anytime soon. Prejudice goes very far back in history and there is no known document of where prejudice stemmed from. Prejudice is positive or negative attitude towards a person or a group of people who are part of any other group. I have seen different kinds of prejudice, and I believe that people choose to be prejudice by not educating themselves to be otherwise, which also can be referred to as ignorance. “Mom, why is the Mexican not mowing our lawn today'” this could be a commonly heard question in Texas. Employment opportunities are sparse for Mexican immigrants, but the landscaping business offers many jobs, so most of the employees are of Mexican race. Many people believe that this is all the Mexicans can do and that this job is all they do around the world. That is a role expectation because that is all one may be aware of. In Vincent Parrillo’s essay Causes of Prejudice he points out that, “knowing of no alternative conceptions of the world, the child usually accepts these concepts without questioning” (557).
