Part II

Write a 150- to 250-word response to each of the following questions:

• How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping?

Discrimination is different from prejudice and stereotyping by how being prejudice and stereotyping are negative feelings or thoughts towards a different race. When you discriminate you are acting on those negative feelings or thoughts. If you do not like someone because of the racial or ethnic minority group then you are being prejudice but if you deny them opportunities because of those reasons then you are discriminating. If you think that all people in a certain racial or ethnic group are lazy then that is stereotyping but if you deny them a job just on those facts without letting that person prove to you that he or she is not then that is discriminating.
