Part 1
"Like minds think alike" is an old adage describing how people with similar values and beliefs may respond in a similar fashion in a given circumstance. In a positive way, individuals with similar backgrounds and interests tend to be attracted to each other more than individuals with dissimilar backgrounds and interests. However, there is also a negative side to this as well. There are several social sources of prejudice such as social dominance orientation, ethnocentric behavior, and authoritarian personalities.
• Describe the basis behind prejudice and discrimination. Explain ways in which these issues can be reduced? Explain how the common reasons for forming relationships can sometimes become negative aspects of prejudice and discrimination.
• Describe each of the social sources of prejudice thinking. Support your answer with relevant examples. Explain which of the three sources you consider to be the most effective in breeding prejudices.
Justify your answers with appropriate reasoning and research from your text and course readings. Comment on the postings of at least two peers and provide an analysis of each peer's postings while also suggesting specific additions or clarifications for improving the discussion question response.
Part 2
Your social identity is based on the group or groups you belong to. Your sense of community and national pride is based on your need to be identified positively with a specific group. You are also identified by your roles in the society, such as job title or career field. For instance, if Sarah introduces herself as a physician, you would probably have a preconceived notion (stereotype) of who she is based on her being a physician.
• Describe what is meant by social identity.
• Explain how social identity may interfere or promote your stereotypic views about people. Describe the negative aspects of social identity
Justify your answers with appropriate reasoning and research from your text and course readings.
