Recall a time that you witnessed someone (a friend, family member or even stranger) engage in prejudice resulting in discrimination. This can even include yourself in terms of being on the receiving end or catching yourself engaging in stereotyping leading to discriminatory actions. Specifically describe who was being targeted, what the stereotype was (i.e., ageism, sexism, racism, etc.), and how discrimination was evident (how was the person of that group treated differently because of the stereotype). Then, clearly identify the social, emotional, and/or cognitive root involved in the prejudice you observed, providing examples for at least one type and clearly labeling (i.e., the cognitive root of prejudice in this situation was...). In your opinion, how does culture contribute to prejudice and discrimination? Explain using concepts from the Social Psychology chapter, even if they don't apply to your specific example.
