Prejudice is usually a hostile or negative attitude towards a distinguishing group of people based solely on their membership in that group.
Discrimination
Discrimination is the unjustified, negative or harmful action towards a member or a group simply because of his or her membership in that group.
Stereotype
Stereotyping in the generalisation about a group of people in which identical characteristics are assigned to virtually all members of the group, regardless of actual variation amongst other members.
Prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping are three major flaws within society, they segregate individuals based on their nationality, ethnicity, gender, disability, gender preference,religion and even occupation. Why do we feel the need to make others feel different, unwanted and worthless? We are all human, and we are all equal, therefore we should all be respected. I believe people should try and work towards reducing the amount of prejudice thoughts, discriminative acts and stereotyping others and hopefully society will become a safer, more pleasant community for all.
