Kilaya kaw baja sa ako? Diin
man ta magkaiban? You have an opinion about me?
What is the basis of that? Are you employing the mindset of a scientific
researcher when one must have an unbiased set of mindset towards my person?
What
is your background? You see, there are instances when your upbringing might be
the cause of your prejudice. You might be raised with a set of parents who are
overly critical of your movements. When parents fail to affirm the young
children, they will become adults with fragile security issues.
You
see me as strict? Why? We do not have prior experiences together. You gauge
your labels from people you do not know. You mean you do not trust your own
observations and assessments? This is a manifestation of poor self-confidence!
Use your own criteria. Embrace the common good not just your comfortable
concepts of living.
The
problem with prejudice is that it is rooted in ignorance. Ignorant persons
ignore the facts. They directly create an opinion towards others without
understanding the basic facts. Prejudice is a baseless and often negative
preconception or attitude toward members of a group. Prejudice can have a
strong influence on how people behave and interact with others, particularly
with those who are different from them, even unconsciously or without the
person realizing they are under the influence of their internalized prejudices.
Is
it because I work harder than you? Or are you threatened by my silence and
being different?
Cherry
(2020) mentions that the common features of prejudice include negative
feelings, stereotyped beliefs, and a tendency to discriminate against members
of a group. In society, we often see prejudices toward a group based on race,
sex, religion, culture, and more. While specific definitions of prejudice given
by social scientists often differ, most agree that it involves prejudgments
that are usually negative about individuals and members of a group.
So
please, do not paint something bad against me. You do not know me. Check on
yourself. Maybe you are the problem, not me.
