Reflections- Lesson on Prejudice, Discrimination & Stereotypes

I felt that the lesson on Prejudice, Discrimination & Stereotypes was very interesting. During this lesson, I learnt many new things such as what Prejudice meant, the unreasonable belief or group of people, the definition and the differences between Prejudice and Discrimination and Stereotypes. I also learnt when and where Prejudice is used and that Discrimination can be found in our everyday life, whether we know it or not, such as people being teased for being obese, tanned people being referred as Indians/ Africans.
There are also many types of Discrimination, such as gender, nationality, social and racial. For Stereotypes, many people feel that students in Hwa Chong are nerds because they study hard for their examinations and wear glasses. I felt that this lesson was thoroughly interesting and fun as before this lesson, I did not understand the meaning of Prejudice, Discrimination and Stereotypes. However after the lesson, I could even differenciate between Prejudice, Discrimination and Stereotypes.
