TY - ADVS ED - Cambridge Educational TI - Overcoming prejudice T2 - Combating conflict with character PY - 2011/// CY - London PB - Cambridge Educational KW - Prejudices KW - Prevention KW - Toleration N2 - Offering a practical definition of prejudice, the video explores its basis in ignorance and fear of outsiders, the qualities it most frequently targets (race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, physique, social class, and political beliefs) as well as its principal results--namely, discrimination, racism, and oppression. The program focuses in a teen-friendly way on prejudice in American society, with discussions of the'melting pot' concept; how such diversity, while unquestionably desirable, carries with it the potential for racial, ethnic, and cultural conflict; and how individuals, communities, and our nation can benefit from more dialog between cultures, religions, races, and other demographic groups ER -
