Deltic Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 as it says on the tin is it ok to be prejudiced against someone for there personality or personality's our kid is general a nice guy until roused knowing someone is like that sometimes is it ok to treat him any differently ? just a thought . That doesn't sound like prejudice. Definitions of prejudice refer to preconceptions or unreasonable attitudes. I don't think modifying your behavior based on experience of someone's personality is prejudice, in fact most people do that all the time with people they know. Just how does his personality change when roused?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 It's associated with the word 'discrimination'. To discriminate is not itself wrong. When selecting goods in a shop, or preferring one maker's to another's, one discriminates. When one chooses a person with whom to marry or cohabit, one discriminates BUT When one disadvantages a person against another person on irrelevant grounds, one unfairly discriminates. That's "prejudice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelle Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Arguably, an individual can conciously control and modify his/her behaviour, unlike other attributes which discrimination is based upon. For example, gender, sexuality, race, ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking surely we want to be allowed to discriminate based on a persons ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
