Assignment Takeaway 3.
Prejudice.
From this assignment, I learned about prejudice. The way people feel toward social groups and discrimination. I also learned about how Michael Richard reacted toward a social group. This assignment applied to an earlier topic in this course “Attitude formation : How attitudes develop”. These two topics are related in such a way that they are both about human behavior.
The assignment was personally relevant to me because prejudice must not be tolerated and those who prejudice sometimes even do not know they are prejudicing. For example, when Michael Richard apologized for his actions, he claimed he did not prejudice but rather had an emotional outburst.
