Prejudice and Ideology

The first input for prejudice and ideology was very educational. I learned the difference between being prejudice and discrimination as before I could have easily gotten them confused with one another and was able to relate it to society and lifestyle. I learned that someone can be prejudiced towards a certain group but not discriminate against them. In the tutorial, I thought it was good how we thought of historical examples and linked them to the world today.

I learned that there are 5 agents which influence prejudice and ideology. These are Media, family, peers, education and technology. I know that they can influence and have an impact on our thoughts about certain subjects and areas. Answering questions about this during the tutorial helped me to further understand the meaning of prejudice and ideology.

One thing that I am not fully confident on is secularisation, however I will engage in further reading to deepen my understanding.
