The Importance of Education in Preventing Prejudice

Ignorance is a major problem and it is one of the biggest factors causing racial discrimination and sex discrimination. Fortunately, ignorance is a relatively easy problem to solve in general. The obvious answer here is more education, but it is not so. In order to eliminate racial discrimination by ignorance, discrimination by gender, and other prejudice, it is necessary to consider education from another viewpoint. In other words, to promote solidarity and development with people of all races and sexes.

Articles titled "prejudice prevention: a guide for counselors, educators, and parents" by Ponterotto, Utsey, and Pedersen (2006) give very useful insights. This document covers a range of topics to reduce prejudice, one is the role and responsibility of people with the ability to reduce prejudice; teachers, counselors, etc. This view is also shared by many other people who believe that the classroom is a place to see the early signs of prejudice and should reduce them. This will be a direct way of the teacher. Pate (1995) believes that teachers should instruct students to participate in anti - bias programs by reading useful books on subjects.

Prejudice is always the most important topic of social psychology, because it relates to socialization and formation of personality.

By studying the development of prejudice prejudice, the cause of prejudice can be traced back to socialization process. However, research on children is rare. Most of the studies on attitudes, stereotypes, prejudice are mostly investigation types. Therefore, the timing of the development of child prejudice from a psychological, social and cultural point of view is mature. As prejudice increases with the growth of personality and gradual learning process, the source of prejudice is in childhood.

These concepts are important, but the most influential topic is how prejudice and education overlap, or more precisely how prejudice and lack of education overlap (theme 1). In order to kill the Mockingbird, Lee explores how contaminated by the prejudice the reasonable ability of a normal rational person even in subconscious mind. People appearing in Lee's novels are hard to make a cruel effort, but in the southern part of the 1930s prejudice was not about growing obviously. Starting with the first paragraph of chapter 11, Harper Lee expressed the change. It said the scout "is very good for the second year, and it is out of date that tormenting Boo Radley is outdated." So, we knew that at least two years had passed soon. Atticus punishes Jim as a way to destroy the garden of Lady Dubos which is reflected in one of the theme of this book.
