In what ways do I exclude?
How do I contribute to intolerance?
What are my blind spots?
We are all prejudiced because of the way we experience the world...
When we don't know we generally first think negatively.
The unknown, the different, is usually construed as negative...
Our values, beliefs, attitudes and world views are shaped in childhood.
Our individual sense of right and wrong is inextricably linked to our tolerance for difference.
We often interpret different as wrong based on our belief systems.
Prejudice is personal.
Acknowledging prejudices leads to greater self-knowledge.
Acknowledging prejudices allows us to listen with a new ear.
Acknowledging prejudices is the first step to managing them.
