Homework for Feb 6th and 7th

Watch the first 10 mins of the video we watched in class.  While watching it, think about the following questions:

• If the color of someones eyes makes no difference as to how intelligent or kind they are, then why do we think that the color of their skin does?  Where do these prejudices come from?  What kinds of things can we do to change them?
• What kinds of prejudices do you have?  Where do they come from?
• Why does prejudice and discrimination often lead to violence?

Here is the link to the video:
