Interpersonal
Conduct an interview with a friend(Not from HCI)or a family member. Find out their point of view on prejudice and discrimination. Either record the interview or write out the interview transcript.
I decided to interview my sister, Charmaine. This is a transcript of the interview.
Me: What do you think prejudice is about?
Charmaine: Prejudice is a mindset or a belief that is factually wrong of a certain person.
Me: Could you state some examples of prejudice?
Charmaine: Guys who like colours such as pink or purple are thought to be gays. People who are less sociable and less active in participation in class discussions are also labeled as "emo" or anti-social.
Me: How do you view discrimination?
Charmaine: Discrimination would be unfair or unequal treatment towards a group of people or a particular person.
Me: Could you state some examples of discrimination?
Charmaine: An example of discrimination would be racial discrimination. The whites in America discriminated against the blacks a few decades ago. The Whites had special privileges and the blacks were deprived of education, housing and many others that were given to the whites.
Me: Lastly, what do you think is the difference between prejudice and discrimination?
Charmaine: Prejudice is a thought, a mindset and an opinion, whereas discrimination is an act of unfair treatment due to prejudice
