Why do people develop prejudice against others

Meta AI: Prejudice against others can arise from a complex mix of factors, including:

1. Social and cultural conditioning: People may learn prejudiced attitudes and beliefs from their family, community, or culture.
2. Lack of exposure and understanding: Limited interaction with people from different backgrounds can lead to misconceptions and stereotypes.
3. Fear and insecurity: Feeling threatened by changes in society, economic instability, or perceived competition for resources can fuel prejudice.
4. Cognitive biases: Humans tend to categorize people into groups, leading to an "us versus them" mentality and potential discrimination.
5. Historical and systemic factors: Prejudice can be perpetuated by institutional and structural factors, such as discriminatory laws, policies, and practices.
6. Individual experiences and trauma: Negative personal experiences or trauma can shape one's perceptions and attitudes towards certain groups.
7. Social identity theory: People may adopt prejudiced views to maintain a positive self-image and group affiliation.

It's important to recognize that prejudice is a learned behavior and can be unlearned through education, empathy, and exposure to diverse perspectives.

Prejudice affects both the rich and the poor. When I was a young PME starting out on my career, I lived in a HDB flat and relied on public transport, certain people looked down on me. Now that I am approaching my mid-50s, own 2 private properties and 2 luxury cars, some of my acquaintances envy or even hate me.
