Treating something or some one as good, and some others as bad without an immediate judgement is called 'prejudice'. This works on the basis of our preconceived notions and occurs at sub-conscious level of our mind because involvement of conscious mind means a current judgement process through thinking, hence no prejudice. A prejudice in the mind of a person with no action against or in favor does not become visible for other persons. Such a dormant prejudice remains alive and raises its head on finding a congenial opportunity.
It is often understood to get developed due to our social links and education, hence is intuitive. Since, only humans have social links and education, prejudice is considered to be existing only in humans. But recent psychological studies reveal that it is present even in animals establishing a notion that prejudices are genetic or instinctive. Color choices of children support this derivation of psychological studies.
An intuitive attribute continued for many generations may have the prospects of becoming genetic or instinctive. Existence of curiosity in animals and human infants prove this point. Social links, particularly those touching us emotionally as with parents, are the greatest causes of creating and developing prejudices. ..
Sacraments brought in from parents, other family members and close social links, produce highly deep-rooted prejudices which are rarely uprooted in a lifetime. This phenomenon is used by most of the religions to spread their words and keep alive in the minds of people. Thus, following a religion invariably means opposing other religions due to this deep-rooted prejudice.
An affiliation with a group, be it family, caste, race, community, religion, political party, etc. often produces prejudices against other competitive groups. It is natural because the affiliation itself makes the mind to support the group at the cost of opposing other competing groups.
A prejudice is always double-edged - favoring some while disfavoring some others. These positive and negative biases are always equal to each other like action-reaction equality and work very much like that. Therefore, stronger an affiliation, stronger the favorable and unfavorable prejudices. A prejudice may not look harmful to an individual but proves surely harmful to the whole humanity. Even benefits and losses to the individual for the prejudices compensate each other and the individual unnecessarily carries the burden of the prejudices. It is always good not to harbor any prejudice, but for the social affiliations of human-beings, prejudices can not be over-ruled totally. A prejudice in the mind of an individual is often related to pride of the person for the affiliation.
