Prejudice is known for negative beliefs and actions about individuals or even groups of people. In the article “Causes of Prejudice” by Vincent N. Parrillo, Parrillo talks about both the psychological and sociological causes of prejudice, but in this particular essay we will only focus on the first side of the equation. It happens at the cognitive level of prejudice where a person or group of people believes something that is not true. For example, some people say that Asians are not good drivers. This type of bias can cause deep frustration in Asians who drive. Today we will analyze the psychological aspects of action-oriented prejudice and displaced aggression. Understanding the two articles The Help and Chyna and Me will give us a broad understanding of the role racism also plays in prejudice. Many students today tend to experience displaced aggression in their lives because during their childhood, their parents would always give them orders in an authoritative manor which would cause the children to be a little intimidated or scared. Vincent N. Parrillo states in his article “Cause of Prejudice,” “Childhood experiences of harsh parental discipline and their development of an authoritarian personality as adults” (p. 508). Parrillo explains that parents who discipline their children aggressively tend to cause their children to become more rebellious as they grow up because they no longer have anyone to keep them from doing bad things.

The person experiencing prejudice may feel threatened by the person who offends them in some way and will simply try to avoid them at all costs. Prejudice has existed for many generations and still exists today. Some people simply think they are better than other people, so they try to put them down so they can feel superior. General prejudice is something that is mostly negative because it brings a lot of emotions that can contain frustration in the human body. Many stereotypes are formed through prejudiced situations, such as saying that some ethnicities are more intelligent than others or judging a person by the color of their skin. Much of the discrimination was formed through the prejudice that a certain race would take control because they felt power over another race. It's time to put an end to this gruesome enemy called prejudice.
