Answer to Question 1

Prejudices are negative beliefs that are held about entire groups. They are prejudgments of individuals based on stereotypes, which are generalizations about a group of people. Discrimination differs from prejudice in that it involves actions rather than beliefs. It includes any behavior that harms individuals or puts them at a disadvantage on the basis of their group membership.
A person could hold prejudicial beliefs without acting upon them. For example, a business owner may dislike a minority group but will not discriminate because it is a poor business decision, and illegal. A person could discriminate without being prejudiced. For example, a manager could tell an employee not to help gay people and, even if the employee does not have prejudiced beliefs about gay people, the employee may discriminate in order to keep his or her job.
