Reducing Prejudice
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Distinguishing between individual-level and intergroup approaches to reducing prejudice finds how the former encourages people to re-evaluate the values, attitudes and character that has served to cultivate a prejudice mind-set. The extent to which the individual-level approach helps to place the focus directly upon the person who harbors prejudice is both grand and far-reaching; that this method helps to draw attention to how these erroneous beliefs can "arouse negative emotional states" (Dovidio et al, 1999, pp. 101-105) speaks to the value of creating better and more positive attitudes. By comparison, the intergroup approach provides the ability for people to achieve three objectives: 1) cultivate individualized perceptions of group members about whom they are prejudice; 2) encourage tailored communication between each group; and 3) "redefine group boundaries to create more inclusive, superordinate representations of the groups" (Dovidio et al, 1999, pp. 101-105). Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Reducing Prejudice Through Intergroup Contact Situations: Why Does This Approach Fail?
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Victims of prejudice often face considerably more challenges than other members of society, in that they have to struggle just to achieve a modicum of acceptance. Their societal counterparts, who are frequently ignorant to deeper issues surrounding such intolerance, often unknowingly make them feel inadequate and worthless when it comes to intergroup contact situations. Incorporating group counseling – as a means by which to overcome the not-so-invisible boundaries that intrude upon an individual's right to exist – would appear to be a most effective way to address the inherent fear, isolation and depression associated with social prejudice; however, it has not proven successful at achieving this objective. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
