From the Paper:

Body and Mind: A Synthesis of Research on Prejudice and Discrimination With such a huge population and massive land area, the people who populate planet Earth are incredibly varied, in their language, customs, values, abilities, resources, and thinking. At least one constant appears to exist across cultures and time: the tendency of people to assess others, categorize them into groups, and then treat them according to the status consensually assigned to that group. The notion of making these decisions may be called `prejudice', and actions that are guided by prejudice may be called `discrimination.' This essay will examine how four articles approach issues of prejudice and discrimination.
