[Scarlet]

Howdy !~ Englisholic Members. !~

Cherry blossoms  are at their best in the Musim-river. Have you looked around.

In my case, I enjoyed it in silence in Chungbuk University because walking along the crowded street is

a sort of laborious work to me. Am I getting old ? :) hahaha~

Today We gonna talk about the PREJUDICE !!!

Nobody can be free from Prejudice. Once you establish your own stance on the matter, person or sometimes even yourself,

it's hard to cast away bigotry and out-dated mind sets.

However, If you want to see the essential part of the matter, you should keep on breaking down

the walls of prejudgement and stay in the unbiased and neutral status.

And Why don't you try that today at this meeting. Just assume that the members across to you are the brand new friends. 

And Start from the beginning. OK ?  

Are you Ready to chat chat chat?

Then !~ Get Set Go!!!

Ur Scarlett !!!~

 2. why are the viewpoints of contemporary people getting narrower?

 3. if we save so much time with gadgets like washing machines, toasters, and computers,

     why are we always in such a hurry?

 4. in what ways do we lack common sense despite advanced degrees?

 5. if knowledge isn`t necessary for good judgment , then what is?

 6. is it true that as we make more money we lower our moral values?

 7. can we live in a society free from prejudice?

 8. do you think two-income family runs a higher risk of divorce than a single-income one?

 <Prejudice>- '' Where are we looking toward others?"

Prejudice is a negative or hostile attitude, opinion, or feeling toward a person or group, formed without adequate knowledge, thought, or reason, and based on negative stereotype.

Prejudice is based on prejudgement and often leads to discrimination, actions that limit some person's or group's choices and opportunities.

Prejudices are attitudes rooted in ignorance and a fear of differences.

Prejudices are carried from generation to generation and can fuel victimization, bigotry, and hatred.

However, the good news is that no one is born prejudiced.

Since prejudice is learned, it can be unlearned.

How? That's why we need to talk to one another.

1. What are the common stereotypes about you? Why do you think you are in those stereotypes ? Would you like those or hate them? 
2.  Do you easily have stereotypes toward others? or do you tend to judge others by your own stereotypes toward them? 
3. Generally speaking, what are the common stereotypes about male or female? 
4. Generally speaking, What are the common stereotypes that you know ? ex) Anyone with big eyes is an easily- scared- nature person.

 When was your happiest time and worst time ?

The most sweety thing to the poor heart is the person that you're now talking to- As time goes by, whatever has happened to you, you very naturally can get it out of your mind or you can keep it in your mind.

Popular sayings is that one can not forget what is passed but can put it in the bottom of your mind.

Some memories must be stuck in your mind so you try to run away from those memories every moment.

Some memories are in your old good days so you really want to go back.

Very truely, we might want to share those good things or bad things to one another, which can be useful for us to make one step toward our future.

1. When was your happiest time? Why? Do you miss?
2. When was your worst time? Why? Would you like to change it if you could?
3. Any way of easily forgetting your past things? Tell us.
4. Any bad memory can be your truly good memory, do you agree? If yes, How to change bad memory into good memory?
