The
topic of social
categorization and origins of prejudice is addressed here through a
discussion of stereotypes in an essay, "Impressions and Levels of Prejudice," by
Omar Azam (this link is to his web site). Read the relevant portions (or
the entire essay if you prefer) and answer the first question in the Key
Questions box on page 646. This topic is an excellent topic for further
research. 
Explore prejudice further by first
searching the web for relevant information.
If you need
help searching the web, you might want to start with this linked search engine
from Inference. Remember to save your links in a word processor or notepad
