Home learning part 2b

Here's the second part of the second task.

Interpersonal:

a. Conduct an interview with a friend (not from HCI) or family member. Find out from their point of view on prejudice and discrimination. Either record the interview or write out the interview transcript.
This was done with my cousin.
Me says:
What is discrimination to you?
He says:
it is discriminating for or against a person or object for certain qualities eg race
Me says:
ok next, do you think it is right do discriminate people? If yes, why so?
He says:
um thats a yes no answer
cause i mean u clearly shouldnt cause their of a different race but lets say ur picking a sports team for the olympics or something. u will have to discriminate against the ppl not as good in order to have the best possible team
Me says:
I wasn't expecting something like that
very deep answer
next
what in you opinion is the difference between prejudice and discrimination
He says:
um
a prejudice is really having a strong belief about something without knowing all the facts
discrimination in some sense is like knowing why u like/dislike something


And that's basically it.
