Master Your Inner Caveman

Prejudice is a judgment based on a preconceived notion about a group of people because of the way they look or act. This perception about an ethnic group or simply a person has existed since the beginning of mankind, it has been hardwired into our brains to think this way. You can see prejudice throughout history, examples being the holocaust of how it started based on the way people looked upon Jews and said that they were manipulating the financial sector. Or the way lots of people think that people who practice Islam are all terrorists which is a completely erratic and a horrible idea, which mosts prejudices are. This feeling about people is based on a primitive mindset of survival and the only solution to this instinct is education, so you can make a conscious thought before making erroneous accusations about people.

This negative stereotype started since the Paleolithic times where man was simply tribes of hunters and gatherers wandering from place to place looking for food, carrying this primitive mindset with them. If these tribes happened to wander across another tribe that may have looked different or acted in an unusual way, the primitive nature of these men would overtake and they would immediately think that different is atrocious. This mindset

causes commotion between these two tribes because they think that the other tribe is a threat because of their diversity, and survival kicks in which causes the two tribes to fight. This mindset has been carried throughout time and is still here just in a more civilized manner, prejudice exists everywhere ranging from a small social class order in school to a global accusation about a religion that people practice.
The primitive mindset known as prejudice has existed through the beginning of man, to the age of agriculture and civilization. It exists in this age as social classes comparing a farmer to a priest, or a janitor to a rich business man. An example of these social classes can be found in 1800s England, where there was a lower class, middle class, and higher class. The lower class might have thought that every single higher class man was a stingy, rich, snob, while the higher class might see the lower class as poor, lazy, filthy, uneducated people. It continues and continues until you can educate people on why these certain people are poor, obese, different in color and religion. Prejudice is a disease that has existed since the pre stone age that continues through time.
Now how do we solve this horrid mindset that warps our thinking of people based truly on the way they look and act.

Education, is the only way to solve this hardwired mentality, through education people can learn to realize that people look and act that way for a reason. You may ask why is that man obese? Getting educated can teach you about how that man is fat, he may have come from a bad eating household, or he was just born genetically in that way. Through this understanding people can have more empathy and reasoning on why people are different. The way to stop the primitive mind is to activate the conscious mind and through doing so you can master your inner caveman and end

prejudice.
Prejudice exists in the world, there might be nothing that can truly change everybody's hardwired instinct to judge people because of their outside appearance. You can still make a difference, because by overriding that primitive thinking you can see people for who they are on the inside, which could be bad or good but, at least you are judging them for the true person they are.
