    prejudice is like an illness because they both lack something. wherein an illness occurs because the body lacks the antibodies to fight it off (this can be temporary or long-term) prejudice is a state of lacking the knowledge of information about other cultures. Prejudiced people operate on a small body of knowledge - mainly comprised of what they "think" is true. For prejudiced people rarely investigate or challenge their beliefs - an act that requires research (by reading or talking to others that are "different"). For anyone who takes the time to try and walk in someone else's shoes usually comes out with a different and enlightened perspective. It is through this act that one develops tolerance, acceptance, and understanding.

    If one's prejudice is religiously based even the activity of investigating the person or thing that is prejudiced against is enlightening. People don't have to condone an activity to appreciate the person and their individual human experience. Instead of being prejudiced an enlightened person can understand the unique experiences of all.
