Real Life Issues: Prejudice

Product description:
 
Prejudice is not fair, and it's never right - yet it's something that many people have to deal with every day. In fact, we are all likely to be on the receiving end of some kind of discrimination at some point in our lives and, if we're completely honest with ourselves, we all have prejudices of one sort or another. So it is an issue that everyone needs to address.

 

Real Life Issues: Prejudice takes a clear, no-nonsense approach to this complicated subject. It contains in-depth chapters on different types of prejudice and offers practical advice on ways of coping if people are behaving towards you in a discriminatory way. Packed with real-life stories from people who have been on the receiving end of prejudice, it also covers key points including:

 

• The difference between prejudice and discrimination
• Types of behaviour associated with prejudice
• Why people are prejudiced and where prejudiced opinions come from
• How the cycle of prejudice can be broken through tolerance and respect
• Who to turn to for help.

 

Real Life Issues are self-help guides offering information and advice on a range of key issues that matter to teenagers. Each book defines the issue, probes the reader's experience of it and offers ways of understanding and coping with it. Written in a lively and accessible style, Real Life Issues aim to demystify the areas that teenagers find hard to talk about, providing honest facts, practical advice, inspirational quotes, positive reassurance, and guidance towards specialist help.
