What is a Citizen?

What is a Citizen? A person can be a citizen of many communities. For instance, you can be a citizen of your family, school, country, and world. If you want to be a citizen you have many ways to become a citizen. If you born in a country, you already are a citizen in that country. Another way you can become a citizen of another country like the U.S. to have a quiz. Or if your family was citizen, you can be a citizen, too.

A prejudice is an opinion, prejudgment or attitude about a group or it's individual member's. A prejudice can be positive, but in our usage refers to a negative attitude.

Stereotype is an exaggerated belief, image or distorted truth about a person or group.

An in-group such as a family. Prejudice is often aimed at out-groups.

Discrimination is behavior that treats people unequally because of their group memberships.

The University of Washington created project implicit to develop implicit to develop Hiclden Bias Tests, called Implicit with in-groups attitudes and socialization by the culture at large.

Studies show people can be consciously committed to egalitarianism, and deliberately work to behave without prejudice, yet still possess hidden negative prejudices or stcrcotypes. These hidden negative prejudices or stereotypes are called hidden bias.
