Yes I agree with the statement. Prejudice is like an illness that is highly contagious and brings about harmful effects. It is long lasting and unless something drastic or extreme is done to subdue it, prejudice will live on forever.
Prejudice arising from racial discriminations is something unavoidable in the society today. Children of different races grow up with the perspective that those whose skin colour is different from theirs are outcasts in the society and should be ostracised deservingly, thinking that it is perfectly right to do so. This mentality is passed down through generations and those being discriminated against are being trapped in the vicious process.The main way why prejudice would be spread to children is due to socialization. This is the way children is being brought up along with the mindset being fixed and engraved within them that it is almost impossible to get rid of it due to prolonged exposure to the people around them who are prejudiced.Prejudice is something which originates from the heart and brain. It cannot be easily removed unless the something done is able to change one’s mindset towards the species being prejudiced against and undoubtedly requires something revolutionary to do so. It will then change the outlook of life of the person involved.

something revolutionary needs to be done but it cannot be achieved overnight. as the saying goes, rome was not built in a day. To eliminiate or minimise prejudice, we would have to focus at the base unit of society- each individual. with globalisation, it is even moreimportant to eliminate prejudice or the future generation would beliving in constant tension.
