The activity introduces three fundamental concepts for understanding social relationships:
Prejudice: A judgment made about a person or group without sufficient knowledge, often based on preconceived ideas.
Discrimination: An action that harms, excludes, or treats someone unequally because of certain characteristics, such as religion, origin, or disability.
Segregation: The separation of people or groups, often imposed through discriminatory rules or practices.
These concepts are explored through concrete situations, such as a person who is not hired because of their religion, students separated into different schools based on race, and a student prevented from joining a group because of their disability.
The activity also encourages reflection on respect for diversity, inclusion, social participation, and actions to address prejudice, especially within the school environment.
In the first question, students receive a word bank containing PREJUDICE – DISCRIMINATION – SEGREGATION and complete three short definitions. They identify that judging someone without knowing them is prejudice, separating groups through a rule is segregation, and excluding someone because of their religion is discrimination. This activity establishes a conceptual foundation for the following questions.
In the second question, a student named Rui observes other classmates and says, “I don't know any of them, but they don't look like they can do anything.” Students recognize that this statement represents a prejudiced judgment because Rui attributes negative characteristics to people he does not know. The situation provides an opportunity to discuss how prejudice can appear in everyday statements and opinions.
In the third question, a woman participates in a job application process but is not hired because of her religion. Students identify this action as discrimination, understanding that prejudice can lead to concrete consequences, such as exclusion from employment opportunities.
In the fourth question, an illustration shows students from different racial groups being required to attend separate schools because of a rule. Students recognize this practice as segregation. The activity helps them understand that segregation is not limited to an individual's opinion but can involve rules and organized forms of social separation.
In the fifth question, students compare two situations involving disability. In Situation A, a student believes that a classmate is unable to learn. In Situation B, a student prevents a classmate from joining a group because of their disability. The task is to complete the statements using PREJUDICE or DISCRIMINATION, distinguishing a prejudiced judgment from a discriminatory action that prevents participation.
In the sixth question, students mark T for True and F for False in four statements. The activity reviews how a statement can express prejudice, how discrimination can prevent participation, why the idea that one group is superior to another is incorrect, and how discrimination and segregation can occur together. In this way, the question serves as a review of the concepts studied.
Finally, in the seventh question, a student is targeted by a joke that mocks their place of origin. Students identify two appropriate actions: supporting the classmate and explaining that the comment was disrespectful, and seeking help from the teacher or school staff. The activity goes beyond identifying concepts and encourages students to apply their knowledge to a real-life social interaction.
