What is your view on prejudice?
Prejudice is found everywhere and has been in existence since the beginning of time. As long as there are people, there are prejudices. It is inevitable that prejudices exist in our daily life but we ourselves must be able to manage our own as well as society prejudices. It is neither right or wrong about having prejudices but we must constantly be aware of its existence.

Can you list some examples of prejudice?
There can be prejudices about race, religions, social economic background, physical appearance, gender.

What is your view on discrimination?
It is neither right or wrong about having discrimination but we must constantly be aware of its existence. If we were to adopt a positive attitude towards ‘perceived discrimination”, we will not be angry at all times. We must find the root cause and try to correct it through persuasion, education and even through legislation. We must try as much as possible to provide a level playing field for everyone. It may not be perfect but we must still have faith in it and persevere to achieve it.

Can you explain the different forms of discrimination?Examples of positive discrimination is when we encounter people who look down on our social economic background. If we were to acknowledge this action as a challenge for us to work harder than others, in this country we have the opportunity to excel and possibly reach the same level.
Examples of negative discrimination is when somebody exhibit discrimination towards a another person through words or actions. The recipient react through it using violent means to even out. This just reinforced the subject of negative discrimination.

What will you do if you come across discrimination?

I will try to stop the act within my means if not I will seek assistance of the police. I will not use violent means to resolve the discrimination as it is wrong and sending the wrong message across. Throughout history, too many lives have been lost because of acts of discrimination.
