Answer:

Here is an example of someone prejudging (prejudice) another. Let's say there is a homeless person who is trying to ask for money to feed their son or daughter tonight. A person may approach the homeless man, and the homeless will say "Excuse me sir, do you have any change to spare." The man may look at the sign that the homeless person to up and it says "Trying to feed my daughter tonight." The man laughs, and he says what the sign says. Then, he says "Yeah right you are trying to feed your daughter." "More like spending money on alcohol or drugs." This is practicing prejudice because you judging someone before even knowing them.

An example of discrimination would be if a woman for example doesn't get the same amount of money as a man does if they work the same job. A woman may get paid less because they are not meant for the job, or they say that women always get paid less. This is discrimination because you are not giving the woman the same treatment as the man if they worked the same hours. It may go to a point were a woman works more than a man, but she still gets paid less.

Prejudice- unfair opinions to a group or a individual

Discrimination- mistreatment to one or a group.

Answer:The salience of perceptual stimuli is a good description of how we can end up with attribution error.

Explanation:

This means we can make error in how we define others based on what aspect of them we focused more on or what aspect we didn't focus on.

Salience bias or perceptual salience is how our thinking can be bias sometimes as we tend to focus more on prominent or emotionally capturing individuals than those who seems not noticeable eventhough those differences may not be relevant if we were to think more objectively.

People may be speaking about the same topic but we may tend to listen more to the famous actress saying the same thing which is said by our neighbor just because our neighbor isn't prominent .
