Answer 1

Answer:

The typically negative behaviors an individual displays toward others based on membership to a particular group is referred to as discrimination; the typically negative attitudes an individual has toward others based on membership to a particular group is referred to as prejudice.

Explanation:

Prejudice and discrimination are similar concepts, the main difference is that a prejudiced person has a certain attitude towards a particular group, but he or she does not act on the base of his or her prejudice. On the other hand, when a person discriminates, he or she is acting according to his or her attitude toward a certain group.
