Answer and Explanation:
The quote "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" was taken from Orwell's novella "Animal Farm". Even though "Animal Farm" criticizes Stalinist Russia, many of the flaws it points out can be noticed everywhere. We are constantly told we are all equal, that all human beings deserve to be treated with fairness in an unprejudiced manner. But, let's face it, some are "more equal than others".
As a woman, I've been through several moments when sexism was used to diminish me. I've been told plenty of times that I wouldn't understand something related to cars or to measuring houses simply because I was not a man. Still, I am more equal than a friend of mine, who is not only a woman, but a black woman. She was telling me the other day of the times she was followed around in department stores. Someone from the staff would watch her every move, afraid she would steal something. As I am white, that has never happened to me. It brought me to the sad realization that equality is still a utopia.

This introduces us to stereotypes, biases, prejudices and impression formation.
</span>
<span><span>There are many
reasons why getting to know people before forming any opinions about
them is important, significant and appealing.</span>
The
primacy effect. First impressions never last. In most ways, it is
important since people like us, makes assumptions based on what we see
or perceive about a person. This extrinsic trait or characteristic of a
person is the only observable and empirical idea that binds our belief
about that individual and through this trait or elicited behavior
(prejudice), we form beliefs thus we form our own stereotypes.
Stereotype now, is a cognitive and mental action designed to think of
people negatively but only in thoughts. These cognition or thinking
leads us to either form negative behavior or total social negligence
when the individual or subject is around, in most ways discrimination.
The
core principle of getting to know someone is validation, take note not
all of our social evaluations (prejudice) and shaped beliefs
(stereotypes) are true since most of them are out of conjecture.
We
ask the person, we get to know their own beliefs and perceptions and
therefore, we can understand what the real root from this attitude or
trait, a certain kind of personality caused by biology or sociology. </span>
