The socialization process is the method by which a society develops a prejudice and teaches to people in that Society. This process starts with singling a group out, justifying your actions, and finally discriminating against that group. Over time the society just begins to interpret these beliefs as the norms, and fewer and fewer people see the problem with the prejudice.
I definitely feel that prejudices and ideas are learned this way. Starting with are parents when we are young, everyone and everything around us leaves a lasting impression that sways how we view the world. I also find it striking true that as a prejudice begins to form, it goes through several stages. Like when a group is looking for a scapegoat, it doesn’t automatically have someone to hate. Instead, a person is chosen that can’t fight back and slowly momentum around the idea builds until the person is well cemented as the person to blame.
