preconceived or unreasoned

accompanied by a refusal to consider the possible merits of alternative points of
oA tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others that
usually results in treating some people unfairly

oPeople cannot be reduced to just one characteristic.
oConsider perspectives different from our own.
oCritical and constructive thinking contribute to a more just society.
While we can’t always walk in someone else’s shoes, we can take the time to
inquire about how the shoe fits and if its path is smooth or riddled with
pebbles.
