Explanation / Answer

1.is it possible to be free of prejudice? have you ever met anyone who was?

Prejudice means pre-judging which can be created by a limited data set or it can be completely arbitrary and unmotivated. Any one can formulate a particular statement about reality without testing it. If a persona say that "the stars are made gold" then there is no evidence and if someone says that moon is made of dry ice and when presented with evidence that this is not so, such as samples brought back from the moon, he is unwilling to change his mind or consider the evidence, we label such a person "prejudiced." So it depends on person to person to be free from preudice. Everybody knows, believes and agrees that prejudice is bad. I also met people who are not in favor of prejudice but have some preudiced approach towards some things. Taking a stand against prejudice is almost like taking a stand against evil. Nobody likes "evil" so everybody agrees with you. But then when it comes to identifying what evil is, and where it is found and what we should do about it, there's a wide divergence of opinion.

2.are you prejudiced? if so, what are some recent instances in which ou behaved in a prejudiced way? if not, how do you kown that you are not prejudiced?

No I am not and I know this because I listen to others belief system and always ready to change my opinion on something if it is wrong. Else I believe that there are many ways and many truths. For a frog in a well there is only well which is whole world for him. So this is truth for frog as he is ignorant or has limited abilities. Like for a blind person there is no colour and he is right if he says that the only colour us black because it is his limited ability so it is his truth. But there is always a universal truth about something.

3.if you are behaved in a prejudiced way, what caused the prejudice, and what might reduce it? how did other people respond to your behavior?

People may be angry or totally disagree from me if I ever act as preudiced. But normally I won't as I respect others thinking process too.
