We've been talking in class about how prejudice develops. Today we'll do an activity that will help us explore the difference between explicit and implicit prejudice. Click on the title above and explore the Implicit Associations Test. You may explore multiple topics.
After exploring the website do the poll on the right-hand side then post a comment explaining your answer. Then you can reply to other people's comments.
As always, your initial post should use academic language with correct spelling and grammar.
