Ignorance
denotes a lack of knowledge or intelligence (Merriam-Webster’s dictionary).
Some people are prejudiced because of their ignorance. It is easy to become
prejudiced when we lack the right information. Sometimes when we hear something
about someone, we judge that person solely by what we hear, not by what we
know. We may make a decision about or wrongly because of misunderstandings.
This mistake can lead to a lack of morals in our society. Seeking the truth and
the right information are good characteristics of a broad-minded and
kindhearted person. Broadened
minds extend our limits of consideration and
understanding. Unbiased people usually act for the benefit of society more than
for themselves. ='font-size:>There are two
kinds of people in this
world: the ones who know and the ones who do not really
know. ='font-size:>
"> One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions
However, the ones who know may be categorized as those who deeply and
really know, really know, and partially know.

common belief that a middle child tends to get less attention than his or her
siblings, but that does not mean all middle children will be trouble makers.

because he was afraid of killing.

">Once upon a
time, there were many people who felt reluctant to give donations and did not
want to attend church because they heard there was a priest who sexually abused
a young boy. So they concluded that every priest is gay or sadistic. (I do not
mean anything against homosexual.) However, that is not true. If a small
portion of people in an organization is bad, it does not mean that everyone in
that organization is bad.

children will be “brats”
The youngest child tends to get the most attention or is spoiled, but that does
not mean all youngest children will be “brats”. The oldest child tends to be a
good example, but that does not mean that all of them will be.

Students who
come from wealthy families tend to be able to get whatever they want, but that
does not mean all of them can do or deserve whatever they want, neither are all
of them snobbish and arrogant.

people tend to believe the results that have been tested or proved by
researchers, but that does not mean all scientific tests are correct. We should
prove for ourselves before we believe, but sometimes we need to believe before
we can prove.
