Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prejudice refers to a fixed attitude, belief or emotion held by an individual about another individual or group that is not based on any valid evidence or data, but rather on preconceived notions or stereotypes. Ethnocentrism is the belief or assumption that one's own cultural or ethnic group is superior to others, while privilege refers to the advantages or benefits that a particular group enjoys in society due to their social or economic status. Stereotype refers to a widely held but oversimplified and generalized image or idea of a particular group, often based on incomplete or inaccurate information. While all of these concepts are related, B is the most accurate choice given the parameters of the question.
