Prejudice in Scotland

Prejudice:

"Literally means to ' pre-judge '. That is to form an opinion before knowing the facts of a situation.Ignorance is a factor in causing prejudice. Prejudice, like the word 'bias' can be either negative or positive. It is possible to be prejudiced in favour of someone or prejudiced against someone".

To help you research for your essays and speeches I've found some sites that might provide you with some useful information (F and S in AFOREST possibly...):
