Hi, welcome to the site, you don't mention the unit title xx
SHC 33 in the level 3 handbook looks at promoting equality and inclusion in settings and helps to research
prejudice and how it can prevent the recognition of benefits as it tends to use our negative experiences to inform our immediate responses and reactions to newer situations - causing discrimination.
Recognising prejudice in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion means examining how you feel about religion/faith and belief, gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, race, culture, cultural ideas and lifestyles. If you think the knowledge about the differences involved helps you make more informed responses, decisions and choices.
Consider if you prefer one over another, why that might be and if it ever influences or impacts your actions in any way.
SHC 32 and 33 in the Collins handbook will help page 54 asks you to consider your personal influences and the type of experiences you've been exposed to eg.
Family background: the make-up of your immediate and extended family and their impact; whether you were an only child or were there many children; sibling rivalry; a mix of genders; the history of your family; whether there was a harsh discipline or permissive attitude.
Environment: the house/flat/caravan you grew up in and its location, within town or rural setting, within a certain geographical area, or a different country.
Finances: whether you were wealthy or struggled to have your basic needs met.
Education: the ethos of your school; whether single or mixed sex; boarding or day school; inspirational teachers; success academically; whether you were bullied; whether you developed special interests.
Religious or spiritual belief system including if you embraced or rejected this.
Moral influences: values passed onto you as being of central importance to the way you live your life.
The following quote is from the EYMP 4 unit on page 282 of the
Heinemann handbook
Being positive about differences
It would be comforting to think that young children cannot be prejudiced, but the harsh reality is that they absorb attitudes from others, and this affects their behaviour. But children are less likely to develop prejudiced attitudes if they learn about differences in a positive way. Young children are very observant and notice differences between people from a surprisingly young age. We can help them to see those differences in a positive light, and enjoy the diversity of our society.
Some practitioners feel uncomfortable in dealing with children's natural curiosity about people who are different from themselves and talking about variations in skin tone, hair texture, shape of features, physical abilities and impairments. If you respond readily to children's questions and comments about differences in gender, ethnicity, culture and family and physical appearance, you will help them to grow up with accurate information and help them avoid stereotypes and prejudice.
