Prejudice is a prejudging of any kind, usually in a negative
way. However, there is positive prejudice, which exaggerates the virtues of a
group, making people think that group is superior. I took a picture of the
movie Mean Girls, in which positive prejudice plays a huge role. This group of
girls is referred to in their school as “The Plastics” because they are so
perfect they resemble Barbie’s. Everybody in the school just watches their
every move in awe and is completely convinced they are superior. Positive
prejudice placed The Plastics on a pedestal in their high school.
