Whether people would like to admit it or not, almost everyone exhibits some kind of behavior that can be classified as prejudice. While some might take offense to this statement, a loose definition of the word prejudice is the negative judgment of a group or its individual members. An example of this is if a person sees a group of younger, rowdier looking kids on a bus, one might be inclined to think that they might make your ride a little less enjoyable. Prejudice in itself is a natural thought process does not necessarily have to be connected with racism. It is not wrong or a crime to have certain prejudices, however, it is wrong when these prejudices turn into social psychological discrimination, which is the action taken due to the prejudices.

During Nazi’s Holocaust, some Jews could believe in their own inferiority. However, most of them were still not convinced, even after spending months or years in concentrations camps, that they were inferior in relation to the Arian race. Hence, behaviour of Holocaust victims was characterised by resistance and preservation of their original beliefs. Similarly, other nations did not buy the idea about one super race on Earth. Uncooperative behaviour of Holocaust victims and other nations undermined the spirit of Nazis so that it existence was limited by about 13 years. Resistance of Jews, disapproval of Nazism by other nations, and public trials (like Nuremberg process) made many Nazis grasp their heads in the astonishment and shock in relation to their past actions.

Emotions simultaneously carry both small and very large experiential elements. This is nature’s way of offering small upsets that we can manage which are symbolically connected to very large hurts or traumas, almost always having occurred in childhood, brought to our attention via the feeling and its attitudes – just in case we need to remember them in order to survive or to grow psychically. In this way feelings can discover things; facts can’t.

In exploring one’s feelings, what’s most interesting to note is how a specific emotion, and its perspective fit into the whole of who we are. Viewed this way the emotion has brought us a message that probably offers some new information about ourselves, and how we relate to the spontaneous experience that triggered the feeling and its attitude. In other words, it offers us something to learn about ourselves.

Viewed as an emotion, rather than a call to action, fear is most probably the learning emotion. It tries to be, doing what’s necessary to accomplish that role – except that we frequently insist upon using it in an entirely different way, most heinously to justify violence.

In all these situations, authorities managed to fool ordinary people using various excuses (“social well being”, “harmonious one nation Aryan world”, “universal communism”, and “science and learning”) into killing of totally innocent people. The ability of these subjects-perpetrators to get the basic insight (“Aha, I was fooled!”) into their manipulated roles (of being fooled) depended on reactions and “opinions” of their victims. Hence, perpetrators’ ability to have the insight ranged from nearly zero in case of witch-hunting and Stalin’s repressions and up to almost 100% in case of the Milgram study.
