True or False? All biases and prejudices are based on hostility toward groups.

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether the statement that all biases and prejudices are based on hostility toward groups is true or false. It's a test of understanding around the concepts of bias and prejudice.

More Information

Not all biases are based on hostility. Some biases are implicit or unexamined and may not stem from overt hostility toward groups.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming all biases are based on conscious hostility, while many are subtle or implicit.
