"Instead of bringing or holding people together, prejudice and discrimination push them apart....If there is no relationship people would be completely unaware of another person's or group's existence."
I think that this is a good source because it comes from the University of Colorado Boulder. It is a prestigious school. In 2008, Forbes magazine named Boulder one of the smartest cities in America; the university is in the center of the city.

Patrick D. Murphy Indiana University in Pennsylvania
"This recognition of the interrelationship of natural and cultural diversity and emphasis on the nuturing practice of cultural conservation are to be found throughout the poetry of Chants (1985), Borders (1986), and Communion (1991), as well as in Nepantla (1993), of which she says: 'The essays are my encounters with the world' (Nepantla 9) ".
I think that this is a good source because it is basically a search engine for academic journals. It claims that it is the most reliable source out there for academic research. They claimed that they are used by millions. The funny thing is I have never heard of them .

"Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development".
I would have to say that this source is one of the most creditable since it is an organization from the United Nations.

Holocaust Community founded in 1995 to Remember, Zachor, Sich Erinnern. Remember.org offers contributors (survivors, liberators, historians, and teachers )a place to connect and sharethe best research resources and stories through art, photography, painting, audio/video, and remembrance.
"All of us have prejudices about members of groups different from ourselves. We should, however, recognize that we are not acting fairly if we treat people differently because of these stereotypes and prejudices. Each one of us deserves to be considered a unique human being."
I think that this is a great source because it is a website dedicated to remembering the Holocaust. I feel a strong bond with this source since I am Polish and my family did have to suffer through this genocide.

The article is adapted from Plous, S. (2003). The psychology of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination: An overview. In S. Plous (Ed.), Understanding Prejudice and Discrimination (pp. 3-48). New York: McGraw-Hill.
"As commonly used in psychology, prejudice is not merely a statement of opinion or belief, but and attitude that includes feelings such as contempt, dislike or loathing"(1).
It seems like a creditable source, it says it is used for academic purposes and that they even have a researchable database.
