HYPOCRISY & PREJUDICE

Thanks Parpukari…for your reminder. Sorry for the delay in updating my column, tight & busy schedule lately.

A friend did approach me and asking my view & opinion about his firm,…emmh not a good advisor anyway…Well, any biz organization will face several obstacles and office politics just to mature their daily operation and routines…hehehhe…hey thats life anyway.

He did pop-up about hypocrisy…..emmh, I’m wondering… and on another session somebody update me on prejudice…. Both words keep me wondering……emmh….

Find the meaning thru wikipedia… just wanna share the below findings.


Prejudice on Wikipedia.
The word prejudice refers to prejudgment: making a decision before becoming aware of the relevant facts of a case or event. The word has commonly been used in certain restricted contexts, in the expression 'racial prejudice'. Initially this is referred to making a judgment about a person based on their race, religion, class, etc., before receiving information relevant to the particular issue on which a judgment was being made; it came, however, to be widely used to refer to any hostile attitude towards people based on their race or even by just judging someone without even knowing them. Subsequently the word has come to be widely so interpreted in this way in contexts other than those relating to race. The meaning now is frequently "any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence". Race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, and religion have a history of inciting prejudicial behaviour.

Hypocrisy on Wikipedia
Hypocrisy (or the state of being a hypocrite) is the act of preaching a certain belief, religion or way of life, but not, in fact, holding these same virtues oneself. For example, an adult telling children not to smoke cigarettes, even though the adult smokes. Hypocrisy is frequently invoked as an accusation in many contexts.
For linguist and social analyst Noam Chomsky, hypocrisy, defined as the refusal to "...apply to ourselves the same standards we apply to others" is one of the central evils of our society--promoting injustices such as war and social inequalities in a framework of self-deception, which includes the notion that hypocrisy itself is a necessary or beneficial part of human behavior and society. In other languages, including French, a hypocrite is one who hides his intentions and true personality.

Well folks…..with above notes, comprehensive advice tho. “Self Explanatory” huh!!…. hehehehe.
