Question 3 of 10 Mr. Tyler gave Coleton a lower grade because he doesn't think football players are very smart. This is an example of: A. facilitation B. prejudice. C. stereotyping D. discrimination

The situation described in the question is an example of Mr. Tyler giving Coleton a lower grade based on his belief that football players are not very smart. This action reflects a negative judgment or bias against a group (football players) without considering individual merit.<br /><br />Let's analyze the options:<br /><br />A. Facilitation - This refers to making a process easier or assisting in progress, which does not apply here.<br />B. Prejudice - This involves preconceived opinions or attitudes about a group that are not based on reason or actual experience.<br />C. Stereotyping - This involves oversimplified and fixed ideas about a group of people.<br />D. Discrimination - This involves treating someone unfairly or unjustly based on their membership in a particular group.<br /><br />While stereotyping (C) is involved because Mr. Tyler holds a fixed idea about football players, the act of giving a lower grade based on this stereotype constitutes discrimination (D). Discrimination is the behavior or actions, often negative, towards an individual or group based on prejudices.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is:<br />D. discrimination.
