Prejudice is a kind of preconceived opinion or assumption about the people or things in the society that is based on the lack of knowledge. In simpler words we can say that it is a hasty conclusion about someone or something without having the adequate knowledge about it. In prejudice one tends to like or dislike some one based on its affiliation with certain group. On the other hand, stereotype is the widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. In other words we can say that stereotype is the common mindset about something or someone that can either be based on truth or false.

There are three components of map, viz. distance, direction and symbol.
Distance: Maps are two-dimensional drawings. It reduces the entire world or a part of the world on a small sheet of paper. While making a map, cartographers pay attention to properly represent the distance between two places. This helps us in finding the actual distance between two places.
Direction:A map also contains information about directions. On most of the maps, you will usually see an upward arrow and the letter ‘N’. This shows the north direction. Once we know the north, we can easily find the other directions. North, South, East and West are the four major directions. These are called Cardinal Directions. Some maps also show the intermediate directions, viz. north-east, south-east, south-west and north-west.
Symbols: Cartographers also need to show various details; like important structures, landmarks, etc. on a map. These things are shown by some standard symbols on the map. You can understand that it is not possible to draw pictures of hospital or temple or railway line or a monument on a map because of the lack of space. Hence some conventional symbols have been made on the basis of an international agreement.

| Discrimination | Stereotypes |
| 1. Discrimination happens when people act on their prejudices or stereotypes. | 1. When we fix people into one image we create a stereotype. |
| 2. Example: If people do something to put other people down, if they stop them from taking part in certain activities and taking up jobs, or stop them from living in certain neighbourhoods, they are discriminating against them. | 2. Example: When people say that those who belong to a particular country, religion, ***, race or economic background are "stingy," "lazy," "criminal" or "dumb," they are using stereotypes. |
| 3. Discrimination can take place because of several reasons such as different religions, different language and different economic backgrounds. | 3. Stereotypes stop us from looking at each person as a unique individual with his or her own special qualities and skills that are different from others. |
