As individuals, the way the people around us think and feel matter to us a lot, sometimes too much. It affects individuals so much so that it starts to affect the way we think about themselves. The three-key elements of public perception that influence individuals are stereotypes, prejudices, and discriminations. Those thoughts and actions exhibited by the public are then adopted by individuals and directed toward themselves.
