Discrimination, Prejudice and Stereotypes in Peruvian Context

This paper presents a critical and descriptive analysis about the concepts of discrimination, prejudice and stereotypes in Peruvian context; illustrating cognitive, affective and behavioral explicit or hidden manifestations. All of them, focused on maximizing the differences of a group, minimizing the critical analysis about a collective, concurring in generalizations to strengthen the pseudo-selfesteem of the members of the endogroup, giving way to a collective narcissism. Finally, it concludes by considering imperative elements for the construction of socio-cultural scenarios in which diversity is assumed with a tolerant and normal approach.
