Answer: Stereotyping is the act of classifying a particular person,persons, culture, organization by the believe we have of them,it is linked with the COGNITIVE part of the Brain etc.

Prejudice is a negative perception we have on a particular person,persons, culture or organization. It makes us treat them wrongly,it is linked with EMOTIONS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stereotyping is the act of classifying a person, persons, culture or organization, stereotyping is linked with the COGNITIVE part of the Brain.

Prejudice is linked with the EMOTIONAL part of the Brain.

Stereotyping deals with the classification of a person or a group based on the GENERAL PERCEPTION we have about them

Prejudice arises from the classification of a single person or group using the GENERAL BELIEVE we have about the group he or she belongs.

Stereotyping must not ALWAYS BE NEGATIVE but Prejudice is Negative.
