Signification
Holding an unfair belief.
Contexte culturel
In Greece, discussing 'προκαταλήψεις' is common in coffee-shop debates (the famous 'kafeneio' culture). It is often linked to political affiliations. The Greek school system emphasizes the 'humanistic' approach to combatting 'προκαταλήψεις' through literature and history. Multinational companies in Athens now conduct 'Unconscious Bias' training, using the term 'ασυνείδητη προκατάληψη'. Sometimes 'προκατάληψη' is used to describe views on religious minorities, reflecting the dominant role of the Orthodox Church.
Softening the blow
If you want to admit a bias without sounding like a bad person, add 'ίσως' (maybe) or 'ασυνείδητα' (unconsciously).
Preposition Alert
Never use 'με' (with) after 'προκατάληψη'. It's a common mistake for English speakers.
