Examples of prejudicial and non-prejudicial uses of rhetorical devices
Posted by Bisopz E-Corporations-Mrs. Thiesha D. Jones-Frazier on August 16, 2008
The people that live in the Projects have children at early ages. (prejudicial)
This is an assumption that “the people“-meaning everyone in the Projects have children at an early age.
Some of the people that live in the Projects have children at an early age. (non-prejudicial)
In my opinion, this is not an assumption, because the author is stating that some of the people that live in the Projects have children at an early age.
The children that live in the Projects grow up without their father. (prejudicial)
This is also an assumption that “the children”-all of the children that live in the Projects grow up without their fathers.
Some children that live in the Projects grow up without their fathers. (non-prejudicial)
In my opinion, this is not an assumption. The author is stating that some of the children that live in the Projects grow up without their fathers.

Thanks for the excellent examples. I am in a critical thinking class where we are being asked how we discern the difference between nonprejudicial and prejudicial. I wasn’t sure until I read your explanation. Thanks again.

Thanks I didn’t really understand what a nonprejudicial and prejudicial was until I found your examples!
