false — faulty
1. One of the earliest psychological explanations of prejudice described it as: “an antipathy 
based on false/faulty and inflexible generalisation towards a group as a whole or towards an 
individual because they are a member of that group.”
2. Human dissection was not permitted in the classical world (“the dignity of the human body” 
forbade it), which is why Greco-Roman works on anatomy are so false/faulty.
3. The claim that the magnetic compass reached Europe from China through Islam is false/faulty.
4. False/faulty claims about religion and science have been used as weapons in the battle to 
“free” the human mind from the “fetters of faith.”
5. 
In parliament, opposition party tactics were to capitalize on popular discontent with government 
economic policy by opposing specific measures, such as price increases, on the grounds that 
they were either inopportune or part of a generally false/faulty government economic strategy.
6. According to surveys by the International Labor Organization allegations that foreign-owned 
plants in “sweatshop industries” (such as footwear and apparel) pay lower wages and provide 
inferior working conditions turn out to be false/faulty.
7. 
Many psychological theories refer to false/faulty parent-child relationships, such as abnormal 
experiences in early childhood having a lasting effect and influence on personality.
prosecute (prosecution) — persecute (persecution)
1. 
I won’t recite a litany of past and current prejudices, prosecution/persecution and acts of dis-
crimination; stigma and the ‘fear of the unknown’ have always been with us, playing a central 
role in dividing people
2. In general, it was not acceptable for Subjects to rebel, but the way in which Philip II prosecut-
ed/persecuted the Netherlands Protestants gave them a right to “abjure” their earlier loyalty 
to the Spanish Crown.
