contact hypothesis
There’s a theory in psychology and sociology known as the “contact hypothesis,” which says that prejudice and hatred between different groups — racial, religious, or otherwise — often decreases when the two groups actually have contact with one another.
The idea is pretty simple: Once you get to know people from the other group, you begin to see them not as stereotypes or caricatures, but as real people with all sorts of different views.
