Answer 5

A concept (singular) is a mental construct. It's an idea. It can be something that doesn't actually exist outside of the mind. For example 'racism'. Yes of course people can be prejudiced against others of a different colour or origin, but the reason people are racist is based solely on mental constructions and value judgments which have no basis in reality. Racism is not a tangible thing you can touch, it's a chain of ideas and actions that depend solely on a value judgment. You could say to be racist is to apply a value judgement and so the accusation is also racist. For example I could not be racist to my brother or to someone of the same race therefore it requires a concept of being different.
