I was never discriminated because of race, religion, gender. There is one type of discrimination that many people don't think of, your age. Normally peers don't discriminate, because for now we are all around the same, but I am a year, maybe two younger than most of you. This lead to some problems with the school system. There is a rule that if you turn 5 before a certain date you are eligible for kindergarten. I was after that date so instead of Kindergarten I went to a program called Kindersteps or Pre - Kindergarten. This normally leads into Kindergarten then into First Grade, but I skipped the kindergarten part making me a year early into the school system. Going into first grade a year early lead to some complications with the school system and it took more work than necessary to get in. …show more content…

All of the policies and procedures by which I work are defined by The Children's Act 1989 which legislates for England and Wales. All our Safeguarding measures, Health and Safety policies and Child protection procedures must follow the relevant legislations. As a children’s residential home we have to follow The National Minimum Standards too and it is these
Discrimination is a term that is closely associated with many horrible things such as violence, wars, and (worst of all) politics. Although it can be argued that outright discrimination is slowly being eliminated, a new term has emerged that describes the newer, less direct, form of social inequality that is replacing the usual discrimination. Microaggressions are outlets of showing underlying prejudice without specifically attacking something. By definition, microaggressions are too small to be addressed from a disciplinary point of view, but, by looking at specific examples of microaggressions in higher education, one concludes that microaggressions must be attacked by raising awareness through discussion in academia.
Foster care is defined as an out of home placement outside of the biological family. Individuals are placed in foster care due to some form of child maltreatment, rather it be sexual abuse, neglect, and/or physical abuse. Adolescents who age out of the foster care system are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one years old who are still in the child welfare system and have not been adopted. Aging out of the foster care systems means that adolescents currently in the child welfare system who have reached the age of eighteen and do not plan to continue in an educational setting has reached the age to where the state can no longer provide for them. Those adolescents who remain in foster care past their eighteenth birthday have to be in some type of educational setting, but at their twenty first birthday that individual is forced out of the system and into adulthood.
Racism is as old as history that’s because it was known in history everyone was divided by race. This division had caused trouble because of how they treated each other or how the powerful treated the others. There are plenty of examples of this, but only one of them stands out in my book .The biggest most memorable discrimination is the one between the Americans and the African Americans. The African Americans were placed in the lower and below class by the Americans. Their relationship if there was any was known as master and slave, owner and property, and exterminator and vermin. Basically, life for them was the hard knock more like the eternity in hell.

Nice post William, I couldn’t agree with you more. Raising the admissions standards at any college or university is unconstitutional. Yet, some school’s tried to racially balance their institutions population by giving special incentives, like the University of Michigan Law School, “where they added points to test scores of all minority applicants, but was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2003(Buchanan, 2004, para. 2).”
Racism and sexism are both examples of discrimination that happen daily in contemporary society. Unfortunatel many instances of discrimination go unnoticed and unchecked because the society, more specifically the United States, is supposedly past the era of discriminatory practices in work, education and day to day living. "In fact, racism and sexism can be unintentional as well as intentional and good people who mean well can inadvertently
As a supervisor responsible for hiring subordinates, supervising them, and recommending them for promotion should avoid discriminatory management practices such as recruitment through word of mouth, help wanted ads or selection standards through educational requirements, appearance, health questions, height weight etc. (Dessler, 2013).
After reading both articles, “Does Reverse Discrimination Exist?” and “Because reverse discrimination is a real thing”, where the topic of reverse discrimination is discussed I would have to conclude that reverse discrimination does not exist in our society. Often times I find that the “reverse discrimination” discussion is often started by white people when people of another race bring attention to racism and discrimination, or create opportunity specific to themselves that white people aren’t a part of. It seems the reasoning to justify the ongoing reverse racism argument is to somehow “prove” that people of other races don’t have it that bad, because they are not the only ones that are put at a disadvantage due to their race. I believe
In this study, researchers focused on whether experiencing discrimination affects personality changes in adults. Their reason to believe this is because normally, there are predictable changes in an adult’s personality, as part of the Five Factor Model . Researchers in this study predicted that there will be increases in experiencing negative emotions, decreases in being trusting, decreases in being able to be organized and disciplined, as well as being able to be open to try new things.
All over the globe, different situations on child abuse/neglect have been reported due to parents not watching over their children properly. These occurrences have raised questions, such as, “Do elementary-school-age children require adult supervision?”; and the answer is yes. Children at this age are way too young to be walking around the streets or left in a car for a decent amount of time, without the guidance and surveillance of an adult. Elementary students are typically unprepared or inexperienced on what the world could throw at them at any moment. They are also vulnerable to about anything or anyone. An adolescent around that age should be a parents number 1 concern and should always be doing whatever they can to keep them safe; everything else should be second.
I participated in my philosophers walk with classmate, teammate and friend Jeff Espinal. The questions that I posed for discussion were, what do you think causes humans to be racist and discriminate amongst each other? Why do we feel the need to separate ourselves from others? Will this ever change…in our lifetime maybe? I stumbled upon this topic of racism and discrimination by just contemplating the state of the world today. I picked out the biggest flaws in society and figured this would be worth investigating. I ended up being correct, for this was an enjoyable and enlightening experience that helped me grow my understanding of a sensitive topic through honest dialogue.
Most people have either experienced or seen sexual discrimination in the learning environment. This is because schools are teaching sexism in classes through textbooks that do not give historical female figures enough credit for their accomplishments, dress codes that punish girls for their body’s at the risk of the male education, and gender stereotypes placed in schools that have a strong influence on children 's behavior and personality. Some may argue against this claim by arguing that women are not given credibility in history books because of their treatment in the past, dress codes are placed to stop distracting boys, or that the treatment of children in schools is more difficult for male students because they have larger dropout
of discrimination instills the low confidence and inferiority complex among female and superiority complex among boys and it continue till whole life. Now, women should initiate towards the elimination of this partial behaviour and stop discrimination while assigning the work to their children. The mother can take onus to transform the psychology of the male and female from their childhood age. Once our society will grow on the principles of equality than the root cause of gender discrimination will be fading away and women will be empowered automatically.
