Discrimination And Discrimination

In today’s society it is essential to understand the difference between disparity and discrimination. There are numerous people who still believe that the world is prejudice. This paper will compare and contrast disparity and discrimination. The paper will give examples of both and there relation to the criminal justice system.

Determining how high an individual sets their moral standards to oneself really comes to the surface when you are a freshman in college living on your own for the first time. Without parental guidance, all of the actions you do during your time attending College reflect on what kind of person you are. Knowing and choosing the difference between right and wrong separates those who have grown since high school and those who remain immature. The next unethical incident that occurred at PC during my here happened early on in my second semester of sophomore year where three black students reported beer bottles being thrown at them and claimed that they were being targeted after being denied entry into an off campus party. The United States government describes racial/color discrimination as, “Treating someone unfavorable because he/she is of a certain race or because of personal characteristics associated with race such as hair texture, skin color, or certain facial features” (U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). There are numerous amounts of moral values that are thought to be universal throughout the campus of PC and racial discrimination is far from being considered ethical. After the investigation went underway, Jim Vincent and the rest of Providence NAACP Branch got involved and wanted to put an end completely to any form of racism. Professor Julia Jordan-Zachary, Director of Black Studies at PC, spoke with GoLocal Providence about the incident and said, “If we’re now ‘investigating” what happened, historically speaking investigation at PC of racial biases don’t go well. Nothing happens. There’s a deep history. Talk to alumni, this isn’t new” (GoLocal Providence). The professor went on to say that a couple of years ago students were called, “N*****” on campus and nothing happened because the kids who supposedly said this foul language apparently said something else. The investigation appeared to be thorough, but the outcome of the off-campus incident showed no progress as there was not enough concrete factual evidence to pin point the main culprits and PC failed yet again to give any serious sanctions to anyone.

Words used in society can have a big impact on people, this brings into question of whether some of these words should be allowed or restricted. Oppression and racism in America have been noted throughout history even before 1861. Words like the N-word made to specifically point out and criticize people based on just their skin tone. Though it may seem minimal, there are people who because of the actions in the past, conceal a distaste for the word. Others, taking into consideration that it has been over 100 years since, might not even feel afflicted. Kids often using the word as a substitute for ‘dude’ or ‘brother’. But the brutality that came with the N-word initially, is proof enough that this word is not acceptable in society.

For this interview, I chose to speak with one of the Allied Barton security guards working in the Hopkins dormitories. I met her at the start of my freshman year, and we have remained close friends since. For the purposes of this paper, I will call her Shannon. When asked of her race, Shannon responded with, “Black.” However, Shannon later explained that she is half Native American and half black, as both her mother and father have Native American blood. Yet when asked to identify her race, Shannon very strongly felt that she was a black person, stating that others also perceived her to be black. This falls in line with the One Drop Rule, where Shannon’s black identity is perceived more strongly than her Native American one, not only by others

Racism and its damaging results on students of minority status, pose a great responsibility for school psychologists to serve as advocates who promote equality and social justice. NASP urges all educators to work on collaboratively with the students, families, and community leaders they serve in the following ways:

All types of prejudice vary in some ways , some people are very blunt and some people merely whisper under their breath or secretly avoid the people they dislike. This falls more in between those line with this being an example of averise racism specifically “ Aversive racists, in contrast, sympathize with victims of past injustice,support principles of racial equality, and genuinely regard themselves as non-prejudiced, but at the same time possess conflicting, often non-conscious, negative feelings and beliefs about Blacks that are rooted in basic psychological processes that promote racial bias.” (Pearson, A., Dovidio, J., & Gaertne, S. , 2009) which means that even at times they may support the opposite such as against prejudice and to help people as such but still see them as unsavory and avoid them. People as such may seem like great advocates but still represent part of the problem , these people are in a way hypocrites since they are doing the exact opposite of what they are trying to support others to do. It may come to mind what is the harm since they are doing good in some form but the fact is they are still propagating acting in a negative way against the groups. They are in the end just preaching for people to look tolerant on the outside and secretly still hold prejudice even if they do not openly say it , it is just presenting a different form of racism.

It is the continuing policy of NADC, its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates and majority owned joint ventures (the “Corporation”) to afford full equal employment opportunity to all

Nowadays discrimination still exists throughout the world and in particular in the work and education sectors. “Discrimination stifles opportunities, wasting the human talent needed for economic progress, and accentuates social tensions and inequalities” (International Labour Organization). That’s why the existence and especially the persistence of racial or sexist discrimination have led to the introduction of new policies in many countries. Indeed, in order to fight the issue of discrimination and redress the injustices, the positive discrimination concept has been introduced. This term, also named affirmative action, was first used by President Kennedy in 1961 in the United States. Its goal is “to overcome disadvantage over and above whatever is required to prevent actual discrimination against minority groups” (E.Burney 1988: 1). In other words, this measure tries to give more to those who have less in order to put everyone on an equal footing.

Discrimination, prejudice, injustice and oppression all have ties to each other and impact our daily lives more than we may realize. When I completed this activity, I began to notice that this was happening more around me than I had thought. The log in Appendix A that I created was based on interactions that I had or that happened around me. I felt that documenting first-hand situations would be a better representation of things that I see and can reflect on. After documenting them, I began to realize how the things that some people say can be taken out of context or may have an impact on those around them more than they know. Oppression begins as a set of actions, behaviors, gestures or comments towards others then progresses to more from there (Mullaly, 2010).

We have conversations concerning race a lot in our daily lives, but how many of us can actually stand in front of a crowd and confidently define Race, Ethnicity, Racism, and Racist? This was one of the deep questions that Dar Mayweather asked that made me pause and really think about, the question, my answer, and everybody else’s answer as well. Only 1 or 2 people in the whole presentation room said that they could confidently stand in front of the room of people and define those words. Yet, over half of us, including me, raised our hands when he asked who has had conversations about race. Mr. Mayweather’s topic for the event on Monday November 27th in the Holman Success Center in room 203 was conversations on race and everything that entails. Diversity are differences that individuals have that make them unique from other people. Inclusion is being included and accepted in an activity or group, either in spite of or because of those differences. Prejudice views and statements put labels and pressure on individuals in our society to believe that it’s okay to make these judgments and that they have to act how these statements show they should. Prejudiced stereotypes, like girls are weak and all Jewish people are greedy are insulting and hurts those people’s self-esteem. Being bias, without reason and facts behind those views, causes unnecessary conflicts that could be harmful to our society. For example, a coach favoring a team member over others on a sports team because they

A salad bowl is not a form of blending, but a form of uniqueness that forms a whole in which America compares due to prejudice reasons towards immigrants. Many Immigrants face discrimination due to them not assimilating with the American Culture. The history of immigration goes back many years with many immigrants bringing their own cultural distinctiveness. The many reasons for immigrants to be discriminated against brought them many hardships and battles they had to face on a daily basis. It is these exact experiences of prejudice and discrimination of which helps shape their lives. Their pursuit of success is directly related to these endured hardships.

Being discriminated is probably the most humiliating and belittling thing that can happen to anyone in this day and age. Sometimes people emphasize the different types of discrimination and who can cause it, rather than focusing on the long-term effects of discrimination on someone's psyche. Nowadays, society has a variety of campaigns such as Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter. Not that I am saying that they do not matter because they do, but how can anyone campaign if the people they are campaigning for having problems one cannot see. Thinking about mental health problems, they are usually most common in high school students mainly because of stress caused by school. However, being discriminated against at any age becomes a stressful experience that can lead to anxiety and depression which are some of the many mental health issues. If anyone were to go around to ask how many have mental problems the numbers and answers would be astonishing. Mainly because people think that the only people who have illnesses show it on the outside, most do not pay attention the inside scars and issues many have. Racism can affect so many people in their everyday lives, people like Latinos/Hispanics, Caribbean's, African-Americans, Asian Americans even overseas in the United Kingdom. Being racially discriminated against can cause mental illness within people's mind and their lifestyles, starting with Asian American.

Discrimination comes in many forms. Discrimination and diversity are closely linked considering the reasons behind discrimination are what makes up the definition of diversity. Not only is discrimination made against gender, race, and religion, but it is also made of age, disabilities, appearance and in a lot of cases, women who are pregnant too. This is very much a reality for many employers. There are laws protecting acts of discrimination. This topic is so sensitive, that many employers implement diversity and discrimination into their mission statements. Many companies make it their practice to host training sessions to prevent discrimination from happening, then there are many companies who can’t afford such training for their
