Discrimination And Discrimination

Yes, this scenario is a reportable injury. It is a reportable injury because Karen Kite was outside of her jobsite when she slipped and fell.

The ADA intended to prohibit discrimination due to the disability. The ADA also mandated to provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities. The US government enforced full participation, inclusion, and integration of people with disabilities in all levels of society. Even with the passing of the ADA people with disabilities still faced stereotypes of people with disabilities. In 2010 Rosa’s Law became a law and changed many federal statutes that referred to ‘mental retardation’ to make them refer to it as an ‘intellectual disability’. This is just one of the laws that was passed to help give people with disabilities a sense of normalcy. For example, some of the other laws were The Help Americans Vote Act (HAVA) in 2002 and the Fair Labor Standards Act

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.

We are all members of the human race and discrimination is an injustice; we must do something about it. For example, we can help who ever needs our help no matter what they look like. Starving people in our own country need food and medicine to live and we can give that to them even though they might look different than us, and even though they might have different skin than us. Color or race shouldn't stop us from saving someone's lives and caring for the sick and poor. Another example of discrimination in our world, is how some people don't get the same things as someone else because they look different. Even though someone looks different, it doesn't mean that they are different in a bad way and they shouldn't be put in the back of the kitchen

When it comes to data collection bias, prejudice, and discrimination are similar, there is a positive as well as a negative aspect associated with it. It depends upon a person’s perspective on what they think usually in a way considered to be unfair. Bias in research will affect the population when a particular group of the intended population is less likely to be included than others. On public TV, anchorpersons, commentators and interviewers are ethically required to demonstrate fair and equitable behavior, to avoid the expression of their own personal views and preferences (Babad, & Peer, 2010). For instance, choosing a known group with a particular background is known to be a fact in racial bias. When people watch or hear the news they may not be knowledgeable about the issues discussed.

Discrimination comes in a number of forms. We have age discrimination, employment or job discrimination, racial discrimination, gender discrimination, reverse discrimination, sexual discrimination, and others. Prejudice is a negative attitude toward a socially defined group and toward any person perceived to be a member of that group (Burgess, 2003). The purpose of her research was to talk about discrimination and prejudices and the affect they have on our day to day lives. She also defines prejudice and discrimination and takes a look at their relationship to stereotyping and racism. According to Burgess, stereotyping often leads to prejudice and discrimination, with its definition almost mirroring that of prejudice. Stereotypes or characterizations are generalizations or assumptions that people make about the characteristics of all members of a group, based on an image, often wrong, about what people in that group are like. We are told that it does not allow for individuals to be different, but names them all as one group (Burgess, 2003). Much as her research does, I’d like to discuss the different types of discrimination and prejudice and how we might eliminate it.

For many years prejudice have been dominant throughout American history. Prejudice refers to a negative attitude toward and entire category of people, such as a racial or ethnic minority, while discrimination refers to behaviors directly to an individual and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reason. (Schaefer, 2010) When people hear the word prejudice, they already know it’s a Black in society today. Our main goal is to remember how important it is that prejudice is a problem in society today, and it’s beyond race. For example, migration would be classified as a social conflict; especially if any citizens see that their lives will be threatened.

Discrimination is typically defined as the practice of treating a person differently from other people or groups of people. In terms of economics, discrimination occurs when people with similar economic characteristics, experience different economic outcomes due to their race, sex or other noneconomic attributes. For instance, a black worker whose skills and experience is identical to those of a white worker but receives a much lower wage is a victim of discrimination. A country will not be operating efficiently if discrimination still exists in the society. If enough people have prejudices against certain racial groups or against anyone with any particular characteristic, the market will definitely respond to those preferences. Discrimination is a major issue that we have to deal with whether we like it or not.

The USA is the land of opportunities. However some people do not want to use them, but

Diversity is a very valuable component within establishments like corporations and academic institutions such as colleges, universities, or graduate schools. This diversity aspect within our society has been over shadowed by discrimination, prejudice and racism. Centuries ago the world knew the idea of elitism. We as a human race had divided ourselves into groups for what was believed to be the greater purpose of the divine resolve or even that of a social Darwinism like policy that made those of Caucasian/ Anglo-Saxon origin to be the greater race and everyone one else whether they be of African, Native American, Asian or Spanish descent seen as less than. This is mentioned only to bring up the status at which many minorities are at today. Blacks and Hispanics in the work force and some fields of academia are still underrepresented and are treated unfairly today. According to author Barbra Mackinnon, “In 2004, Black men earned only 74.5 percent and Hispanic men only 63.2 percent of what white men earned” (Mackinnon). This discrimination doesn’t just stop at race but goes as far as gender as well in which we have made clear the inequities between men and women in employment opportunity and wages. Walls of inequality are set up are around various groups and in this day and age one of the best standards by which we can all have equal opportunity is education. Education has provided the perfect measuring stick to which the intellectual mind is the only deciding factor

Historian Robin DG Kelley once said, “[Racism] is not how you look, it is how people assign meaning to how you look”. In historian Kelley's interview, he directly touches upon discrimination as a concern society neglects to negotiate. Many individuals of color are perceived differently due to their pigment. Racism has been a growing concern in the United States for decades now, however, no significant progress is made by political officials in addressing it, making it a hotly debated, contagious topic in society. However, when one mentions inequalities and racism, people may look at it in terms of a justice problem, but not much regards is given to how racism and inequalities impact people of pigment in other aspects of their lives. Not

Lastly this story is when I went over to my aunt's house who is also hispanic, this happened a year ago and since then she feels uncomfortable going and shopping because she feels like she’s going to get discriminated by her skin color or her ethnicity. Myself went over her house yesterday to interview her about how her experience, it was shocking to hear what she had to say. it's sad to think that people feel okay to say these types of words when in reality it's not. Because for this matter there are people out here who feel like they should just eb g

Racism is a term that describes the injustice and antagonization of a certain race, whereas discrimination is the unjust and prejudicial treatment towards people or things of a different category or in a sense, the minorities, especially towards race, age, and sexuality. These heinous and prejudicial treatments are happening all over the world ever since the beginning of civilization, with the example of Jewish people being enslaved in ancient Egypt. It can even allude to you or people around you as racism and discrimination can happen to anyone. With these cruel treatments, there are questions of if discrimination and racism will always be a part of the human condition or can they be eradicated from society. I believe, realistically,

Ultimately, health inequity will persist as long as structural oppression of racial minorities persist in healthcare. Therefore, tackling the prevalence of structural racism in health settings could incite change. The most practical and impactful avenue for reducing the racial health disparity lies in the employment and training of healthcare professionals. It can be beneficial to explore and target larger institutional issues, such as government law and policy, but, it is important to realize that institutions are made from individuals; therefore, when individual behavior is corrected, institutions should follow suit. At the onset of their careers, most healthcare professionals take an oath, pledging to treat all patients, no matter, race, color or creed, to the best of their ability. However, it is evident that this is not always upheld, mainly through forces of oppression outside their conscious control. In Five Faces of Oppression, Young stated that marginalization may be the most dangerous form of oppression (Young, 1990). A social group is marginalized when their people are excluded in society, meaning that their skills and attributes are deemed useless and insignificant in the greater community. To an extent, this is seen in the healthcare system with the underrepresentation of racial minorities in the medical field. Highly qualified people of color are denied positions at far greater rates than their White peers and this occurs in almost every profession (Merchant

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
