Discrimination And Discrimination

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.

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

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.

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

Many of us would agree we live in an accepting and tolerating country or even world. We then remember how we ended up here, through wars, hate and discrimination. People can only assume the world has not improved completely, three authors/director had the same thought. Ursula K. Le Guin, Justice Brennan, and Lisa Gossels all agreed there were issues with our society and this included discrimination. Their books/documentary touches on aspects of tolerance and hate through fictional and real stories; “The Wife’s Story,” “Texas v. Johnson Majority Opinion,” and “My So-Called-Enemy” all deal with acceptance and discrimination. Discrimination and equality through race and other's opinions can be represented by court decisions, fictional stories, and documentaries about teenagers.

In America, there have been many problems with discrimination. The idea of slavery and discrimination has been with America for many many years. There have been protests to stop this kind of discrimination. Although equality in America has gotten better throughout the years, there are still problems against other races in this country

When companies try to make ads, they make in such a way to try and gain the attention of the people that the ad is directed towards. When they are being made there is a whole process that companies have to go through to make sure it is perfected to get the most value out of it. But, once published to the public some ads send very unintended for feelings that can come in many different ways, like being racist, or degrading to a certain culture or group of people. The ads that are going to be focused on are racist ads towards African American people. These ads fail to represent their ethnicity because in many ways it is degrading, showing that they are lesser than others. It is important to analyze in more depth what a group may represent and not just judge something based on first thoughts, but rather, look and dig deeper into what and how big of a significance it may have or is trying to say.

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.

According to Merriam-Webster society is defined as “Group working together or periodically meeting because of common interests, beliefs or profession.” Morris Ginsberg, a British sociologist, on the other hand, defines society as “a collection of individuals united by certain relations or mode of behavior which mark them off from others who do not enter into these relations or who differ from them in behavior.” Ginsberg was the one who developed the idea and concepts of the human discipline. The definition of society differs from person to person but it usually means that each race, religion, and gender can coexist with each other and make the world a better place to live. Every move, step, or decision has a major impact on multiple lives and so does racism, drug abuse, and crime.

In the past several decades we have been able to illuminate privilege and oppression and uncover who is benefiting and who is suffering from these institutionalized social preferences. This had led the world to be able to give names to discrimination: racism, transphobia, classism, colonialism, classism, and heterosexism just to name a few. Intersectionality is the theory that one can have multiple discriminations that mitigate each other. It puts forward the idea of differing identities and experiences and how those illustrate the complexities of prejudices one can face. Crenshaw gave the example, if feminism benefits white women, and anti-racism benefits black men, what assistance do black women receive?

The ADA many would hope would stop the discrimination and prejudice that people with disabilities endure. Unfortunately, even with laws it still happens. People with disabilities have to go through obstacles that they shouldn't have to. The practice of having educational classes about those with disabilities and policies that enforce people and organizations to accommodate would improve equity for those with disabilities.

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.

In the first place what is discrimination is different type of categories within people like race, age, gender, and religion. In article by Mother Jones “talk about a player name Michael Sam” but Sam wanted to let people know about his life and not tell no one about his sexual orientation wanted. So Michael Sam announced that he was gay to his college football team members they all know that he was gay and did not have any issue about it. Many football players say that he was a true all American defensive end he played evert one else. The sports like every other guys do. There are some state laws that discriminate against gay employees and some of the NFL teams are sort within the state or local law prohibiting.

In America, there is currently a nationwide agreement that our race relations are in a poor state, including the racial division that exists between U.S. citizens, law enforcement officers, and the criminal justice system. With help from the media, the exploitation of this division becomes worse and a majority of the blame is placed on the officers and criminal justice system. But the question that remains is at what point is discrimination justifiable and the use of it to bring a criminal to justice. To help explain the answer to this question, we have to examine the early history of the use of discrimination, causes, example cases, when it is justifiable, and the consequences of such actions.

The first event that I felt contained implications regarding racism, stereotyping, or discrimination was the 2016 presidential election. This one event sent ripples in many states, cities, and school districts and schools every day after the election we had students crying. Myself and the staff would be like what is wrong to the students. The students would respond with President Donald Trump is going to send us back to Africa would be the response from African American students. The English Language Learner (ELL) students would say the same thing and be noticeably scared. There were African American students and students of color and other races and ethnicities wondering if they would be taken out of school and sent back to Africa and other countries. This started when the republican candidate running for president Donald Trump supporters assumed he would send people away because of his slogan make America great again. Donald Trump did not say he would send people back but a lot of people who voted for him assumed he would. In a report written by Amy X. Wang children have said
