Discrimination Controversy

Discrimination and prejudice are widely known in United States history. In the 1960's the civil rights movement demanded legislation and passed laws, which banned discrimination. Five decades later, it still continues in our society. Discrimination and prejudice occur when a group of people feel they are superior to another, and can be based on a person's color, race, national origin, religion, sex and gay couples.

As children grow up, they become the person they turn out to be because of experiences and the culture and society they grew up in. Nations are affected in the same sense because the people living in a nation affect how the nation is influenced and builds its character.

Discrimination is when someone has a bias opinion on a specific crowd of people due to their race, sex, religion, or order of rank. This basically goes hand in hand with the phrase judging a book by its cover meaning the person with the negative opinion will not give the other individual a fair chance for the reason being they are being stereotypical and not thinking of the other person’s talent, or character. A modern day example of discrimination would be if a male employer were to compensate a female employee a lower pay due to her gender. At some time in everyone’s life due to today society, we have all been victimized by discrimination. Whether it may be a dirty look from a random person, or the way you dress, talk, and even look.

Faith: faith gives people spiritual beliefs and in influences their cultural traditions and what they celebrate. Discrimination can happen when people assume that their beliefs and practices based on their faith are the rights ones and that everyone should believe in and so the same as them

Discrimination has many meaning and many different ways people can discriminate against others. Discriminations can be as simple as a person making a judgment against someone else by the way they dress or the way they speak or it can be the people are discriminated (out casted/left out) because they choose to be different or have a disability or different colour of skin or even religion. Discrimination is unfair treatment of a person action based on prejudice.

Discrimination is the act of someone treating another unfairly, unequal, or less favorably because of their race, gender, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. Discrimination affects people and can occur in many places. Discrimination happened during the civil war and made it hard to live through that time.

Dating back to several hundreds of years ago, people have always been discriminated against. In today’s society, one might think that discrimination is outdated, however, it happens more than a person might think. Stemming back from how a person was raised to what type of social situations they have been immersed in can result in some sort of discrimination or bias. Three physical characteristics are often times the root cause of most discrimination, race, gender, and age.

Discrimination comes in different forms.  It can be direct when someone’s gender, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, age, disability or being transgender is used as an explicit reason for treating them differently.  This is the kind of discrimination that people often recognize easily.  An example would be if a person is fired at work

Another legal case that was reviewed, and is a directly correlated to EEOC and Civil Rights discrimination issues is the Alaimo v. Thompsonville Fire District #2 and Collen Ann Reidy. In this case we again see Civil Rights Act violations as well as Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 under 29 USC § 791 and Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 violations (Phelan, 2015). Additionally, we see State of Connecticut Workers Compensation Retaliation Violations related to Conn. Gen. § 31-290a and Conn. Gen. § 31-76b. In this case we again see retaliation against Alaimo for he didn’t agree with a politicians plans not to build a new fire station. Instead of following the laws, statues, regulations and policies as they relate to an employee the Commissioners

Discrimination is often based on ignorance, prejudices and negative stereotypes. Because many people fear what seems strange or unknown, they react with suspicion or even violence to anyone whose appearance, culture or behavior is unfamiliar.

In the middle of this debate, we have the moderate. They tend to want to compromise between both views and try to take the golden mean of any political issue. A reflection of this compromising trait would be to take race and sex out of the equation and “considering socioeconomic status” (Potter 2013). Since the target of the Liberals is to help the disadvantaged, lower classes blacks and hispanics, then why not make is for all races in that class to help please the Conservative more since reverse discrimination “reverse discrimination” (Williams 2017). This can be seen in places like Oklahoma with their “State Question 759” where they made it illegal to take race, sex, color, national origin,religion, or sexual orientation...” into considering

Discrimination is defined as the unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice. One of the most infamous topics on discrimination in our world today is that of ethnicity. Due to recent tragic events, such as the September 11 attacks, most Americans have unfairly stereotyped Muslims and the religion of Islam. People fear what they do not understand; therefore, it is important to educate citizens about the views and beliefs of Muslims.

In a Worldwide community, each individual is considered more as a stereotype than a person. Because of this, many people are treated differently based on their skin, wealth, or education. However, one of the biggest stereotypes in today’s society is religious discrimination.

Religion is another main player in the field of discrimination. Over 7,000 christians were killed by Isis last year. Many people wish to ban muslims from even entering the U.S. Most wars throughout history have started from religious discrimination. Discrimination is

But not only does religion and social conformity of religion lead to racism and prejudice against other race but another major problem is religious discrimination against other religion for example, Muslim or Catholics. Religion is a major problem dealing with discrimination of other religions mostly as shown against Muslims, this is because many view their religion is the superior one and that all others are inferior or even not worth of being a religion. The main cause of this is believed to be from Christianity, as it is one of the major religion, many Christians believe that Christianity is the all superior religion and every other religion is inferior to it. Since ever single religion has their own views, beliefs and teachings, they all seem to oppose one another leading to the dislike and disapproval of all other
