Discrimination Is Not A New Controversy

Discrimination has been a problem since the beginning of time. Discrimination is mentioned in many pieces of classical literature such as Shakespeare’s Othello. In this classical play the main character Othello is never truly accepted into the Venetian society because he is a Moor from Northern Africa. His skin color caused people to view him differently and also presented problems when he tried to find a wife. After he eventually found and married Desdemona her father Brabantio still did not approve of him; he said “She, in spite of nature, Of years, of country, credit, everything, To fall in love with what she feared to look on! It is a judgment maimed and most imperfect That will confess perfection so could err Against all rules of nature” (Act I, Scene 3). Brabantio saw this love as unnatural because he believes Desdemona would never fall in love with a black man who she was afraid to look upon. Before Othello married Desdemona Brabantio saw him as an honorable leader and great man, but after their marriage he accuses him of black magic and urges their marriage to be annulled by the Duke. This discrimination led to Othello’s doubt and self-conscience attitude which, ultimately leads to his demise at the end of the play. Discrimination continues to exist today as it did 400 years ago in Shakespeare’s time. Today people are still discriminated against and persecuted because of their race or their religious views.

Multiculturalism is a broad concept that can be depicted in many manner being dependent on the individual. Essentially, it is the act of permitting people with disparate ethnic backgrounds to reside peacefully in the same society. Despite international criticism, especially from European countries, Canada’s multicultural policy has been in existence since 1971 (Archived Annual Report). Even within Canada, there is sometimes dissent about whether this concept works. However, the multiculturalism policy has indeed proven itself to be successful by benefitting citizens in numerous ways by allowing Canada to accustom itself to globalization, and compared to other countries without a multiculturalism policy, Canadian society has progressed further.

Multiculturalism in Canada is a huge topic for many reasons most people that live in Canada come from different races such as Caucasian, Hispanic, African America, Asian, and Hindu. Almost all of these races immigrated from countries all across the world to either start a better life here, free education welfare, pension, unemployment insurance, also free health care. Usually Canada takes in 200,000 immigrants each year. “In 1971, Canada was the first country in

over the past century and a half, Canada has welcomed 15 million immigrants. Canada is also home to over one million aboriginal people, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. Canada has a national policy for multiculturalism and works to ensure that people’s customs and traditions are preserved and respected.

Canada is a country that is known globally as being accepting of all through it’s efforts in multiculturalism, a safe place to live for all, and a supportive country to it’s citizens in need. When you examine the history of Canada you can find both good examples to support the statements above as well as examples where Canada has missed the mark, especially when you consider the acceptance of First Nation’s people and their contribution to multiculturalism.

Canada is a country that is well-known for its official adoption of a multiculturalism policy. In fact, Canada was the first country in the world to implement multiculturalism in order to help immigrants integrate into the larger society. The official Canadian Multiculturalism Act stipulates that the “Constitution of Canada recognizes the importance of preserving and enhancing the multicultural heritage of Canadians” (Justice Laws 1985). The Multiculturalism Policy of Canada furthermore promotes “the understanding that multiculturalism reflects the cultural and racial diversity of Canadian society” (Justice Laws 1985). Indeed, “every ethnic group has the right to preserve and develop its own culture and values within the Canadian context” (On Multiculturalism 2013). Moreover, this policy encourages assisting “ethno-cultural minority communities to conduct activities

As we all know, Canada is a multicultural country. For some historical reasons, people in Canada come from different countries. Based on this factor, a multicultural policy plays a significant role in this society. But there has long been heated discussion emerging all the time. Some people claim that it is not a good policy, because it brings discrimination, racism and limited diversity. However, I believe that multiculturalism is a success in Canada.

No, the problem of discrimination has not gone away. Discriminations involving race and gender are still happening in the workforce everyday. The employers are given all the power. They determine workers pay, which determines their access to economic resources and power and overall their ability to obtain the good things in life.

Sport plays a crucial role for many people in improving quality of life. Sport in this day in age, can promote social inclusion, providing opportunities for all regardless of age, sex, colour, religion, age, physical ability, economic background with people and the world around them.

There are numerous difficulties that elders face in today's society, ranging from health cuts to retirement benefits, yet their discrimination in the workplace remains to be the number one problem that they face. Unfortunately, this phenomenon seems to go unanswered. Therefore, I Consummately accord with the statement that discrimination against older statesman must be made illegal. To begin with, such acts of injustice gives a wrong impression of the company as well as it dishonours the trust and loyalty of their older employees. Moreover, these people have invaluable insight on the business. For instance, Considering that an average employee over sixty has worked for fourth years of his life, he then has the experience of hireling three

JeWuana, you suggested that “discrimination still exists and should be addressed”. How do you think it should be addressed? Do you think that it will ever stop being a factor among individuals? I am a realist and realistically speaking, it will never end. People are flawed; therefore, systems are flawed. A lot of individuals cover up their beliefs by being politically correct. As a Human Resources Generalist, I have seen and heard of so many unethical practices within the profession committed by other colleagues that most people would be surprised. Regardless of differences, everyone should be treated fairly and held to the same standards. They only factors that should matter are qualifications and experience.

"He 's capable of more than just transferring the residents to their rooms! He can take care of anyone just as well as you can!" screamed my teacher to the head nurse. I was in a nursing program that only accepted ten students, only one was a guy. We trained in a nursing home and had to feed, change, and bathe the residents. He was assigned to assist a male nurse who was only allowed to help the residents move because he was the only "strong" one of the group. Apparently he wasn 't gentle or caring enough to help with anything else. He missed out on the learning experience that this program was suppose to give him. This was the first time I 've witnessed discrimination in the workplace. I was completely disgusted to say the least. I realized that discrimination is still very much alive and it doesn 't only affect women, but men too.

The dangers of discrimination is not just an issue of the past. Discrimination has followed us into the present day but people have been so accustomed to the way society has hidden them that they don 't realize what is happening everyday. Innocent young African Americans like Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown and countless others have lost their lives due to this injustice. Does the world ever think African American men are in trouble because their lives are on a risk because of their skin color? It began with slavery which was around the 1600’s when blacks were shipped to white people to have them work, clean, numbers of years, that ended on December 18, 1865. Since the beginning of slavery the world has been falling apart and continues to do
