Discrimination : The Beauty Of Society

The Kids at Ruth’s school truly didn’t like her just because she was Jewish. In high school, Ruth was cast as an ensemble dancer for a school musical, but due to the other students saying they didn’t want to have to dance next to a Jew, Ruth dropped out. (McBride P.105)

People in dominant groups often perpetuate discrimination because it provides them separation and privilege. It is something that people have always done in order to exploit another group for personal gain. However; racism is a much newer concept that was built off that idea. It allowed groups of people to conquer one another, enslave them, take their territory, and oppress them. Now, to answer your question, the way to change racism is to be an ally and identify one's own privilege. Being an ally gives individuals the power to spread awareness and to educate them on the social construction of racism. These passionate people are the heartbeat for the movement to end racism. And no, simply not identifying ones race is not enough. Color blindness

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.

The example is always black. A statement that pretty much summed up what 's wrong with America today. Every time you turn on the news, you see something negative about minorities. The white population commits the same crimes and the minorities, but the minorities are I totally agree with Marc Lamont Hill 's views on the racism that still exists in the world. Minorities are unfairly targeted on a regular basis. Whether they are unfairly treated in the workplace,school systems, or by the police department, it seems to be getting worse every day. The recent rash of police shooting of unarmed minorities is clear evidence of this.

In 1965 at Howard University, President Johnson gave a speech where he addressed the topic of Affirmative Action stating:

In the United States today discrimination is still an issue in society. As a society progress has definitely been made, but it has never fully gone away. Some of the most discriminatory action takes place in the American justice system. Young minority males between the ages of 25-29 are subject to being treated the most unfairly while whites of the same age are still being treated better than any race in this country. African American and Hispanic males are being incarcerated at higher rates than white males in America. Not only are minorities being incarcerated more, but also they are subject to harsher sentencing terms, fall victim to police racial profiling, and have disparities in the war on drugs. Also whites are still the dominant

Today, the world is switching; about 7.5 billions of population all around the world desire to increase their power, competing with America. In these years of change and challenges, the promise for America to maintain our power and influence does not exist anywhere. Now, the only way to win through this adversity, and to achieve ultimate posterity is to truly remove discrimination among people, which is still existed in many forms in our society. For this end, we must be knitted together as one man. We must not exclude certain people because they are somehow different from us. We must not ignore neglected and discriminated people for our shame. We must accept every people with open arms without any hesitation inside our mind. We must uphold

Even today discrimination still is happening. Current day events about discrimination have been all over the internet. Some people are being picked on, have been in fights, or even have been killed because of their gender, race, or being disabled. It will probably still be around for many more decades to come.

Discrimination not only affects individual in our society, who are not given the same life chances as everyone else but is also affects society itself.

The United States is the superpower on this globe now. It is a developed country with diversified cultures such as Asian, European, African, and etc.. America has a dominating power over the economy, education, politics, military and culture all around the world. Also, it has advanced industries, ideas and some of the smartest scientist. According to editor Robert Schlesinger in the news "The U.S. entered 2016 with an estimated population of 322,762,018 according to an end-of-year estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau, and white people are 77 percent of the population." In the other words, 23 percent different races are in the U.S., which makes racial discrimination a big problem in American society. In the other words, 23 percent different

America is a diverse place full of people of all different ethnicities and sexual. However, the social division that separates Americans is a very real and significant issue today. Some of the things people struggle with because of this separation are lack of job opportunities, lower education levels, or less security than others. Every American has a different outlook on these topics, a lot of which cause problems for citizens who are seen as different or wrong. Social division in America is a major problem that needs to be addressed, especially because of the challenges that people face each day due to racism, homophobia, and wealth inequality.

Throughout history and all around the world discrimination has taken its stance on many people in different countries. It takes place every day whether it is on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, beliefs or anything that makes a person different from another. A specific discrimination happens in today’s society and in the workplace. It seems that women who are trained and educated equally aren’t paid the exact amount as their male counterparts. There is not a specific reason why it is a problem in the world, especially the United States but the issue can date back to the Industrial Revolution. For hundreds of years, mankind has not thought of the brilliant idea of establishing equal pay amongst men and women. Women are the main if not

Discrimination occurs everywhere. Unfair and unequal treatment of a person or group based on certain characteristics, or membership in a protected class, such as race, sex, religion, national origin and immigrant status is called discrimination. For instance, individual or groups are discriminated through offensive jokes, insults, name calling or a landlord refuses to rent apartments to immigrants in Ney York City. Discrimination is often defined based on recognition and understanding of the difference between two grounds or categories. It is a prejudicial and riotous treatment through either verbally or physically. New York City Commission on Human Rights has been working against any kinds of discrimination since the long history. New York City Commission on Human Rights has recognized some grounds of discrimination based on protected class in New York City.

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Discrimination has been going on for generations among generations. Many years ago people of different races were divided from each other. Public places were segregated, colored people had to use specific water fountains, schools were segregated, and blacks had to sit at the back of the buses. If they were to disobey, then there would be consequences and repercussions. Equality was a figment of imagination, a dream the minority groups had. Throughout the years racism has decreased and many things pertaining to racism were made illegal, but that doesn’t mean racism disappeared. If people were to resume racist behaviors, that can lead the world back to the days of inequality.

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
