Discrimination Vs Discrimination

This article shows some cruel comments that took me back to the time i was bullied. The article made me realized that i wasnt alone. there are lots of people out in the world who are being bullied and can't do anything about it. This kid name Alex Libby from the documentary “Bully,” has been having a nightmare for a long time. He’s only 12 years old but has been bullied at Sioux City, Iowa for being called “fish face.” Alex Libby was premature and was diagnosed with a mid version of autism and attention deficit disorder. The cause of this caused him to have difficulty and socialize with others and in the class. Jackie (Alex’s mom), believed that his premature birth was the reason why he was bullied. In the documentary, it showed that on his first day of seventh grade, Alex was already receiving death threats from the students that was waiting for the bus, “people think that I’m different. I’m not normal. Most kids don’t want to be around me. I feel like I belong somewhere else”. This quote shows that, no matter what you like you will still be bullied. With the mean comments being made, it can lead the victim (person being bullied) to depression which can lead to suicide later

Discrimination in our communities take many forms, but it is solely based on people’s race, gender, religion, weight, nationality, handicap, sexual preference and even height (The End). People discriminate in schools, they judge people by the way they look. Patients in hospitals will not let doctors to treat them usually because of the color. In some neighborhoods, landlords will not rent people a house because of their nationality. Model agencies do not hire models that do not meet their standards. Hollywood will not make an asian actor or actress the main character of a movie/show.

Why do you feel that people still feel disadvantaged even though their incomes are rising and housing circumstances have improved?

Racism is very much still alive in the United States and it affects all people, but mainly one certain group. Racism destroys dreams and hopes for the victims that have been discriminated against and have sadly lost their lives as well. African Americans have less opportunities and chances to prove that they can also do good to some to the word instead of stereotypical judging them. White Americans, not all but the racist only, most likely believe that if you are different you have no power. Many white Americans might also believe that they are superior which means that they have the “power” to do or say whatever they feel like they can to other people of color. They must not have been taught manners because “if you do not have anything nice to say then do not say anything at all”. Most of the racism that still occurs happens most often in the southern states because of the history that is there.

Bringing back when I was in elementary/middle school at Soaring Heights Charter School. There were a lot of bullies in my school. I was one of the kids being bullied. I was mainly bullied because of my learning disability. I was also bullied because I was really short back then as well as doing nasty habits. Because of these reasons, I had limited friends and had social issues with talking and making friends.

I chose discrimination and prejudice for my multicultural paper, because I feel that discrimination and prejudice is the main reason for all the hate in the world. People are discriminated against because of reasons such as race, ethnicity, religion, looks, sex, sexual orientation, class, and other ridiculous reasons. I feel that if discrimination could be eradicated, then this world would be a peaceful place to live. Discrimination has been plaguing this world since the beginning of time. I am sure there was prejudice as Homo sapiens started interbreeding with Neanderthals. I could picture Homo sapiens parents telling their children to stay

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

A time in my life where I had been involved and observed a bullying incident was in grade 6. I had a best friend named Katie, she was amazingly weird and unique. I have known her since grade 3 and we were the closest of friends, she wasn’t the type to pick on or bully people and she loved making friends and was very social. One day at recess she tried making friends with the “popular kids”, they thought she was weird and started bullying her verbally, they called her so many things it made a big impact on her and she became anti-social and not the girl I met and became best friends with… as a best friend I couldn’t just stand there and watch so I went up to all 20 or so “popular kids”, I spoke my mind and told them to stop, because of that

I feel like discrimination is very wrong. I think the way that whites treated the blacks like they just

The percentage of whites with obesity are much lower than the other ethnicities because white families tend to eat healthier due to a higher income rate. Studies show that in low income neighborhoods contain far less grocery stores and an abundant amount fast food restaurants. This is only half of the problem, even if there are grocery stores available, an income large enough to afford real healthy food, whilst a place to live, is not easily come by in certain regions. Statistics show that the percentage of Whites living below poverty line is a mere 9% while Latinos (20%) and blacks (22%) show numbers over twice the amount. What could be causing such a large Wage Gap? In 2010, White Americans held 88% of the wealth and only 64% of the population where as Black Americans were 2.7% of the wealth and 13% of the population. In 2003 the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Job Applicants with White sounding names got one callback for every ten resumes while those with African-American sounding names got one callback for every fifteen resumes sent out. Lack of call backs on resumes for ‘Ethnic Names’ all the way to Less pay for the Equal work are only two reasons why the Black American community is showing such alarming obesity rates. Getting rid of Workplace discrimination is the First step to solving the large wage gap in the United States.

“The only difference between man and man all the world over is one of degree, and not of kind, even as there is between trees of the same species. Where in is the cause for anger, envy, or discrimination?” (Gandhi). The only difference between each person is personality; each individual has something to offer. Many people judge others based on first impressions because usually it is the only time they will see the person in their life. They usually do not want to take time out of their day to get to know the person they just have met. Appearance plays a huge part in how people will make opinions on others. Throughout history, Europeans have considered themselves superior to Africans; therefore, Europeans enslaved the Africans to do their

Everyday an employee lives different experiences at the workplace. Discrimination is one of the biggest issues most employees unfortunately have to deal with. But what is discrimination? Discrimination is the treatment of a person or group of people differently. Most of the times this treatment is worse than the other people are usually treated. There are different types of discrimination, but the one I will be discussing is employment discrimination. Employment discrimination is when an employee is mistreated by an employer based in sexual orientation, age, religion, gender, origin, race, and disability. Discrimination is not a new issue in society, it’s been a concern for a long time. Personally, I think discrimination has increased with technology. Social media plays an important role regarding to discrimination. There are different discrimination cases everyday in everywhere but nowadays, there are certain federal law that protects workers who suffer discrimination. This is why if an employee feels is being discriminated, he or she has the right to file a complaint against the employer. Sometimes employees are scared or tired of experiencing discrimination, and as a result they decrease their performance at work. Employees deserve and have the right to being working without fear of being harassed by coworkers, managers or bosses.

Discrimination, Such a large topic it can happen to whites, blacks or women. It can also happen to farmers. A person may think why because without farmers we would starve. As part of a new era of civil rights, people have worked to make it stop.

Both of these characters have something they do to cope with what makes them different. And this is what a majority of people do for their differences. People that get bullied for the reason of what makes them different either fight back or take actions to feel “normal”. There are people who, to stop the discrimination against them actually stop or change what makes them different. Some people think that humans need to be the same when it is nearly improbable that humans would all act the same. And people shouldn’t be judging others because of physical or belief based differences. It is almost unavoidable at this point, there is discrimination everywhere. But even with discrimination in existence anyone can help the people being discriminated. Or if they are being discriminated, they can help themselves by using coping mechanisms like what was found in the stories.
