Race, Age, And Gender Discrimination

Discrimination is when an individual or group of people are treated more or less favorably than others.

What is discrimination you ask well it is the treatment or consideration of, or making

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.

Discrimination: Discrimination in itself is purposeful exclusion of an individual or group based on specific characteristics. It could be direct, indirect or combined. People that are already vulnerable in most cases find it have to bounce back from it.

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 about treating a person/people differently because of their age, religion, gender and race. The Equality Act 2010 protects all

Discrimination is treating someone differently, often unfairly, because he/she is a part of a specific group, class or category of people. For instance, a girl named Wu Qing in China was discriminated against and could not find a job because how her body was a bit chubby and the scars in her face from an accident in her early childhood. Even though she was kind and used to be straight-A student, she had no friends. Now, she is looking for selling her kidney in order to pay the plastic surgery fee. Discrimination can change a person from innocent to evil is an important theme in the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley. Even though

America is filled with thousands upon thousands of affirmative action groups all with their own specific motivation to make a difference. Although laws have been put in place to end this, there are still many instances in which countless people are affected by modern day discrimination. Race, sex, and religious discrimination are arguable the three most prevalent forms of these issues still ongoing today. My assigned roundtable’s topic was on sex discrimination specifically. We were asked to focus the recent hiring practices of the Hooters restaurant chain. What was unique to this case was that men were the gender side claiming inequality in hiring practices. To accurately explain this issue we will look at the men’s rights groups’ claims, the company’s claims, and women’s rights group’s claims. I will look at my position I was assigned, the women’s law coalition, and draw conclusions when assessing their positions in regard to the Bona fide occupational qualifications.

What is discrimination and why is it such an issue? Discrimination is something that is a major problem that mainly deals with race, religion, and gender. Over the years discrimination has improved, but it is still a controversial topic.

Social injustices are unfortunately still prevalent in today’s modern society. Racism has come a far way due to many social movements, however it still remains ingrained and institutionalized in various forms. Race is a cause of political and economic interest who stratified groups in order to gain more power. The government created social regulations to prevent social inequalities due to race, class, and gender to take place. Despite social regulations racism still is a part of out present day society. Article 34 by Christine Williams discussed discrimination in the forms of class, gender, and race to women in particular. Stratification leads to racial and gender discrimination in companies towards employees and customers. This is an analysis of discrimination in the workforce to colored woman as well as businesses discrimination to colored consumers.

Discrimination in the workplace occurs when an employee experiences harsh or unfair treatment due to their race, religion, national origin, disabled or veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics. Discrimination is one of the biggest problems people face in the workplace and it must be dealt with forcefully.

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton said, “We have come a long way from the days of slavery, but in 2014, discrimination and inequality still saturate our society in modern ways”. This quote rings true where equality in the workplace is concerned. In Toni Cade Bambara’s short story “The Lesson”, we see what social discrimination looks like through the eyes of children who are observing a wealthier part of town. In their eyes, they see and injustice and question why it is not being altered into something centered more on equality and equal opportunity. Toni Cade Bambara’s story “The Lesson” is written to make a point about racial discrimination in the workplace and social inequality.

Our group research is based on age and gender discrimination in the workplace which involved study in men and women, also level of age between 18 years old until 30 years old and 31 years old and above years old. We have conducted a survey based on questionnaires which were given to 20 respondents with ratio; 10:10 of male and female; 10:10 of level of age between 18 years old until 30 years old and 31 years old and above years old; who are currently employed. Through the research that we have done, we conclude that some of the respondents have experienced age and gender discrimination.

In biopsychosocial theory, discrimination functions as a catalyst for the stress that results in negative health outcomes (Clark, et al., 1999). However, there has been little research, to date, that has examined gender and racial discrimination’s effects on Black women’s health engagement strategies. Studies have found that stress affects food choices and engagement in physical activity (Bjorntorp, 2000; Dallman et al., 2005; Moore-Green et al., 2012; Tryon et al., 2013). For example, Moore-Green et al. found that stress decreased physical activity engagement for African American women. A small amount of research has examined the ways in which racism affects health outcomes such as cardiovascular health in African American men and women (e.g., Guyll, et al.,2003; Williams, Neighbors, & Jackson, 2003). Virtually no research (e.g., Moradi & Subich, 2002) has focused on sexism and racism’s roles in affecting Black women’s health outcomes. Nevertheless, racism and sexism have been identified as critical features of Black women’s lived experiences (Brown, 2003). Media is mainstream children are beginning to use technology at two years old. Which make Black women self-identity began during their childhood. Which make mothers to strive harder to shield their Black daughter from harshness of media. One of the issues is the roots from the time this Black girl was a child. One-way African American women try to help their daughters stand straight in the crooked room is by telling

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.
