Unit 306 - Promote Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in Work with Children & Young Adults.

Within a school, equality, diversity and inclusion is very important. It is their duty to make sure all children have equal access to the curriculum. Whether they are a different race, culture, gender or have a special need or disability, it is important that they are supported and have a right to participate and be treated equal; this is known as inclusion. As part of this it is important that schools and other professionals support and promote cultural diversity in schools and the wider society, breaking down any discriminatory barriers to learning.

Discrimination: “The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.” Discrimination was a huge issue back in day, but believe it or not it still continues today. In order to solve this problem we must unite and break down the causes of it. People shouldn’t define someone by their color or their race. One should treat others the way they would like to be treated.

Discrimination is overt behaviour toward another person that is different from the individual's usual behaviour toward others. It is differential treatment towards others. In our society, discrimination may take place in various forms such as in education, voting, employment, group membership, legal, occupational, political and social. It has been seen as unfair treatment or injurious distinctions, especially unfair treatment. The dominant group treats members of the minority group differently because of a variety of fears, fear of intermarriage, fear of job competition, fear of loss of political power and special privileges, fear of decline of their own social status should they associate with them.

Making a case for discrimination can be hard. According to the EEOC, discrimination is defined as “the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.” Our textbook defines discrimination as “the limitation or denial of employment opportunity based on or related to the protected class characteristics of persons.” Through reading the text, there are several ways to prove a case of discrimination. Discrimination can be proved through an indirect or direct method.

Discrimination. We all hear different stories about it. Some of us may have even already experienced it. But what does discrimination really mean? Who are the people affected by it? According to Merriam Webster, discrimination is the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people. Many people think discrimination is all about race and class, but many forget that it is about gender too. Now, do not just think about it as sex, being male or a female depending on biological features in the human body. Gender, according to the World Health Organization, “refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a society considers appropriate for men and women.”

Discrimination is an action which is an unfair treatment directed against someone. It can be based on many characteristics: age, sex, height, weight, skin color, clothing, speech, income, education, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, religion and politics.

What is discrimination? Discrimination is the prejudicial treatment of a different person or groups of people based on certain characteristics. In the United States there are seven protected characteristics or classes that are defined by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination Employment Act, and the American Disabilities Act that can not be discriminated against: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, and disability. This paper focuses on two of the protected classes: race and gender discrimination.

There are a number of criteria that are inappropriate and are prohibited. Discrimination in these terms can be defined as the less favorable treatment of a person or persons because of characteristics that are not relevant to the matter in hand.

You may know someone who has experienced unfair treatment based on a personal characteristic. Discrimination occurs when someone is denied opportunities on the basis of a personal characteristic that has no bearing on job performance.

Discrimination can easily be defined as the practice of unfair or unequal treatment of an individual or group based on certain characteristics. These characteristics can include: age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, national origin, race, religion, and sexual orientation. Discrimination can take on many forms and can be used at any time and people won’t even notice they are being discriminated against. Examples of discrimination can be either be bias of promotion, job assignment, retaliation, job hiring and various types of harassment.
