When in a group of people some individual doesn’t treat some people equally and behaves very badly and think in a negative way about other people, this is called discrimination. This is one of the major problems which the whole world is facing. The purpose of my research is to study the various aspects and various types of discrimination and then find out who all are and how they are getting effected by this discrimination and then I will come up with dome recommendations to solve this problem.
People don’t treat other people equally and treat them in a worse way which is not acceptable in the society. It also involves the reaction and interaction of one individual towards the other. It also involves stopping individual from new

in the group. And in this to way to get extra benefits for themselves they do discrimination against others.
In social competition people focuses on their social esteem. They want to have better social status in the society and that’s why they discriminate others and try to put negative effects on others’ social status.
The third one is consensual discrimination in which there are different hierarchies in the group and these hierarchies are on the basis of status. There will be some high status people and some low status people. In this type of discrimination a person favors the high status people because they belong to high status category.
There is an organization called United Nations Human Rights Council in which many nations are contributing and working in a common direction to end discrimination of all forms.
Types of discrimination and their effects
As we have already discrimination is based on many reasons and on the basis of that we have divided discrimination into various types. We will discuss all the types of discrimination in the world and we will show the negative effects of these discrimination types:
Age Discrimination
Age discrimination is not behaving properly to a person on the basis of his age. There are some set of beliefs, rules and values which justify this age discrimination. This age discrimination is generally done towards
One of the main causes of discrimination is the fear and lack of understanding of others because they are different. In order to prevent discrimination it is important to value people and treat them differently in order to meet their different needs.
There are lots of potential effects related to discrimination. It includes things like disempowerment, low self-esteem and self-identity and also marginalisation. I am now going to explain these effects and connect them with a case study.
In this paper I will discuss what happens when we allow biases and prejudice to affect our actions toward others. I will then conclude my paper with what we can do to prevent or eliminate discrimination.
Preventive measures- Racial discrimination can be prevented be having an open mind and not judging a person by anything other than there qualifications. However, some people have a hard time doing this so there are some preventive measures out there to make sure no one gets discriminated against. The main organization is the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, which was started in 1965. Throughout its existence, the commission has focused on but one simply stated mission: eliminate illegal discrimination from the workplace. To accomplish that goal various approaches, some dictated by statutory limitations and some by philosophical and managerial considerations have been employed. This publication will address in particular how three influences explain many of the decisions affecting how the commission accomplishes its mission (EEOC,
Discrimination: the unjust or prejudicial of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race age, or sex. Through different cultures this has one problem; that has yet to find a solution which is why, after how many hundreds of years. Societies have not and will not find a way to bridge the gap. Due to the cultural ignorance and being ill-informed with the right information of another’s culture. The people of this great planet will not have the key to lock that door of hatred.
Discrimination, prejudice, and inequality are problems are nation is facing from the East to the West Coast. Being prejudice is making a judgmental accusation beforehand on an individual based on certain factors. Discrimination and being prejudice fall hand and hand with another. Discrimination is acting out on being prejudice; changing behaviors, actions, or treatment towards a person. It is believed that being prejudice is an inherited aversion, but psychologist have discredited that motion. Psychologist believe there are four main reasons for ethnic discrimination. Their studies show egoism, influence of tradition, economic advantages, and psychological needs are the source of discrimination.
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.
Abstract- Racial discrimination happens all the time and most of us are unaware of it. The most common place for this to happen is in the workplace. Now people can be discriminated against because of their race, religion, or any other numerous things. Also, discrimination can occur during the job interview or even after you got the job. This paper will shoe the effects of racial discrimination and how it can be prevented. In addition there are some very important laws that deal specifically with discrimination, like the NAACP or Affirmative Action. These both will be discussed.
What is discrimination you ask well it is the treatment or consideration of, or making
Our environment is constantly becoming altered and inhabitants are creating innovations to refine themselves and the community. The society in which we exist murmurs about each other’s abnormalities and flaws. Discrimination is the rejection of one’s state of being or beliefs and will be passed down throughout every generation.
One of the most important problems of social life is the economic, social, cultural, demographic, etc. discrimination due to their different characteristics. Discrimination, often seen as one of the main problems of underdeveloped societies, is now seen in developing or developed countries, not only due to economic reasons. As the issue of discrimination, which is formed by economic, social or other factors, is personal, social consequences also have to be emphasized as a problem to be solved. In different areas, discrimination that researchers are working on is examined in
Discrimination comes in all forms. There is age discrimination, employment or job discrimination, racial discrimination, gender discrimination, reverse discrimination, sexual discrimination, and then there is also positive discrimination such as a guy letting an attractive woman out in traffic; he is then positively discriminating against her. Prejudice is a negative attitude toward a socially defined group and toward any person perceived to be a member of that group. The purpose of my research is to talk about discrimination and prejudices and how they affect our day to day lives. In addition to defining prejudice and discrimination, I will look at their relationship to stereotyping and racism. Stereotyping often leads to prejudice and discrimination, its definition almost mirroring that of prejudice. Stereotypes or characterizations are generalizations or assumptions that people make about the characteristics of all members of a group, based on an image, often wrong, about what people in that group are like. It does not allow for individuals to be different, but names them all as one group (Burgess). Within this assignment I will be talking about the different types of discrimination and prejudice, from different perspectives, along with my personal thoughts on the subject. I will also be looking at ways by which to eradicate it from our daily lives as much as possible. I would also like to take a look at the civil and criminal justice system to see why the term
Age discrimination is mainly toward the older (60 +) and younger (14-17) people in their early teens. Many Americans have been fired, forced into retirement, or turned down from a job due to their age. Older age employers are discriminated against in the workplace because of appearance and their ability to do the work required is believed to slow. Employers are more likely to hire a person who is much younger and more attractive than an elderly person. Also, employers want to employ people who are able to do the work required. This is another way in which older people are discriminated against even though they may be very capable to do the job. “The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs and activities
Workplace discrimination is not only ethically wrong but it also causes great expenses to the employer. It may result in the high rate of turnover, low commitment, productivity and sometimes
Each time, I try to understand society; I fail miserably to know what it means? Does it make lives of people easier or more difficult? Do we really need to live in society? Despite having said these all when someone would ask me “Can you imagine living alone for your entire life with no family, friends, neighbors or not even a single person?” My answer would be “No”. The chance of survival is greater when we live in group or society because we help each other, even though at times we have differences with each other. This is the beauty of society. But this wonderful concept of living in society also has an extremely ugly side as well. The discrimination as discussed in Kindred novel is omnipresent. The world is said to be progressing towards new generation and believes in global citizenship where equality among the races and gender would exist. But this is thinking of some progressive thinkers and for me this thinking is limited to thoughts alone, it is hypothetical. This is because discrimination holds deep roots to the core of the society. It cannot be uprooted from the minds of all individual because they don’t want to say that their beliefs are wrong and hence are too stubborn to change readily. It takes the time to realize what they had been doing and following for a long time is incorrect.
