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

Throughout generations it has been shown how different white and black people were treated completely different and had different experiences. As an example the difference between De Crevecoeur and Equiano, these two men had two types of lives and paths that would never cross. De Crevecoeur was a privileged white man who barely ever worried and Equiano was a slave that all he would ever do is worry and be afraid. De Crevecoeur and Equiano did have something in common, they were both trying to show life from their point of view. One person's point of view was how easy and optimistic his life was and the other wanted to show how fearful and anxious his life was.

What is segregation? Segregation is set apart or separation of people or things from others or from the main body or group. (dictionary.com) In the 1930s African Americans did not have the right to vote. The policy of segregation meant that blacks had their own churches, schools, football teams, and even their own cemeteries. The Great Depression also took place in the 1930s. The economic crisis of the 1930s, the Great Depression, is one of the most studied periods in American history. Racism was at a high point in the 1930s.

The definition of prejudice may vary among the different psychologist but most will agree that prejudice has something to do with prejudgment, typically negative, about a group. (Fiskie, 1998; Jones, 1997; Nelson, 2002 ). According to Plous (2003), Prejudice is not exactly considered an opinion, but an attitude which includes feeling such as hating the group, rather than believing they’re bad. Within psychology, we can link prejudice with discrimination and stereotyping (Plous, 2003). Although each may go together, they can be done separately. Prejudice and discrimination are most likely absent in a positive stereo type (Plous, 2013). For example describing an ethnic group as “family oriented”. Stereo typing does little to no harm without discrimination or prejudice. A generalized form of prejudice may lack discrimination and stereo types, such as being against foreigners.

Segregation is a separation of groups of people that have different characteristics, often resulting in inequality (Browne). An example of extreme segregation is the way nonwhites in South Africa were treated by the state’s legal system. This denies political and civil rights to the oppressed blacks which affects their living conditions (Browne).

Prejudice, a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or personal experience. The amount of prejudice differs from person to person, but no one is free from it. In the film, American History X, Derek is a great example of how prejudice someone can be. Derek agrees with the white power movement because he feels victimized and threatened by everyone who is not white, but in prison he learns his stereotypes are full of holes; from the film I learned there is no reason to hate one another based on race or stereotypes. Life is too short to live a life based on hate.

In the south a lot people worked hard to keep the jim crow laws - even though it was illegal. Segregation was a big problem in the south, especially Georgia, but Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter-Gault were about to desegregate the University of Georgia. Technically that should not have been a problem, seeing that segregation and Jim Crow laws were illegal, but while trying to be successful and earn an education they had endured horrible things. They were attacked both physically and mentally, yet they stayed defending their right to be there and learn.

Inequalities have been prevalent for a long time and they exist in many different forms. However, all humans are part of the same species and there are no major differences between people that affect their capabilities. Why is it then that inequalities form and some groups are seen as lesser beings? It might seem likely that economic power is the root cause as money is necessary in today’s world to survive, and having money means a better life, which creates an inequality between the poor and rich.
