How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? “Discrimination is the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons” (Schaefer, 2012). If you are denied something, purly based ony our appearance or background you are being discriminated against. In life everyone is biased to something they have been taught, it might be race, gender, anything that might make someone different from them. The differences with discrimination verses prejudice and stereotyping is that Prejudice is the bias created throughtout life with steotyping or built in prejudices, but applying or acting on those beleifs and thoughts are what makes discrimination different.

How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? Discrimination is a result of prejudice. Prejudice can be broken down to say people pre-judge, becoming a prejudice that turns into discrimination. When people pre-judge without having all of the facts, or knowing the ways of a certain people, they start a horrible ball rolling which turns into a discrimination. Discrimination is an action or a mentality which is, usually, negative. It is attitude and action toward people, or a group of people and is most of the time based on the hatred for race, sex or even sexual preference. According to Ch. 3, “Discrimination is the denial of opportunity and equal right to people and groups of people because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons.” (Schaefer, 2012) • What are the causes of discrimination? As I stated above, discrimination comes from prejudices. When people live pre-judging people, that judgment almost always turns into discrimination. Both of these things are fear based behaviors. The expression "ignorance is bliss" is not necessarily true. Fear and ignorance turn into prejudices, which cause discrimination. In all actuality, it boils down to human comfort. Most people are more comfortable around people like themselves. When you add a person or group of people that is foreign, some become so uncomfortable...

How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? Disrimination means to single out an individual or group based on either race, age, gender, or religion. “Bias or prejudice resulting in denial of opportunity, or unfair treatment regarding selection, promotion, or transfer.”( www.businessdictionary.com/discrimination ) The way discrimination is different from stereotyping is because when you stereotype an individual or group you make exaggerating comments about that particular group or person for example saying all white people are uncaring or stating all children are loud and abnoxious. This might fit some individuals characteristics but it would be stereotyping the whole group if stating everyone of that age or race acted the same. Discrimination differs from prejudice slightly because being prejudice means to not associate yourself with a particular race, age, or gender or not like them just because of those rason but to discriminate against people of different age, race, or gender would be to not allow them to work in a specific atmosphere or allow them to have the same opportunity for a promotion as a person of a different race, age, or gender. • What are the causes of discrimination?

How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? Discrimination,” is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.” (Dictionary.com) Discrimination is different from prejudice and stereotyping because, discrimination is when you act on your stereotypes and treat others unequally due to your prejudice opinions, whereas being prejudice and having stereotypes, you sort of hang on to your opinions and not act upon your opinions. It is possible to have stereotypes and not be discriminating as long as your opinions don’t make you act a certain way towards an individual for whatever the reason. • What are the causes of discrimination? People are taught to act a certain way growing up. Someone who is racist, and has kids, is most likely to rub off on their children and cause them to have similar views. We as people are subjected to change all around us. For most, being different or something unfamiliar to us is scary, so we tend to avoid change and stick with the familiar. We are ignorant by doing this because we will never learn something new without change. We form opinions based on assumption.

How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? Discrimnation according to google search. It means, " the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things. when it comes to certain groups. example; race, age, sex." For me prejudice to me is like looking at a persons judgmental negative point of view on a group of people. Stereotyping is what you do when you meet someone for the first time, its like the saying the first impression on someone is the lasting impression. Stereotyping can also be a negative thing as well depending on a certain thing or situation. When I see discrimination I try not to say anything because you never know what a person can do, you don't know if that person is going to flip out on you or not. Also with discrimination it is like taking away the right away from someone. What are the causes of discrimination? To me with discrimination you can view it in different ways, but from what I learned its the human behavior that a person has towards another person, It could be because they are white or black, arab or jewish or indian.

How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? Discrimination: the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex. (Oxford Dictionaries, 2013) In my opinion, discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice are very similar; they often overlap and can easily be mistaken for one another. Prejudice is defined as preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience (Oxford Dictionaries, 2013) or a preconceived judgment or opinion, an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge, an instance of such judgment or opinion, an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics. (Merriam-Webster, 2013). Stereotyping is defined as a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. (Oxford Dictionaries, 2013) I would say they differ because both Prejudice and Stereotyping are opinions or ideas based on unjust opinions, ideas or unreliable generalizations about a person or group whereas Discrimination is when a person or group uses prejudice or stereotypes in taking action by denying equal rights and opportunities to these...
