...Associate Program Material Discrimination Worksheet Write a 100- to 200-word response to each of the following questions. Provide citations for all the sources you use. • What is discrimination? 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? There are multiple reasons why one might be discriminated...

How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? Discrimination is the act or behavior of treating someone poorly due to their race, religion, creed, gender, sexual orientation or age. Discrimination is different from prejudice because if you are being prejudice than you have a misconception about a certain of people. An example would be that you do not trust people from Russia because they were raised different that us. Stereotyping is different from both discrimination and prejudice because when you are stereotyping it is more broad and not pinpointed as much. An example would be "Most Mexican people have poor health because they eat lard with all the foods that they prepare." * What are the causes of discrimination? I believe that the cause of discrimination stems from how a person was raised. If someone was brought up around people that were prejudice towards a certain group then it would be considered a normal and accepted practice. That means later in life you would be more likely to repeat the cycle unless you were corrected and taught that what you were doing and the thought process that you had towards that group of people was wrong then you would not change. I feel that for some people discrimination of others is a core belief and that...

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. We need to walk as an example to our children and show them that being different...

...There are so many problems that we face in our society today and it’s just hard to pick one, but the one that I am going to address is Racial Discrimination and Hispanics in the US. The reason that I have chosen this is because it is subject that doesn’t get addressed as much as it does with African Americans. Now racial discrimination is a term that is used to let you know about how unfair or unruly behavior can be when it is directed to a certain race. Now as far as we can remember racial discrimination goes back as far as we can remember. Now racial discrimination is not only directed to one race it is all races like African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanics, and of course other races. Now when it comes to the Hispanics they have had a hard time to be able to fit in and be fully accepted, and have the same opportunity as the rest. Hispanics are about 12.5% of our population here in the US, although Hispanics have been considered as a minority group of our population that is also very often looked at as a monolithic community. It’s sad that they have to discriminate and it continues in the workplace, and pretty much where ever they go. Now according to a report that was released on Human Rights Record of the United States, there is one in every three Hispanics in the US that doesn’t have health insurance. The poverty rate for Hispanics is 21.9% compared to the non-Hispanic Whites and there rate is 8.6%, wow that is a big difference. Now from what...

...2012 Checkpoint Characteristics of Orientalism, Prejudice and Discrimination Nicci Eth/125 Cultural Diversity 2012 Checkpoint Characteristics of Orientalism, Prejudice and Discrimination Nicci Eth/125 Cultural Diversity Let’s think- What is the true difference? This to me is hard; I don’t like to distinguish all the differences between different races- because to me everyone is the same. The true difference between Muslims and Arabs is that Muslims are people who follow Islam, the religion and Arabs are people from Arabia typically. In my own opinion I would say Arabs are the ethnicity or race and Muslim is a religion. In the past 2 years, the policy changes that have occurred would be that the justice department policy change that would allow the FBI to investigate Americans without evidence of wrongdoing, relying instead on a terrorist profile that could single out Muslims and Arabs. Under this new guideline the FBI would be permitted to consider race and ethnicity when opening an investigation. This to me sometimes is still unfair and people are judgmental of Arabs and Muslims ever since 9/11. Which to me is sad and unfortunate because not everyone is a terrorist and just because of their religion or culture they are discriminated against more I believe. Two characteristics of Orientalism are Spirituality and its diversity in terms of people. These things create stereotypes amongst different people. Hate crimes stem from ignorance about a different culture...

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. If you have someone who has been taught something their entire life but never acts on it or really expresses it you might just consider them prejudice based on the stereotypes they have been taught from their surroundings. Sterotyping is the thoughts and opinions from a first impression, and could be subject to change. Prejeduce is more deep routed in your personal beliefs. However; if they have these feeling and start acting on them they are applying discrimination. References Schaefer, R. T. (2012). Racial and ethnic groups (13th ed...

Provide citations for all the sources you use. * What is discrimination? How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping?

However, according to Schaefer (2012), discrimination is the rejection of opportunities and rights to individuals and/or groups because of prejudice or personal reasons. ("Discrimination"). Discrimination also has cumulative effect so that people today are victims of past and current differential practices. However stereotyping is the unreliable generalizations about all members of a particular group without considering individuals differences. In a way, people are doing all three without realization. Everyone naturally has biases which can include stereotyping and prejudice.

...Ethnic Groups and Discriminations Kenya Allen ETH/125 2/12/2012 Mamie Tapp Ethnic Groups and Discriminations I am an African American male born in the United States of America. I prefer black Americans but that is not the political name for my race currently. My group has faced prejudice, segregations and racism. Facing racism comes from ignorant people who thought they were the supreme race and black people were just animals or workers. Before I continue, I would like to state that I blame the African kings for selling off their warriors and working people to the European race. This is the main reason being labeled African American disturbs me. My ancestors may be from Africa but I am forty-one and my family, from great aunt on down are from the United States of America. I am a proud American and I would not want to live in any other place. My race been segregated since being brought over here from Africa. We could not go to the same school as the white children for many years, I should say eras. We could not vote for many years and that did not make any since. Much labor we have put in this country to build this country, it would seem the government or local town party leaders would want to hear our opinion, but that goes deeper. Since I first thought about this assignment it was brought to my attention that we could not drink out the same water fountains that the white people drunk...

...Individual Final ETH/125 Diversity can be such a broad and interesting topic. Often when one mentions diversity they think of the different racial groups that they encounter on a daily basis. The United States, the country we call home, is one of the most diverse countries ever. Some people may not see all the diversity because they do not understand or are not willing to understand, or maybe they are just too busy with their daily lives. But if everyone was to just pay attention to the things they encounter and the people they interact with, they could really learn a lot. Since taking this class I have learned so much about the struggles that different cultures are faced with and it is so disturbing because it is something that they cannot even change, it is just who they are. Since our country is so diverse and we have so much “different”, we certainly have a lot of prejudice and discrimination that we need to work on. Some people would say it is because they are comfortable with their ways; I say it is just fear and ignorance. Growing up I lived in Elk Grove, California. It was a somewhat smaller town at the time and mostly consisted of Caucasian Americans. I am half Caucasian, or a mix of Italian and German, and my other half is Ecuadorian; Quito, Ecuador in South America. I was blessed enough to have an open hearted family where I never even knew what racism was until I started to see it first hand in school. In high school is where I really saw stereotyping and racism...

...| Irish American Ethnic Group and Discrimination | | University of Phoenix ETH/125 Elizabeth McBryde | In 1845, a fungus ruined Irish potato crops, which was the main source of food that kept peasants from starving in Ireland, and as disease and hunger spread throughout Ireland at least one million of Ireland’s people left in search of economic advancement, over half of which came to the United States (Peck, Ira). The Irish immigrants that came to the United States settled mainly in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia (Peck, Ira). Unfortunately, they were not greeted with welcome however, instead they, like many other immigrants to the United States, were met with discrimination, prejudice, and racism. Assimilation did not come easy for Irish immigrants despite their white skin and English language. Often, the only jobs available to them were hard, dirty, and dangerous positions such as coal mining and railroad work. As more and more Irish immigrated to the United States, American workers feared that the Irish, because of their cheap labor, would put them out of work (Peck, Ira). The Irish were treated in close resemblance to slaves. Forced to live in unsanitary conditions in urban slums by segregation, many Irish fell victim to epidemics that swept through their living...

...Racial Diversity in Society Angela Rowland ETH/125 October 13, 2013 Arletha Ndoume Racial Diversity in Society Part I African Americans seem to fall below regarding political, social and economic standings. Economically, their income has improved over the past fifty years. They now report a median income of what White men were making 50 years ago. In 2009, the median income for Blacks was $32584, and for Whites it was $54461.00. (Schaefer, 2012) As much as the income has increased for African Americans, it has also increased for White men. That suggests they are still the less than race. It could be said that their economic status is a result of poor college enrollment or graduation among their race. The reduction in financial aid availability has deterred African Americans from applying for higher education, and the stigma that comes with trying to succeed in school as an African American does the same. In the social aspect, there seems to be consistency of broken families among the race. Single parent families account for 91% of the households. (Schaefer, 2012) This is a shocking statistic. Although, they are broken families, there seems to be very strong generational family ties. Each generation seems to take responsibility for the younger generation. There are several instances where the grandmothers are raising the grandchildren. There will likely be multi generations in one home. They also have strong religious values and attend church together weekly. There...
