...UVA-OB-0381 PREJUDICE IN ORGANIZATIONS The problems faced by women and minorities create a serious malfunction in corporate operations. Minorities and women have yet to be accepted as full members of corporate formal and informal networks. Until they are, not only do they suffer but so does the corporation. The utilization of minorities and women in many, many cases toward corporate effectiveness and efficiency continues to be seriously hampered by behaviors in crucial interpersonal relationships that reflect racist and sexist attitudes. - John Fernandez1 Although many would like to believe otherwise, prejudiced attitudes continue to present problems for millions of people in our society. Prejudices result in counter productive behavior such as demeaning humor, verbal abuse, harassment, violence, and more subtly (given comparable performance) lower pay, slower or non-existent promotions, systematic exclusion from various gatherings, greater scrutiny, higher standards, and awkward social encounters. Many groups labor with these realities in the work place: women, racial minorities, older workers, foreign nationals, sexual preference, religious and ethnic groups, and the physically handicapped all feel the sting of social prejudice. Prejudice is a problem that touches all aspects of life, but it has only recently been addressed openly in the work place. Prejudice lingers despite the fact that noticeable shifts in the composition of our work force have taken...

Discrimination is the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or other arbitrary reasons. Discrimination also has a cumulative effect so that people today are victims of past and current differential practices. Stereotyping is unreliable generalizations about all members of a particular group without considering a individuals differences, such as “nerds, goths, emo, gangster, et cetera”. Prejudice can have many forms but one of the most common is wealth. How much you have or do not have can determine what prejudices you may face.

... Instead, it focuses on a theme or message and weaves several linked stories to highlight the theme. The movie is essentially about racial discrimination and the consequences of stereotyping people. Set in LA, the story covers a 24-hour period. The movie depicts the stories of several people whose lives are intertwined by accidental and casual encounters, usually on the streets. The characters in the story are people of varying ethnic groups: a bad and a good cop, a group of police investigators, a couple of teenage robbers, a DA and his wife, an Arab family, a Hispanic locksmith and his family, and an affluent African American movie director and his wife. The story revolves around how all of these people have deeply ingrained prejudices and how they themselves could suffer from discrimination. Theme and depiction Discrimination and stereotyping of people sometimes happen as a result of reinforcement of the behavior of the people being discriminatory themselves. The DA’s wife was almost paranoid with her suspicions of other ethnic groups or minorities. Stereotyping can box-in people, inasmuch the same way that those people who stereotype others can themselves get trapped in certain situations because of strong biases. This is what happened for instance with the Arab man who nearly shot a girl. His biases led him not to be overly...

...Analysis DeAnna Alexander SOC/315 October 9, 2012 Shyamal Das Multicultural Analysis A multicultural society is a society that consists of several different ethnic groups to make it one. Some ethnics groups may share the same values and beliefs as other and then there are some that have completely different traits, beliefs, and values. In order to determine the differences or similarities in customs and beliefs, one must do an extensive amount of reading and research. The United States of America is one of many multicultural societies of which six of them will be discussed. Since the early 1800’s, there has discrimination and stereotyping in the U.S. Centering on the history and beliefs of different ethnic group’s stereotyping, prejudice acts, and how one individual treats someone of a different culture shows how it all can harm more than just an individual, but society as a whole. Different Stereotypes Religion and ethnicity has been a substantial way that U.S society has used when trying to make out someone of a different race’s identity, as well as the task they are capable of performing (Schaefer, para. 1, 3, 6, 2011). It is easy for someone to look at a person and identify them with the wrong ethnic group based on their appearances, for example, a German woman may have pale skin with blonde hair but the person looking at her wouldn’t know that she is German, or of a different ethnic group until she opens her mouth to speak and they hear her accent. This can also...

...Immigration was especially intense in the 20th century; between 1901-1930 when more than 18 million people migrated and used Ellis Island as a transit point from Europe. In short immigration defines the U.S. from the very beginning of the founding of the nation. Although immigration is said to have slowed down during the last couple of years, According to Pew Research 40.4 million immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2011 and the population of foreign born was a total of 13%, it also states that immigrant populations has increased 30% since the year 2000” ("Pew Research Hispanic Center", 2013). After reading trough the history of immigration in the U.S and understanding the full extent of our diversity, it is striking that we can still hold so much prejudice towards those that are different or foreign. All Americans except for those of Native American descent come from ancestors who migrated to the U.S.at some point in history. * * * * The greatness of our country is in great part due to its immense diversity. Each culture has strengths and, talents that have contributed in different areas, these “strengths and talents” also create weakness and division because we have to divide our...

...stereotyping. To be honest, I don’t see anything positive that can come from stereotyping. No matter if the stereotyping is good or bad it’s putting someone in a category that the may not belong in. When I hear people say that I sound like a white person I get offended.

...Cultural Prejudice I stop to think and wonder why we are cultural prejudice. I like to say I am not yet every time I stop for coffee at 7-eleven I expect to see someone from the Middle East behind the counter. Or, how at work, when I treat a Persian or Armenian patient I immediately expect them to request royalty treatment as if they all had a sense of entitlement. These are merely thoughts I would never act upon, yet there they are in back on my mind like an old blood stain on my scrub top that I will never be able to get rid of. These are thoughts based on biases and misperception that sometimes I tend to forget about, and sometimes, it takes a good someone else for me to be reminded. The film Crash that came out on 2004 cannot depict any better how many of us, if not most of us, see the other cultures. The location where the story takes place also cannot be any better. It takes place in Los Angeles where the lives of these Angelinos crossed paths causing a collision of race and cultural prejudice. The director, Paul Haggis, did a nice job reminding all of us, especially me, as how we treat each other among cultures letting our judgment be mislead the could be acts of racism. Although the movie may push reality beyond its limits, it is something that to some extend happens every day and cannot be overlooked. Sometimes while reflecting on the film and its message, I found myself drifting away remembering the times that I was judged based on my personal appearance...

...behavior is particularly prejudice. The person may be aware of that he is bias. Social prejudices are a social problem, because a group is looking at another individual or group as the group feels that they are superior to others. The social interaction among some groups might have to create common biases. Social biases may be very harmful and can interfere with human interaction (Fiske, 2010). Define the concepts of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination Prejudice means feeling or having attitude towards members of a group, established solely on the basis of membership in this group. Stereotypes dealt with generalizations regarding others that usually cause display of others group predictable and typical characteristics. Discrimination means an act of a group or person against another group or person who is the prejudice subject. Stereotypes put people into groups having similar attributes or characteristics. Stereotypes have the ability to distort the perspective of a person. As soon as a stereotype becomes active, the features belong to the group, either positive or negative, they are easy to remember. Stereotypes can influence social judgments on how much a person loves another, and this behavior is normal. There was a time when because of the stereotyping group or person will become self-fulfilling. Prejudice, as an attitude and can work a plan to collect information regarding other group members. The information which is compatible with the prejudices is usually more careful...

...Stereotypes Stereotypes To generalize a group of people in a way that falsely groups them as behaving or describes them without any certain proof is considered a stereotype. Such stereotypes are placed upon young unwed parents, the Dutch, and as another example the aggression in Pit-bull Terriers. The fallacies within these stereotypes are topics that stand without reason but are commonly thought to be true, like life beyond our planet, it’s possible but there is no proof. Stereotyping people can have lasting negative effects. Studies have been done that have proven that those who are faced with a stereotype tend to perform poorly, have trouble controlling their aggression and making rational decisions, and can even lead to over eating (Kemick, 2010). To stereotype a person is to classify them as part of a group of people. This often leads to people feeling a “sense of being depersonalized” (Siy & Cheryan, 2013). When someone stereotypes another person they are judging them based on their group affiliation instead of their individual traits and attributes (Siy & Cheryan, 2013). This can lead to angry, hurt, or upset feelings. People generally want to be seen as the individual person they are and be judged according to that, rather than for who they are associated with. In my life I encounter many different stereotypes. I have been stereotyped myself, have stereotyped others, and have witnessed others stereotype others. After learning about stereotypes I can see...

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.
