a) diversity is the differences between people based on culture, ethnic origin, nationality, gender, race, religion, beliefs, age, ability, sexual orientation etc.
b) equality is giving everyone equal opportunities and treating everyone fairly but not the same.
c) inclusion is including everyone in the activity and not leaving anyone out.

The potential effects of discrimination include low self-esteem, low confidence etc. Individuals who are discriminated against may find it extremely difficult to find a job, this in turn means they lose everything as they cannot afford to pay the bills and this could then lead to mental illness. Discrimination can also lead to conflicts. These may be between the colleagues, the employer and employees or the staff from the company and the clients. These conflicts may be minor but they can become very distressing.
There are a fair few types of discrimination. Some of these are the following:
