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?
Discrimination is when a person is harassed or treated differently, because of race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender among many other reasons. In employment circumstances discrimination is something that an employer does that hurts an employee; for example an employee being fired for reasons not related to on the job behavior, or not selecting him/her for a promotion. Discrimination is different from Prejudice and Stereotypes, because its not being negative towards a whole entire group. Discrimination denies someone an opportunity to improve their life.
• What are the causes of discrimination?
Since our readings focused more on discrimination in the workplace, I decided to describe some of the common causes of disconcertion in the work environment. One of the causes is a hostile work environment, if an employee is the subject to constant harassment, or not being included in activities based on factors such as race, or religion. Also salary employers are barred from paying employees differently for the same type of work based on any prohibited factors. Refusal to promote is another common cause if the employee who would otherwise be given a promotion is refused because of factors such as race, or disability that employee may be able to file a law suite. Discrimination in the workplace is very common, and there are times when someone is looked over, because some race or gender, and these things are not fair every employee should be treated fairly.
• How is discrimination faced by one identity group (race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability) the same as discrimination
