Discrimination

Definition

    Discrimination is defined as using the senses to point out distinctions or differences between objects, people, or even ideas.

    Most people are discriminated against because there appearance is different than others

    But they can't help it because thousands of years ago people seperated to different regions of the world and the environments caused them to adapt and change appearances

    Some examples of people who can be discriminated against are asians, europeans, africans, and more.

Discrimination against immigrants

Definition

    Immigrants are people who migrate to another country that they are not native to. For example I was born in Jamaica but then I moved to America and is known as an immigrant here.

    When people move to another country in some places they are denied some of the rights that the people naturallly-born there have. Such as I am unable to run for president of the United States because I am not a natural-born citizen. Unlike any other American who can run of their own choice.

    I think that it is an unfair act to deny them the rights that others get easily

    Another example of how immagrants are discriminated in other places are in the workplace.

    Someone originating from India called Carl might take a job as an car salesman and work very hard. They strive toward recognition from the boss to gain a promotion.

    But the boss says they have tough competition with another employee. While Carl sells at an average of 30 cars per week, his advesary sells 20 per week but some how got the promotion instead of Carl. That is a prime example of discrimination in the workplace.

Discrimination

Definition

   Discrimination was said to have taken it's place as a prejudice  during the 17th century after a performance by someone known as Thomas D. Rice as Jim Crow

    People began to imitate the the minstrel speakings of Thomas and created something called the Jim Crow laws. It said the the point of view that African Americans are seen as are uneductaed and irrational. After his death his words still stood strong and persuaded officials to create the segregational laws and rules but was altered after the Civil War period.

Discrimination

Definition

     Discrimination has no true logical point in existing in the human race. It's only results are pointing out the differences between people and seperating us even more. If people actually took the time to look at each other and think. They would realize that we are not that much different. What we should be focusing on is creating a better world for the future generation that will harbor this world and teaching them to teach their kids to take care of this earth.

    If you judge the color of your skin then you have no right to judge in the first place. People should be judged by their character.

Discrimination

Definition

    As years past people began to develop new methods of discriminating people. But the people wouldn't take it anymore. This is what brought up the civil war action. They were tired of practices such as redlining, segregation, and just plain cruel treatment. There were sme states that actually abolished slavery but other remained with the same terms but this still caused a comotion. African-Americans were traded as if they were objects or items but they were of equal standards as any other man or woman could say.

Discrimination

Definition
    After the Civil War there was a temporary downfall for discrimination and people of color began to gain more and more rights that they deserved right from the beginning. Discrimination has caused all this trouble just because people have nothing better to do than tease one another based on our differences. Currently people are able to accomplish things that are great but if we were to put aside our differences and work together then we can accomplish things even greater than we could imagine.

Discrimination

Definition

   Some example of the different types of differences in between people that discriminators focused on wer people of color, people originating from a foreign country (immigrants), homosexuals, and people who hae disabilities and are not as capable of doing routine activities as such other people could easily accomplish.

    I wonder how people can be so cruel that they would mock one another so they feel satisfied about themselves. God put us on tis Earth together so we could communicate in a peaceful manner between each other and progress to make earth better for the future generations.

Discrimination

Definition
    But overall discrimination can have negative effects as well as positive effects toward progression. Such as creating competition to see who can do what better and who can create this first. For example American and Asia's plan to see who could get to put the first man to step on the moon. They had a friendly competition among two "people" and look what happened. America managed to get man to step foot on the moon and to this day they are creating new equipment and gadgetry to travel to farther places such as Mars and Jupiter to see if there is life other than man.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST IMMIGRANTS

 

 

Definition
   Discriminationagainst immigrants occurs internationally. Such as if someone born in Poland were to travel to a place like Germany. Some Germans are still stuck in the holocist state of mind and might be prejudice toward them and may even attack them. Or a german could have went to Poland and someones relatives died in th holocost and are targeting revenge. That German can become vulnerable. This are just some examples of immigrant discrimination.

Discrimination against immigrants

Definition
    Due to the consistant rate at which immigrants are treated unfairly the law had to step in. It is now illegal to harass someone because of their nationality. Simple teasing and side comments but if it is so offensive that it makes it a hostile or uncomfortable environment for them then the laws are enacted and are prepared to arrest or maybe imprison those who choose to disobey them.

Discrimination against immigrants

Definition
    Sometimes in school young children born in another country are discriminated due to having an accent. For example, Indiasn are known for having very strong accents to the point that if they were to talk at school then they would most likely be made fun off because they are different , but over time the students will get used to their accent but there will always be the certain people who refuse to be mature and still discriminate.

Discrimination against immigrants

Definition
    But some store managers have been the victim of the discrimination. You would think that if any case it would be the employee that is on the other end , but sometimes it's switched around. For example, a business owner that worked and persevered through life to make that business is from Asia. The people he hires decides to be disrespectful toward their manager even though he was the one who provided them with a job. Discrimination can occur in all forms.

    Last but not least, another form of which immigrants are discriminated against are presidency rights. I know that some people migt say that America has the right to not want someone not born in the United States run for president and run their country. But it just seems unfair to me. In my opinion I think that America would do alot better if they decided to change a few policies. Do you see where it gotthem for keeping the same rule for centuries. They are in debt so much that it's ridiculous. But Asia is in a very comfortable position unlike them.

Discrimination against immigrants

Definition
    What does the government think will happen if they elected an immigrant. I personal think that , not to seem racist in any way but, someone of an asian decent should run for candidancy. Just look at the evidence backing me up. America owes Asia billions and billions of dollars. It seems to me that Asia knows how to deal with their money better than Americans. (no offense). And that's not the only reason why I strongly believe in the change policy for the election of an immigrant .

    The other reason that I believe immigrants should be allowed to become president of the United States is because not allowing children of different national origin to have the dream of one day becoming president is crushing that dream. Teachers always use the phrase " you are all capable of becoming president of the United States ". So what should they say to the students like us, except for you, that would just be making everything worse than it already is. But I wonder why the government won't just open their minds to change ?

Discrimination against immigrants

    Is the government afraid that if an immigrant is elected and is running their country that they will run the coutry into turmoil. That is possible, but not because their of different decent. It should be based on characteristics. If they only think that Americans are eligible to run for president then your wrong. Look at George W. Bush, he was from what I've heard and seen one of the worst presidents. And he was what you the government said was eligible to be president of the United States. Now do you regret that decision.

Discrimination against homosexuals

Definition
    A homosexaul is someone that feels romantically and sexually attracted to someone of the same sex. They are classified as gay or lesbian. Many people disapprove of this occurance and feel it is unnatural for people to have relations with the same gender. I myself am one of the people who do not have an opinion of this topic and just lets it take it's course. I believe that people should be allowed to do what they feel is right and no one person has the right to alter them.

Discrimination against homosexuals

Definition
    I do not approve of gays, but I certainly disapprove of people havig the audacity to taunt or discriminate them because of them being who they are. I want people to start realizing that if you were the homosexual and was being made fun of, would you feel they sae way. Exactly, no one ever takes the time to think " Hey, I wouldn't be laughing if I were in their position", because it's not something to laugh about. I really don't understand how people's minds work.

Discrimination against homosexuals

Definition
    But at time I myself question the purpose of people being gay. God put us on this world with repoductive organs. They are to be used to create life and continue human civilization. But a man and a man or two women do not have the required equipment for that to happen. But priest's and nuns state that sex is a sinful act and any who commit will be sentenced to life in hell. So are we the one's sinning or are the homosexuals doing so.

Discrimination against homosexuals

Definition
    But the cruelest part of being gay is the childhood stage. It's because the curiosity is social suicide for them. Once one of their peers discover that there gay, then news will spread. And all people are aware of how students are classified as "different " in school will become an outcast. And those years of being segregated from people could scar them for life and lead them into a life of depression. And could even turn them into serial killers targeting those who were cruel to them.

Discrimination against people of color

Definition
    We are all aware of the times of slavery when black people were seen as tools and made servants for over 400 years just because of their skin color. Those were the days when they were denied majority rights and pretty much had the same amount of rights as a stray dog. But in modern day customs have changed and black people were allowed to have jobs, marry, and even start your own business. We even managed to have the first African-American president of the United States. But not alot has changed. Even though we can apply for a job some business owners still refuse to hire. It's just the same as we are unable to to even apply for jobs.

Discrimination against disabled

Definition
    Anyone who discriminates toward the disable has no heart. The disable are people that are handicap and are incapable of accomplishing tasks that are easily done by others. For example a person who is handicap is unable to walk. That is something that is not a laughing matter. Young peoplegenerally make fun of people who have disablility. This is just making their lives worse because they are aware they can't walk, but you pointing it out just makes their lives more difficult.
