Discrimination and Diversity
Diversity means to understand that each individual is unique and to recognize our individual differences. These can include race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs and political beliefs.
Equality means that we are all equal. Everyone has the right to opportunities and people must be treated the same.
Inclusion is the action or state of including or of being included within a group or structure.
Discrimination can mainly involve bullying. People discriminate by making a person different from them feel like an outcast.

Overweight
Had disabilities
Had English as a second language

Discussions
Read books on culture and religion
Use display boards to show different events

Toys and equipment
Puzzles, books, Duel language
Dolls, foods

Some ways discrimination may deliberately occur in the work setting are because of someone’s color, religious beliefs and their
