Discriminatory practices
M1 – Effects of Discriminatory Practices on the Young Adults
In this assignment I will be writing an assessment of the effects of three discriminatory practices on young adults. The three discriminatory practices I will be explaining the effects of are; Culture, Disability and Gender.
Culture –
Culture is the attitudes, feelings, values, and behaviour that characterise and inform society as a whole or any social group within it. Being discriminated against because of their culture can have short term effects, depression being one of them. Because they are being discriminated against it can leave them feeling lost and being judged because of their values and beliefs which can also lead them to become angry. Depending of the things they hear from other people they may start to lose their self-esteem and isolate themselves. They also may feel stressed and unable to cope which may affect their work, education or social life. Although a lot of people suffer short term effects, there are plenty who suffer long term effects; not only can they lose their self-esteem but also loss of motivation so they don’t want to do anything or achieve anything in life as they feel like they are not good enough because of the fact they have no self-esteem. If there is a large population of discrimination there could be reduced individuals rights and restricted opportunities and limited access to services. But in themselves they can develop a mental illness due to stress because of the discrimination.
Disability –
A person is classified as disabled if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a considerable and long-term effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Discriminating because of a physical or mental disability is unlawful because it can have both short and long term effects on the person. Short term effects are that they can suffer from depression, become angry as they may not know how to show their emotions and get their feelings out.
