We are all humans regardless of ethnicity, gender or role in society. In the Declaration of independence, in the United States of America, the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” are granted to all men, but is that really true? Inequalities have been an issue since many centuries ago. Inequalities have existed since thousands of years, from the kings vs. the surfs in medieval times, to the treatment of slaves, to the inequalities of women. In today times, many people face prejudice and inequality every day.…
“Oh, you’re a woman, I am not sure you can handle this job.” Wow, who would say that?! This may seem like an antiquated response. However, discrimination can and does still happen in a company, and is not limited to gender discrimination. Consequently, every company is very careful about their operations and employee treatment in today’s business world. Many business entities have put together a human resource department to properly manage and take care of their most valuable resource, their employees. Over the years the government has also helped ensure that employees get proper treatment. Measures such as the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 have all been put into place to combat against discrimination in the workplace.…
“According to TNS Research Surveys, 68 percent of women surveyed believe gender discrimination exist in the workplace. Federal law protects women and other minorities from discrimination in the workplace. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 ended the practice of paying men more than women when performing the same jobs and duties. In 1964, the Civil Rights Act extended this protection to other minorities. Despite these protections, many women still feel gender-based discrimination is a problem in some businesses” (Gluck). Regardless of the amount of attention discrimination of forms may receive and the progress made towards equal rights for all individuals in the work place, there is evidence that discrimination is still not a thing of the past just yet.…

Race is one of the most complex concepts in Sociology. It is a social construct that artificially divides people into distinct groups based on characteristics such as physical appearance (particularly color), ancestral heritage, history, economic and political needs of a society at a given period of time. Science theories of race arose in the late 18th and early 19th century. The father of modern racism, Count Joseph Arthur de Gobineau proposed the existence of three races: white (Caucasian), Black (Negroid) and Yellow (Mongloid). According to his theory, blacks are least capable whereas white race possesses superior characteristics. In the year following World War 2, ‘race science’ has been discredited since they are no clear cut ‘races’…
A quote I viewed as racial is “ Yeah, i totally agree with that. I don't think, you know, they're all like that, but, i mean,it's just that if it wasn't that way, why would there be so many poor blacks living in the projects? If they worked hard, they could make it just as high as anyone else could. You know, i just think that's, you know, they're raised that way and they see what their parents are like so they assume that's the way it should be…” stated Kim a student at SU. (Bonilla-Silva, 2014, p.88) This statement made me feel as if some individuals have alternative motives towards people of color. Reading this quote I Felt as if i was to ask the same question as the interviewer i would receive many responses as to this one.…
I think it affects everyone, even if it occurs at a subconscious level. I will be the first to admit that I am prejudice: I judge people daily by how they dress, talk, and look. Prejudice has a heavy psychological impact on the ones to whom it is directed at; it shows the ignorance of the person displaying the prejudice; and yes, I believe prejudice can be lessened, but I it will never be eliminated.…
Currently prejudice and discrimination are at the forefront of our national politics. From police officers slaughtering African Americas on the streets to the violent protests demanding Muslim refugees not be allowed in the country, it seems hate has taken over our national discussion. But why does a country founded by immigrants now despise outsiders and spew racist rhetoric? Why has prejudice and discrimination replaced tolerance and equality? To fully understand our crisis we must explore the major factors that contribute to prejudice and discrimination: stereotypes, ultimate attribution error, and adaptive conservationism.…
When talking about discrimination in this society, it is certainly not a taboo subject. Discrimination can happen anywhere, however, it is more likely to go unnoticed in the work area.
