Workplace Discrimination

I think that we talked about a very interesting topic today in class. Since I have started working at Northtown Autmotives in September, I have been exposed to discrimination in the workplace. I have learned that people socialize with people who are similar to them. This can be based on age, gender, race, personality, and so on. At the end of the day, everyone at my work ends up stereotyping and discriminating people intentionally and unintentionally. At the end of lecture, you mentioned ways to manage discrimination. Being aware is a very good way to try to simmer down the situation, but honestly I think that discrimination is something that is inevitable. I know that this is an appalling theory of mine, but I think that it is just
People do not like being ignored. You made a good point in class on how people feel the need to belong somewhere. I agree with that 100%. Personally, I would rather not get along with one other person, than be ostracized by a whole group of people. If you do not get along with one person, so what?

As pointed in the slide, differences lead to miscommunication, misunderstanding, and conflict. If people were more aware of discrimination and open to diversity, as well as be able to set their differences aside, they would be able to function efficiently and be able to get any task set in front of them done. People have to learn to be more understanding and be more patient with different kinds of people; otherwise, the organization would not be able to function properly as a unit. In life, whether it is in the workplace or in another social setting, people will always have to deal with differences, whether it is based on age, race and ethnicity, gender, personality, values, attitudes, and so on. Society as a whole should start caring more about diversity and find ways to put an end to judging dissimilarities and be able to do what they came to their job to do, which is
