Discrimination

Discimination is the treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favuor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit. This is bad as people who are being discriminated gets agitated and fights and quarrels would occur. And then there will be discrimination against discrimiation. Like what Leon has said in class. It sounds funny but is still happening. Discimination can hurt others' feelings and the only way to avoid it is to treat everybody equally, no matter how stupid, fat, short, black they are. No one is perfect. Some people are just born differently or are different compared to the others. We would just have to take time to accept the fact and not let the whole world know that they are diffrent in a way. The world would be much more peaceful without discimination. 

There are many types of discimination. I have a few types of them and I am going to group them into three different categories. They are as follows:

First Category: Race

1.Skin Colour
-Different races have different skin colours. Some people see most people of their own skin colour and when they see others with other skin colours, they feel uncomfortable and do not like the looks of them. Others are too comfortable with people of their own skin colour that they find that people of another skin colour looks different and ugly.
2.Religion
-People of different religions would sometimes have different skin colour compared to others. People are not able to accept people of other religion especially in jobs because of their skin colour and also because they have to go to places to pray and would neglect certain matters. Some bosses take advantage of them having to pray and did not accept them. It is very sad to know as they still need to earn money to take care of their families.
3.Language
-As people are from different contries and races, they will eventually speak different languages. Some people think that people speaking other languages sound funny compared to theirs and start to mock them. Others find that they cannot communicate with other races because of the difference in languages and tend to get far from them.
4.Nationality
-People who are from different countries belong to their own country. Some people do not like people from other countries as they feel that the government of other countries are no good or are enemies with their own country and try to ignore them. This will make it harder for people from other countries to get jobs and for those going on holidays, they will feel that they are being neglected and will not enjoy their holiday.

Second Category: Medical Status

1.Disability
-Some people are born with diseases or with an imperfect body structure will normally tend to be mocked by others. Others think that they look amusing, totally different from normal people and try to laugh at them. They should control their laughter because those people with disabilties must have the strong will to live on despite their disabilties. Mocking at them will only make them feel more uncomfortable. They should at least be receiving some encouragement from others so that they can continue with their lives peacefully.
2.Appearance
-Some people look funny once they are born while some happen after an operation. People should not jeer or mock at them and should put themselves in others shoes. They will surely not feel comfortable if they are being laughed at. They must remember that those people with appearances that are not normal also hate their own looks but still have to live with it. Its something they do not want but have no choice.
3.Transmittable Diseases
-People who have transmittable diseases tend to find difficulty getting on in life. When others knows that they would also get affected once there is contact with those people would not get near them. Thus it will be very difficult for them to make friends and get a job and these will pose difficulties on their lives.
4.Family Background
-Those people whose family members have a certain kind of hereditary diseases often get the diseases too. This pose a threat to them as once that get affected, they will not be accepted by others in society and will feel that they cannot carry on with their lives. It is not their fault to have those kind of diseases and others should learn to accept them.

Third Category: Personal Status

1.Pregnancy
-Pregnant women will normally find themselves being neglected by the society and find it difficult to get a job. People will find them very irritating as they tend to need more support and look clumsy with their big stomach. Thus they will be forced to go home if they are working as they feel that pregnant women should not move around too much and rest. They also feel that pregnant women will handle matters clumsily and is of no benefit to the company. Thus they get neglected.
2.Parental Status
-Some people with parents who have contributed babdly to the society before find that they cannot get along well in society. This is because people already know that their parents had done bad deeds before and tend to have the impression that their children will also act in the same way as them. People should feel sorry for them and give them a chance to prove themselves that they are different from their parents, they can perform better. They too, also need to get jobs to survive. Don't just judge a person's character because of their relationships with bad people. they should be accepted by the society.
3.Attitude
-there are some people who behaves abdly or just cannot control their emotions. They often pick up fights and quarrels and their friends would eventually leave them alone. This is very disheartening. They are naughty but their friends can also help to encourage them to turn over a new leaf and start a new life allover again. They will find life more meaningful. We should not just disciminate them and let them leave a bad impression on the society.
