A further look into Discrimination - Week 2

Discrimination is a social problem that affects a wide variety of people world wide. This particular social problem affects me because i have a wide diversity of friends that believe in different religious, are a different race, and even have a different sexual orientation than i do. While i do not face any strong from of discrimination towards myself, my friends are very important within my life. By seeing them unhappy and treated unfairly makes me upset about the topic of discrimination.

My main question about discrimination is why does it occur? Looking into this social problem in more depth, there are several other revolving questions that come into action. Do people who discriminate others typically receive discrimination towards themselves by other people? I also looked into how the social problem effects another social problem of people struggling within a workplace. What type of discrimination happens between employed employee's and those who are being constructed an interview to possibly be hired?

I started to come up with some questions that also would contribute towards others opinions as well. What is the most powerful form of discrimination? What can we do to help stop discrimination of all types? These questions vary person by person by being open-ended questions but help each person truly think about different problems and come up with different perspectives on how to stop discrimination towards others once and for all.

Social Problems: Discrimination - Week 1

Under the main theme of social problems in America, one main topic that sticks out to me is discrimination. Discrimination is made against different types of people, whether it be for age, sex, race, religious background, and peoples way of living. In other words, discrimination is a way to show that someone is judging you poorly and treating you unequally. For example, there are several instances of discrimination like how previously women did not receive the same rights as men. Discrimination in sex is something very current as many gay couples fight for the right to be legally married. Discrimination can even be made into hate crimes which several religious organizations create towards another religious group or event. There are several public areas where discrimination plays an unfair role in society, such as within a workplace.
 A few questions that i was unsure about discrimination are as follows: How does discrimination happen in a workplace, such as employment of workers? How does discrimination effect others or oneself? What should someone do if they experience discrimination against oneself?
The main topics that I find interesting about these topics include workplace discrimination, help with discrimination, and effects of discrimination. Someone who finds this particular information useful may be someone who has experienced discrimination personally through a previously acquired job or under an interview for employment for a job.
