Discrimination

Discrimination is action that denies social
participation or human rights to categories of
people based on prejudice. This includes
treatment of an individual or group based on
their actual or perceived membership in a
certain group or social category, "in a way
that is worse than the way people are usually
treated". [1] It involves the group's initial
reaction or interaction, influencing the
individual's actual behavior towards the group
or the group leader, restricting members of
one group from opportunities or privileges that
are available to another group, leading to the
exclusion of the individual or entities based
on logical or irrational decision making. [2]
Discriminatory traditions, policies, ideas,
practices, and laws exist in many countries
and institutions in every part of the world,
even in ones where discrimination is generally
looked down upon. In some places,
controversial attempts such as quotas or
affirmative action have been used to benefit
those believed to be current or past victims of
discrimination—but have sometimes been
called reverse discrimination themselves.
We must take strict actions aganist this.
