ion-and-prejudice/effects-of-
Physical and emotional impacts: discrimination.html

Exclusion or rejection
directed to you by others for reasons
that you often have no control of can
cause extreme worry to an
individual. It results in anxiety,
sadness, depression and a feeling of
guilt and emptiness. These often
translate into depression, loss of
interest, eating disorders and stress-
related ailments.

Social, educational and financial

impacts:

Discrimination, harassment and

victimization leave the individual
confused and broken.

They may take to alcohol or drugs,

or may form their own opinions on
others, develop a hatred for others,
or withdraw from people.

It can affect them financially, may

lose their job, quit school or do
poorly at school.
Discrimination The topic of http://essaymania.com/92540/discrimina
discrimination can be a very tion
sensitive one to discuss. The world
has always, and probably will always
be faced with this problem. In all
countries there is most likely at least
one type of blatant discrimination
that affects different groups of
people. There are several different
definitions for discrimination. The
definition given in class is: the
denial of opportunity, and/or equal
rights towards a certain group of
people. I believe that this definition
is 100% correct.

Idea 3 Why it is a problem?

Details Information
Sources
Given the principle of equal citizenship, discrimination in http://doclecture.net/
the sense of the denial of civil rights is an injustice that 1-15675.html
denies certain citizens the rights to which they are
entitled. But it is not obvious that the principle entails
that discrimination in the sense of differential treatment
is unjust, even if the differential treatment
disadvantages persons based on their race, sex, or
another paradigmatic civil rights category. The common
view is that such differential treatment is (at least prima
facie) an injustice that violates the basic rights of the
individual. In other words, the view is that it is a civil
right to not be treated disadvantageously on account of
one's race or sex.
