Equality of opportunity is the essence of social justice.
-Tony Honore
Discrimination
is the unfair treatment of individuals or groups based on certain
characteristics such as age, gender, sexual orientation and race.
Though the
human brain will automatically categorize things (girl and boy, for example), it
should not prevent us from respecting and treating each other equally – after
all, we are all human and we the same rights to each other.
Actually, this
kind of issue should not be tolerated in all forms but it is sad that sometimes
even the parents of a particular child will teach him/her to treat someone
inferiorly – that is why it is important that we imply and teach respect to the
young ones, as early as we can be.
Discrimination
often happens in a form of receiving poor services to stores, being treated
with less courtesy, being treated as less intelligent and less trustworthy. If
you know someone who experiences discrimination, you must take actions and
raise an awareness to end this social issue.
