The Effects of Discrimination in our Society

# data[].attributes.body
The effects of discrimination in our society are reflecting a lot of things based on their, religion, race and disable discrimination. It is really easy to judge someone on their appearance, and come to the point where it is just plain racist.

We often see "black people" in news fighting with white people because they are always discriminated. On what we see on the news, or what we know is not always true...Not all black people are violence, thief, homeless and so on.

It happens in our country and around the world, Australia has aborigines who are discriminated, but many people do not understand their culture, and they are look down on these people.

Therefore, it can endanger the world peace, once the conflict between the different break out, which can easily cause a world war.

Discrimination is about exclusion and subordination and it effectively conveys an explicit message of differentness and inferiority of the victim humiliation.

Most people frequently feel pressured just to fit in with the society...
Though it still, increases and people in society and greater visibility in the media and public life, is experiencing discrimination, harassment and violence at work, school, and in social situations.

Topic: Discrimination on religion

Religious discrimination involves treating an individual or an applicant and an employee  negatively based of his or her religious beliefs.

Such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism, including others who have sincerely held religious, ethical or moral beliefs.

Discrimination in employment on the basis of religion occurs when someone does not experience equality of opportunity in employment because of their religion.

This may include

Refused a job

Dismissed from employment

Denied training opportunities

Being harassed at work

Discrimination based of religion alone is not unlawful under federal anti-discrimination law.

Discrimination related to religion, religious conviction, religious beliefs or religious activity can be unlawful under the laws of ACT, Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. In South Australia, discrimination on the basis of religious dress or appearance in work or study can be unlawful.

Also some people observe particular rules on clothing, appearance or jewelry for religious reasons. Employers should not discriminate against a person in employment on the basis of their religious dress.

Example: An employer refuses to offer an employee a role serving customers because she wears hijab.

Discrimination that is authorized by court or law, will not be against the law if it is necessary to comply with an order of a court or tribunal, or is authorized by legislation.

It is against the law to discriminate against anyone in the workplace, employees are protected from discrimination at all stages of employment including recruitment, workplace terms and conditions and dismissal.

Example of religions belief or activity discrimination

At a job interview with an insurance company Mariam, a Muslim, is asked about her religious background. Even though Mariam is the best candidate, the Human Resources manager tells her he cannot offer her the job because he believes she will have to leave her workstation for prayer several times a day.

Vilification is a behavior that incites hatred, serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of a person or group of people because of their race or religion.

T O P I C : Disability Discrimination

Disability discrimination occurs when a person with a disability is treated unfairly than a person without a disability in the same/similar situation.
There are two types of disability discrimination, direct and indirect. For example, a direct disability discrimination would occur when a person is refused entry into a restaurant or a store just because they're blind and have a guide dog. An indirect disability example would be when some certain buildings would only have a set of stairs as a way to enter. Therefore some people with disabilities who use wheelchairs would be unable to enter the building.
Disability discrimination also occurs when there is no rule or policy that is the same for everyone but has a unfair effect on people with a disability.
To be protected from any form of disability discriminations. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) makes it against the law to treat you unfairly because of your disability. The DDA helps cover you if you have had a disability in the past, if you may develop a disability in the future and/or if people think you have a disability. The DDA also helps people who are relatives, friends, and careers of people with a disability are also protected by the Disability Discrimination Act.
A person with a disability has the same right to a person without a disability. If a person with a disability can achieve and do the activities or have the requirements of a job, then they should have an equal opportunity to do that job.
The Disability Discrimination Act says that in some circumstances treating someone with a disability differently won't be against the law. This is known as exception. For example, the DDA might say that it's not against the law to refuse employment to a person with a disability if, because of their disability they cannot perform the requirements of the job. However, the DDA must consider how the person with a disability could be provided with reasonable adjustments to help them do the job.

-Cultural Discrimination is commonly directed at ethic minorities within the society , organizations or institutions.

It can also occur in politics, such as when the ethic majority of a nation rules for a long time.
-The effects of workplace discrimination include poor work culture and loss confidence workforce, debilitating effect on the individual, negative impact for the society.

Racial discrimination is when a person is treated less favorably than another person in similar situation. Because of their race, color, descent, national or ethnic origin or immigrant status. Racial discrimination when there is a rule or policy that is the same for everyone but has an unfair effect on people of a particular race, color and nationality.

Race discrimination can also occur if an individual is treated differently based upon their association with member or racial group.
For example:

Hiring/firing/promotions- You apply for a job which you have experience and excellent qualifications, but you are not hired because of the company's long time clients are not comfortable dealing with African or American.

Pay/Salary- You worked you way up from the position of executive assistant to project manager with similar training and work experience was recently hired and you find out than he will be paid more than you.

TOPIC: Sex Discrimination & Age

Sex discrimination:
Sex discrimination is a worldwide issue between the genders; whether it be women applying for construction jobs or men getting a degree in nursery, both find sex discrimination a daily issue. A Sex Discrimination Act was created in 1984 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, marital or relationship status, actual or potential pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status or breastfeeding in a range of areas of public life. However, the Act did not cover equal pay wages for women. In 1963, the first Equal Pay Act was passed to allow full-time female workers to earn 48.9% as much as male full-time workers. Even after the act, the wage gap between men and women still remain worldwide and mostly occur due to education, hours worked and occupation. On average, female full-time workers have to work an extra 66 days to earn the same pay as the average male.

Age Discrimination:
Age Discrimination is actually not a criminal offence as people might think it is. It is only classified as harassment when its frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision such as the victim being fired or demoted.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) only forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment

✎ Gender pay gap: the difference between women's and men's average weekly full-time earnings
✎ The national gender pay gap is currently 16.2% and has hovered between 15% and 19% for the past two decades
✎ Influenced by a number of interrelated work, family and social factors - includes stereotypes about the work women and men 'should' do, and the way women and men 'should' engage in the workplace

FACTORS

✎ Discrimination, both direct and indirect
✎ Differences in education, work experience and seniority
✎ Women's more precarious attachment to the workforce (due to their unpaid caring responsibilities)
✎ Lack of women in senior positions
✎ Lack of part-time or flexible senior roles
✎ Women are more likely than men to work part-time or flexibility because they still undertake most of society's unpaid caring responsibilities
