    Equality is shorthand for equality of opportunity, it does not provide anyone with an advantage or equal treatment, but rather aims to put everyone on roughly equal footing for things such as pay, accessibility to documentation and advancement. Diversity is the term used to describe having a workforce of people from various backgrounds, ages, cultures and genders, among other things.

    Hispanics, Latinos, and Mexican-Americans, whether legal or not, have been discriminated against in the United States since they came to the land said to be built upon freedom and equality. They have became an ethnic, social, and linguistic minority in a vastly white English speaking majority. Through appealing to morals, examples of discrimination, and the use of statistics, Gibson emphasizes the urgency and magnitude of the problem of Hispanic discrimination in America. By appealing to the morals of his non-Hispanic audience, Gibson effectively proves that discriminating against Hispanics is clearly the wrong thing to do and that our society needs to come together to stop this problem. He begins his argument by saying what truly “makes…

    Again my idea of what indirect discrimination would be that someone is discriminating against a fellow person but are doing it underhandedly. But from secondary research I learn’t that indirect-discrimination is when you have things such as a condition, rule, policy or a practice within your organisation that applies to everyone but explicitly disadvantages people whom share a specific characteristic. An example of indirect-discrimination would be if that a job was to request that employees wear jeans and a T-shirt, effectively becoming a disadvantage for certain people that follow a religion that has a strict dress policy.…

    Ralph Ellison, author of On Being the Target of Discrimination, did an excellent job describing the daily life of an African American child during the segregation era. This text has powerful lessons that he went through that shape the story into what it is today. On Being the Target of Discrimination is a narrative essay that relies on pathos to persuade its primary audience of white people in America how racism affects a kid’s childhood. The author had a very clear image of how he wanted to present the sole purpose of this text which was by presenting lessons the main character experienced. There are some things, particularly audience and word choice that overlap together in a way that make you think of the text in another dimension.…

    America has long been a country standing for liberty, unity, equality and freedom- freedom of religion, the press and to make day-to-day choices about how you live your life including where you live your life. Taking a closer look, America may not be as “united” or “equal” as has been thought, by many, especially when it comes to residency. In 2010, the Marquette University Faculty Blog posted a blog-post, “Milwaukee’s Residential Segregation –It’s Not Simply Black and White” which states information from a study from John Logan of Brown University ranked Milwaukee the second highest residential segregation by race. Milwaukee is highly segregated residentially but, overall, so is America. During the last century, the residential segregation…

    Chronic Discrimination

    For racial minorities, chronic perceived discrimination is stressful and leads to mental and physical changes (Pascoe & Richman, 2009). Perceived discrimination and experiences with racism change neural emotion circuits, which may contribute to the race gap in achievement (Johns et al., 2008). The mere anticipation of racial discrimination can create a stress response (Sawyer et al., 2012). When discrimination is perceived, the threat response is activated leading to increases in both cardiovascular activity and activation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. Specifically, activation of these systems signals for the release of cortisol and DHEA.…

    Everybody gets discriminated at least once in their lifetime. They get discriminated based on their race, ethnicity, appearance, and other reasons. Sometimes, they don’t know the reason why they get discriminated, but people shouldn’t get discriminated at all. People feel like they get discriminated by their appearance. For example, when I was in nursing school in Virginia, I felt like I was discriminated just because the way I look or just being different or maybe because I was Asian, but I don’t know the exact reason why nobody wanted to talk to me.…

    How I would define prejudice, I think, not liking someone because they do not look or act the way I would expect them too. I know there are some who know that their actions demonstrate the behavior of being prejudice and there are some that are unaware that they are behaving prejudicially, and maybe they don’t mean be. As for discrimination I would define it as doing something wrongful to someone for no reason. For example, Kim was breastfeeding in a restaurant and the owner tells her to leave because she grossing out his costumers. Discrimination in society has been a huge issue for years and it would seem that it was on the verge of heading in the right direction of getting better and people were excepting one another.…
