Well some of the most commonly know discriminations are the treatment of people with a different skin color, religion, age, and many more but those are the main three I will talk about. In the movie Glory Road it shows the journey of the first African American college basketball team.

These fans and community of college basketball discriminated against the players no matter how good they were they were constantly looked down upon. People are discriminated upon against their religion. It is not so common today, but it still happens. The biggest example of discrimination is Hitler and the Jewish religion. Hitler put Jewish people in concentration camps by the hundreds everyday. Hitler killed hundreds everyday just because they didn’t believe in the same thing as him. Hitler discriminated and killed hundreds of thousands of people everyday just because he didn’t believe in the Jewish religion. This example of discrimination against religion is very sad and it should never happen again. You may wonder how people can be discriminated against upon their age. Well people who are young are looked down upon and seen as less because they're younger. People who are elderly looked down upon because people think they're old and can’t or aren't capable of doing things. Whether you're young or old if you feel like you can do it try it all that could happen is you
