discrimination is a major tendentious plight in our society. In this world, there are many racial

groups and people were always focusing and discussing about their fairness, discrimination and

prejudice. These were the reasons which let me to think about racial discrimination and

selected this topic as my reflective note.

color, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or

impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and

fundamental freedoms in the

Racial

discrimination is mainly caused by because of several reasons such as domination and the

power of one group of people over another group of people. One of the best examples of racial

discrimination is color discrimination among whites. White privilege is a privilege that is only

awarded to whites because of their color of their skin. The North American country Canada is

one of the less racist countries is the entire world. Canada believes that, in our world everyone

should have everything same like same opportunities, same respect, equality and unity.

Likewise, now here are some groups of people that they never interested to show their respect

to others. Due to this kind of some specific people’s attitude, most of the immigrants have been

Discrimination by perception

Discrimination starts from early stages of life itself. Direct discrimination is an example of what I

mean by the discrimination from early stages. A mom having two babes where there is a chance for

mom to discriminate a quiet bold one with another disgusting. Discrimination among human differ as

the grown up. In the age 13-22 that we called a teenager, the discrimination occurs mainly in their

education. This may be a discrimination of a teacher over a student or discrimination among students.

Some teachers are discriminate to some of their students based on their talents. Most of the teachers

like students with high sort of talents and avoid those with poor creativity. But in this case if opposite

will happen, we can accept it to an extent. From the age 22- 60 discrimination occurs among human in

different ways like color, caste, religion, position and strength. This discrimination is the most dangerous

discrimination where people fought against each other mainly based on their races and religions. In

early era different countries are separated due to this religious discrimination. India is one of the best

examples for this. Pakistan and Bangladesh are two country which were a part of India was

However, eventually, most of these minorities decided there was no real reason why they were inferior, other than the other, larger group thought they were, and so, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, there were many movements for “civil rights”, in an effort to achieve equity, and cease the discrimination.
