Racial and Ethnic discrimination

Racial discrimination typically points on differences between different groups of people

Prejudice against a person because of race is ethnic discrimination.

Prejudice against a person because of perceived heritage is ethnic discrimination.

Prejudice against a person because of culture, voice accents or cultural-based habit is ethnic discrimination.

Disability

The discrimination against disabled people in the workplace, is one of the worst issues

Governments, all across the world, have hence passed many laws and acts that prevent workplace prejudice when it comes to matters that concern disabled people

The modern society, prefers to discriminate between disabled people and people who are not disabled.

It may seem that discrimination based on age is the same for all age groups. Can not say that it is basically the three age groups: discrimination against young people, people over 40 years, and discrimination against the olderly in old age.

Sex and Gender

The Sex Discrimination prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, marital status, pregnancy or potential pregnancy in a range of areas of public life.

People meet with unequal treatment in this world very offten, which have different sexual orientation. They can be gay and lesbian, bisexuals, transgender (GLBT). Among the symptoms are hints, insults, derogatory drawings, reaching, verbal abuse and later to open violence and physical attacks.

Discrimination on grounds of religious belief can manifest in people who have a different religion than most companies, where they are without religion. Directly to these people may be discriminated against in recruitment, which is a preferred religion. Indirectly to the rules and regulations that disadvantage certain groups of people and deny them rights and opportunities to other members of society.
