Subtle discrimination is a big deal, it's excluding people based on body, sexuality, race, and more. It doesn't really matter how you discriminate it is still all bad and ill-mannered. People don't realize that underneath every skin color, body shape, and religion that we are still all human beings. It doesn't mean that you can treat people differently.

This article is generally based on harassment and discrimination in the workplace. It has 5 different links that explain how they protect people against pregnancy in the workplace, equal pay in the workplace, age discrimination in the workplace, Disabilities in the workplace, and the civil rights act that was passed to make it illegal to discriminate against someone based on sex, race, color, religion or national origin. It then goes on to explain the laws involving these things in every state.
I think this article really proves my definition because it shows all the laws and explains in detail what they are and how they fight the types of discrimination I stated.

Discrimination is treating people differently based on a person's characteristics. why might this happen? the human brain categorizes subjects based on how first seen, many occasions of discrimination are established by fear because they are afraid of different people's beliefs and characteristics. this happens all around the world, this can be maintained by focusing on your own values and strengths and motivate other people to succeed.

"Types of Discrimination". Discrimination has many different topics of discrimination ( age, race, etc). Discrimination is when you let certain people have something and then others not aloud too. This happens when people/ business have obligations for others but then others can't get it or its just people not wanting to nice/respectful to others. This is less common in today's world but it most definitely can happen if people let it but sometimes people don't know or how to deal with it. In my response to step 1 I said something along the line of " People not letting certain individuals do things". Well this article explains it that discrimination in the work place or in the world does happen when certain people have a problem with others.

Disability Discrimination
Disability Discrimination in the workplace is when an associate or employee, while they meet the requirements, is treated differently because of their disability. Treating them differently includes but is not limited to hiring, firing, pay, tasks assigned, and harassment of any kind. To treat an employee differently is illegal. Employers must reasonably accommodate a disabled person unless it would largely expense the employer. A disability is an uncontrollable part of a person. They should not be excluded, treated differently, or harassed because of it. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act have been amended, some disabled people are still discriminated against because of their disability.
"Discrimination: What is it, and how to cope" is an article that accurately shares the definition of discrimination as prejudice against someone based on race, sex, disability, etc. They give examples of different types of discrimination, big and small, as well as providing different ways and resources for dealing with any discrimination you might face. They matched my definition of discrimination nearly word for word, and went into depth about the different types certain minority groups deal with.

"Sex-Based Discrimination"
A brief summary about the article; to start, it tells us that Sex discrimination is when you "treat someone unfavorably because of that person's sex, including the person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy." Especially in the workforce. It is unlawful to discriminate against one's sex. Your sex or sexual orientation should never prohibit you from getting a job.
This connects to my definition because there are people who get discriminated against because of their sex. To which discrimination meant being treated poorly.

This article talks about how anybody can be discriminated against about basically anything. To discriminate against someone means to treat them differently, or less favorably, for some reason. These reasons could include race, hair color, skin color, or facial features. When you are being discriminated against you will feel targeted, singled out, or not good enough. This all connects to my information because I believe that discrimination is judging/putting someone down based on skin color/race/facial features, hair color, etc.

Treating someone or a group of people differently and unfairly based on race,gender,age,sexual orientation. To help with dealing with discrimination you should focus on your strengths, Support systems, Get involved, Don't dwell over it, Help yourself think clearly, and seek some professional help. This supports my definition because I wrote the same.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
The people involved within the article are the government dealing and creating a Civil Rights Act to have foreign citizens enter the country without being discriminated against and have freedom. What has caused all this was when foreign citizens traveled to the U.S. and started getting judged and discriminated against because certain people thought that their kind don’t belong here. This Title Act started when people would start judging people that looked, acted, felt, and believed differently from what they did. This all happened because people started to discriminate against others which made it harder for them to apply for jobs, food, and housing. All this suffering because of how many others thought of themselves as stronger and more powerful thinking of those with many different qualities as lesser people. This connects with my definition because they both explain what discrimination is and who it targets in the bigger picture.

Its talking about how we need gender equality in the world.
my definition of discrimination is its a person or people being singled out in a negative way. This connects to this article because women are being singled out and not getting the same opportunities as men.

"Discrimination by Type" is an article that shows all of the different types of discrimination. Discrimination can be against anyone. Most of the time discrimination is used against people of a certain race/color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, etc. People can be discriminated against by others using slurs, treating someone different than you would another person, making derogatory remarks, etc. A lot of the time discrimination happens because some people don't like that someone is different than them or the majority.
"Discrimination by Type" connects to my definition of discrimination by stating that discrimination is against all different types of people. It also showed that there is more than one way to discriminate against someone.
"Discrimination by Type" U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity Commission www.eeoc.gov/discrimination-type 9/8/21
In an article by American Psychological Association, they provided an overview on Discrimination. The article stated that Discrimination is "the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age or sexual orientation". The article also said that people that have had to deal with discrimination have a higher stress level then people that have not been faced with discrimination. When I think about discrimination and the example provided by the American Psychology Association, I think about how some people don't have the same opportunity as other people. For example, how some families can pay for a schooling or torturing to help their kids while other parents don't have the money to.

Edit answer
Texas just passed a "heartbeat bill" on abortions, meaning that women there cannot get an abortion after the fetus has a heartbeat, which occurs around six weeks into the pregnancy. Up to 90% of the states' abortions will be blocked. These women are still going to get abortions either way whether it's at a hospital or in a nonprofessional environment, which is highly dangerous. There are no exceptions in this law-meaning that if the woman was sexually assaulted, the child was from incest, the woman is young, and/or they aren't ready to have a child it still is to be born. Not only is this bill very discriminatory, but it also violates multiple rights which are guaranteed under international law. This is discriminatory because we are getting our rights taken away just because we are female and have reproductive organs.

Dan Gordon the writer of the article, had talked to many scientist and teachers that did studies on discrimination between the different races. The results came back and almost all of the races came back the same results that a relationship between discrimination and increased risk of mental disorders were happening because of discrimination happening. But the study to make mental health better will always be an ongoing thing. Gilbert Glee was a professor that Gordon got to talk to about the study of discrimination. Gee studied mostly on the Asian American population and how they have been affected from discrimination and all the results came back to be just like the others. Gordon also got to meet another professor Vickie Mays who was able to collaborate and do a study on how discrimination over time can affect how the brain processes and is affected by it. Mays has tried to coordinate a public health effort so that discrimination can be taken care of. It connects to my definition because it shows that discrimination is towards people for their race.

Everyone has the right to and deserves equality, no matter your race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disabilities, and other things. It's terrible to have heard or known of instances where someone gets treated differently or harassed/bullied just because they are seen as "different" from the "normal." Discrimination is when certain people are not able to enjoy their human or legal rights because of unjust treatment. Discriminatory laws and practices are being fought all over the world to make a change. This article summery connects to my definition of discrimination because I simply said that discrimination is treating of people differently just because of something like race, religion, sexual orientation, etc, and that's exactly what this article was about.
