How is discrimination different from prejudice and stereotyping? Discrimination is a factor that treats people unequally in ways to make a person not wanted. We see them predominantly in areas where there is one place with a large similar population. We can understand that,discrimination is the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons (Schaefer, 2012, pg. 61). Stereotyping are set in ideas for people unknowingly understanding the person. They are based by facts or little to none because of based experiences as judge and ridicule others, however these are based on the ideas fed through people constanly. Prejudice is can be hidden from a public view as there are four different methods of expressing it.

What are the causes of discrimination? There are various reason why discrimination are lead by others. One factor we can consider is that they were taught in a young age to portray themselves as a victim, feel superior or even believe there is nothing wrong with it. There can be crimes or situations that portrayed a different point of view for a whole community be apart of. I understand when my mother was robbed by an African American, she did not trust any of them because of the fear she had went through. She believed that every African American would swindle or harm her, thus can create a lot of friction towards a race based by fear. It is until we have an understanding from one another is until we can relax and unite.

There are oppressed development, as we can recognize there are the combination of current discrimination with past discrimination created by poor schools and menial jobs. One group will not allow another to succeed and only pull resources for their own dominat group. (Schaefer, 2012, pg. 62). We can look at jobs and how they interview certain identities and prefer white over blacks. There are always going to be preferences and total discriminination will exist in the
