FAQ
Social discrimination refers to the unfair treatment or prejudice against certain groups based on factors such as social status, ethnicity, or race, leading to conflicts and social inequalities.
A simplified description of the legal definition of discrimination is when a person is treated disfavourably or when a person's dignity is violated.
Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, or sexual orientation. That's the simple answer.
Theories of Discrimination Several theories have shaped our understanding of intergroup relations, prejudice and discrimination, and we focus on four here: the social identity perspective, the 'behaviours from inter- group affect and stereotypes' map, aversive racism theory and system justification theory.
Positive discrimination, often referred to as affirmative action or preferential treatment, is a proactive approach aimed at addressing historical injustices and systemic inequalities by giving preferential treatment or opportunities to individuals or groups who have been historically disadvantaged or underrepresented.
Examples of positive discrimination include hiring drives specifically for women candidates to increase gender diversity, and specific career development programs for women to increase the pipeline and gender ratio of women senior leaders at the top.
Positive discrimination is eliminating the negative elements that contribute nothing to your wellbeing. Negative discrimination targets race, ideology and class. Sadly, this used to be a right ideology. It is now a left ideology.
This is a form of discrimination that favours someone by treating them differently in a positive way. An example might be an organisation appointing someone from an underrepresented group into a role without considering whether they have right skills for the post.
Positive discrimination is when an organisation gives preferential treatment to people because they have a protected characteristic rather than based on their suitability.
