In summing up the topic of discrimination, I would like to say that unfortunately we all do it. It’s kind of like sinning. The key is to realize when your prejudices, biases, and preferences are causing you to treat another unfairly or causing someone harm. We have seen that it is present in all cultures, across all cohorts, and is most prevalent with regards to minorities, socioeconomic statuses, women, gays, and religion. We must keep in mind that discrimination is a reality that exists, and in some instances can be handled by simply not giving it validity by responding to its ignorance or ignorant attempts. Conversely, we must keep in mind that because it is so prevalent, at times, the commonly discriminated against could be perceiving something that did not occur. Thank you all for your comments and consideration of my topic.
