  Racism and Sexism Racism Racismis the attitude that people of a certain race tend to treat people from this supposed inferior race badly. It may even lead to murder. Sexism If a person is discriminated against because of their gender (that is, whether they are male or female), this is called sexism. It has been common in the past for women to be discriminated against by men who have the power to do this. This has led to women being left to look after the home while their husbands have done 'more important things'. As a result, many women have been denied the chance to develop and use their talents for the good of all.

  Discrimination The definition ofdiscrimination is the act of prejudice against a person because they have a certain set of characteristics. Discriminated characteristics can include disability, age, gender reassignment, religion, race, sex and sexual orientation. Discrimination can take many forms but in many countries around the world there are laws prohibiting any form of discrimination. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Racial and ethnic discrimination In South Africa, Apartheid (literally "separateness") was a system of racial segregation that was enforced from 1948 to 1994. Non-white people where prevented from voting and lived in separate communities. Nationality discrimination National origin discrimination involves treating people unfavorably because they are from a particular country or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they appear to be of a certain ethnic background. Sexual orientation discrimination Sex discrimination also can involve treating someone less favorably because of his or her connection with an organization or group that is generally associated with people of a certain sex. Religious discrimination Valuing or treating a person or group differently because of what they do or do not believe or because of their feelings towards a given religion. Disability discrimination Discrimination against people with disabilities in favor of people who are not is called ableism or disablism. It results in places and services built to serve 'standard' people, excluding those with disabilities.

  Stereotype Stereotypes are generalizationsabout a group of people whereby we attribute a defined set of characteristics to this group. A stereotype is a popular belief about specific types of individuals. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions. Another name for stereotyping is bias. The term stereotype derives from the Greek words στερεός (stereos), "firm, solid" and τύπος (typos), "impression," hence "solid impression". These classifications can be positive or negative, such as when various nationalities are stereotyped as friendly or unfriendly. 1 Ingroups and Outgroups In one perspective of the stereotyping process, there are the concepts of ingroups and outgroups. 2 Automatic and Explicit A second perspective is that of automatic and explicit or subconscious and conscious. 3 Types and Sub-types A third method to categorizing stereotypes is general types and sub- types. 4 Origins Stereotypes are often used in books to project the characters on television shows. It is also used in advertising to sell products. Stereotypes are also passed on from adults to their children through comments made about people and places. 5 Problems Stereotypes are often accepted as truths. Stereotypes leads to mistaken belief about oneself. Stereotyping can affect your judgments of people or individuals. It can lead to discrimination. It damages self-image and self-esteem.
