DISCRIMINATION TODAY AND TOMORROW

A SHORT COMMENTARY BY : KARL LESLIE L. LETI

An issue that is known before that Nelson Mandela and

Martin Luther King diminished but still exists today and
maybe until tomorrow for agesdiscrimination.
Discrimination is having unequal treatment by people in every
class. Some types of discrimination is in lack of; age, religion,
disability, gender and many more but the most common type
of it is the racism. Racism is a type of discrimination where in
peoples race and color are involved.
To start a defense against on it , we must consider that it is the
beginning for us. We must treat every creation of God as an
equal being. We must respect each and everyone we meet even
if they have shown some not so kind treatment to others. We
must be a model by inspiring them and helping them for our
society. Some of them have more talents within us. We must
show to others that everyone of us are special creation of God.

AGE
DISCRIMINATION

Age discrimination involves treating someone

(an applicant or employee) less
favorably because of his or her age.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
only forbids age
discrimination against people who are age 40 or
older.
It does not protect workers under the age of 40
, although some states do have
laws that protect younger workers from
discrimination.
It is not illegal for an employer or other covered entity
to favor an
older worker over a younger one, even
if both workers are age 40 or older.
Discrimination can occur when the victim and the person
who inflicted the discrimination are both over 40.

If age does bother you a

lot , just always

remember that age is :

DISAB
ILITY

Disability discrimination occurs when an employer

or other entity covered treats a qualified individual
with a disability who is an employee or applicant
unfavorably because she has a disability. Disability
discrimination also occurs when a covered employer
or other entity treats an applicant or employee less
favorably because she has a history of a disability
(such as cancer that is controlled or in remission) or
because she is believed to have a physical or
mental impairment that is not transitory (lasting or
expected to last six months or less) and minor
(even if she does not have such an impairment).

Dont you ever

underestimate
yourself . Make
your ability your
top priority.

RELIG
ION

Religious discrimination
involves treating a
person (an applicant or
employee) unfavorably
because of his or her
religious beliefs.

Religious discrimination can also involve treating someone differently

because that person is married to (or associated with) an individual of a
particular religion.
The law protects not only people who belong to traditional, organized
religions, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism,
but also others who have sincerely held religious, ethical or moral beliefs.
The law forbids
discrimination when it
comes to any aspect of
employment, including
hiring, firing, pay, job
assignments,
promotions, layoff,
training, fringe benefits,
and any other term or
condition of employment.

Just always remember this

: Faith doesnt
discriminate.

Gender equality is achieved when women and

across all sectors of society, including
economic participation and decision-making,
and when the different behaviors, aspirations
and needs of women and men are equally
valued and favored.

Now that you know what are the

common types of discrimination
,lets get you inspired now by
reading some of these quotes :

EQUAL
Respectis a big factor in building
defenses against discrimination.
Respecting others as well as yourself is
a way of having peaceful and lively
society within us , people living in this
world. Respect begins respect.
Treatmentin such ways you show respect
to others is important as a defense
against discrimination because if you
treat others right theyll treat you like
the same way you treat them too.

Judgementin terms of a particular subject

matter that occurs such as when it comes to
gender discrimination. We must not judge
others by what they are but by who they
are.
Standing up for yourself is the most important
to do in building defenses against discrimination .
It can help you fight back against all the
challenges you encounter in terms of
discrimination.
