Discrimination

North Korea is often considered the most closed country in the world due to its strict government control over information, limited contact with the outside world, and severe restrictions on freedom of movement for its citizens.

It is not the temperature of the country that determines your skin color but the amount of sunshine your ancestors received. People whose ancestors have lived in Northern Europe or Asia for a long time have light skin color. People whose ancestors have lived near the Equator for a long time have dark skin color. Dark skin color protects skin from cancer caused by excess sunshine. Light colored skin enables the skin to produce enough vitamin D. The people in between have skin that reached a point between enough color to prevent cancer and light enough to produce enough vitamin D.

Glad you've got that all figured out Colin. But, I just got back from 2 years work in Fiji. Have you lived among Melanesians? The average IQ in the Melanesia region of Pacific Island Countries is 86. In Papua New Guinea they still burn witches.

Richard Lynn (2006) states that several studies show that Australian aborigines have a low average IQ of 62 and a small average brain size. Other studies have found similar results for New Guinean aborigines. From Scientific American, "While all humans, (who are descendants of people who left Africa in multiple waves) outside of Africa are now known to have inherited some genes from Neanderthals [about 2%], Melanesians are the only known modern humans whose prehistoric ancestors mixed with the Denisova hominin, sharing 4%-6% of their genome with this ancient cousin of the Neanderthal. Denisovans appear to have been more closely related to Neandertals than to humans, but the evidence also suggests that Denisovans and humans interbred. The new analysis also suggests new ways that early humans may have spread across the globe. The findings were published online August 30 in Science.

Unfortunately, the Denisovan genome doesn't provide many more clues about what this hominin looked like. The researchers will only conclude that Denisovans likely had dark skin. This new genetic evidence might indicate that perhaps an early wave of humans moved through Asia, mixed with Denisovans and then relocated to the islands.

"Denisovans also interbred with ancient modern humans, according to PÃÃbo and his team. Even though the sole fossil specimen was found in the mountains of Siberia, contemporary humans from Melanesia (a region in the South Pacific) seem to be the most likely to harbor Denisovan DNA. The researchers estimate that some 6 percent of contemporary Papuans' genomes come from Denisovans. Australian aborigines and those from Southeast Asian islands also have traces of Denisovan DNA. This suggests that the two groups might have crossed paths in central Asia and then the modern humans continued on to colonize the islands of Oceania.

From Wikipedia, "Melanesia is a sub-region of Oceania extending from the western end of the Pacific Ocean to the Arafura Sea, and eastward to Fiji. The region comprises most of the islands immediately north and northeast of Australia. The name Melanesia � was first used by Jules Dumont d'Urville in 1832 to denote an ethnic and geographical grouping of islands distinct from Polynesia and Micronesia. In other words, Melanesian are black island people in the south pacific that migrated their thousands of years ago, unlike blacks in the Americas that came to the Americas as slaves."

From Wikipedia, quoting d'Urville, "all the nations of this major division of Oceania are more or less black in colour, with curly, fuzzy or sometimes nearly woolly hair, flat noses, wide mouths and unpleasant features, and their limbs are often very frail and seldom well shaped... Their aptitudes and their intelligence are also generally largely inferior to those of the copper-skinned race [i.e. Polynesians]"

Historically, the word Chinaman was used a slur as well as a description of Chinese people. Frenchman never had a derisive use. As a result, Chinaman has come to be emblematic of the Anti-Chinese sentiment that prevailed in the US and Europe in the 19th century and is considered racist on those grounds. (It is the same reason why "Negro" is no longer acceptable to refer to Black individuals.)

Discrimination related to mental illness often stems from fear, lack of understanding, and perpetuation of negative stereotypes through media and societal beliefs. Misinformation and assumptions can lead to stigmatization and create barriers for individuals seeking help or support for their mental health struggles. Education, awareness, and destigmatization efforts are important in challenging these misconceptions and promoting understanding and acceptance.

Genetics may influence certain traits or predispositions that could potentially contribute to discrimination. However, discrimination is largely a learned behavior influenced by social, cultural, and environmental factors. It is important to recognize and address these influences to combat discrimination effectively.

Discrimination can harm children by negatively impacting their self-esteem, mental health, and sense of belonging. It can also create barriers to their education, opportunities, and social interactions, leading to feelings of isolation and inadequacy. Moreover, experiencing discrimination in childhood can have lasting effects on their development and well-being into adulthood.

Response discrimination refers to an individual's ability to differentiate between different stimuli or responses and respond accordingly. It involves recognizing and distinguishing subtle differences in stimuli or responses to make accurate and consistent choices or decisions. Response discrimination is crucial for tasks that require precise identification or discrimination among various stimuli.

An example of discrimination in operant conditioning in a classroom setting could be a teacher only providing positive reinforcement, such as praise or rewards, to students who raise their hands before speaking, while ignoring or reprimanding students who call out without raising their hands. This differential response to the behavior of raising hands versus calling out is an example of discrimination.

If you are referring to the country of Colombia, the biggest stereotype involves cocaine-- the belief that most people in Colombia are either drug dealers or somehow involved in the drug trade. Another stereotype (one which, sadly, is also heard about other Spanish-speaking countries) is that people who live in Colombia are mostly uneducated, or they are not very hard-working.

Prejudice and discrimination can arise from a combination of environmental factors, such as upbringing and societal influences, as well as individual psychological factors like fear of the unknown or feelings of superiority. These biases often stem from stereotypes and generalizations about certain groups of people, leading to discriminatory behavior based on factors like race, gender, religion, or socio-economic status. Ultimately, addressing these root causes requires education, empathy, and promoting diversity and inclusivity.

Prejudice and discrimination harm both the victim and the perpetrator. Victims may face emotional distress, diminished opportunities, and physical harm. Perpetrators may experience guilt, shame, and social consequences, such as alienation and legal repercussions. Thus, prejudice and discrimination have negative impacts on both individuals involved.

It is important for children to learn about discrimination, racism, and hate so they can understand the impact it has on individuals and society, develop empathy and respect for others, and stand up against injustice when they witness it. Educating children about these topics early on can help foster a more inclusive and equitable society in the future.

You can politely explain your unique situation and limitations due to your physical disability, emphasizing that you are doing the best you can. It may help to educate them about your specific needs and how they differ from others. Encourage open communication and understanding to find mutually acceptable solutions.

Mary Wollstonecraft, an Enlightenment thinker, argued for women's equality in her seminal work "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" published in 1792. She advocated for women to have access to education and opportunities equal to those of men in order to fully develop their potential and contribute to society.

Stimulus discrimination in operant conditioning refers to the ability to respond differently to similar stimuli based on specific cues or features present in the environment. In classical conditioning, stimulus discrimination involves learning to differentiate between two similar stimuli and responding differently to each based on the conditioning experience.

Prejudice and discrimination can manifest in lots of ways. It could be through hiring practices of a firm, though there are laws against that for many things. It could be a child only playing with children who are the same race, or someone of a certain race being served at a restaurant before someone of another race, even though that person was seated first. It could even be something subtile, like a disapproving look being given to someone who is different from you. The ways prejudice and discrimination can manifest are endless.

Gay people face discrimination due to prejudice and stereotypes held by individuals or institutions that may not support or accept sexual orientations beyond heterosexuality. Discrimination can stem from cultural, religious, or personal beliefs that contribute to marginalizing individuals who identify as gay. Additionally, legal and societal norms that do not provide equal rights and protections for the LGBTQ+ community can also perpetuate discrimination.

Women have always had rights. In the USA those have been guaranteed by Constitution. No women can be compelled to give evidence against themselves, or to be convicted twice of the same crime, or to surrender the right to speedy trial or right to bear arms.

No, "madam" is not inherently derogatory. It is a respectful term used to address or refer to a woman, particularly in a formal or polite context.

A person who ignores important things could be described as apathetic, negligent, or careless.

Girls by mrinal pande is an extremely thought provoking story which focuses on the male dominant indian socitey and how girl child is considered as taboo and a burden upon the mother. The fact that the story is dictated by a 8 year old girl makes it even more influencial on the readers . As the story progresses the readers are aclamtized too the female criticisive remarks by the various charecters in the essay I.E maa , nani, masi , maami few events which highlight the unjust treatment of the feamle children are : the train incident , Eavesdropping (unintentional) of the child , ashtami incident etc . Various sentences said by the child reflects the real ugly face of the female criticisive socitey from my point of view the most important 1 would be "when you people dont love girls , whydo you pretend to worship them.?" After reading this storey when you ask yourself " do we live in a modern society ?" I can guarentee you you will have the answer crystal clear in your very own mind !

Of course. Every once in a while all people are discriminated. The first people that come to mind are black and white people. A group of religion called Mormons are discriminated a lot, Muslims are sometimes discriminated. Think of any one type of person or group and they have once been, are being, or will be discriminated.

Predjudice and discrimination are basically the same thing but they are different prejudice Alouthough people relate it mostly to racism to african americans it actually means your against something with no reason or for unreasonable reasons. discrimination means treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit. So I guess you could say they are both related because they both mean to be against something for reasons someone cannot help. also you could say there both against something i guess but it wouldn't be very descriptive.

You understand that they cannot BE good and moral people, you just want to know how they can maintain a false image, right? The best way is probably to dehumanize or demonize the people they are killing, by, for example, blaming them for all the things that have gone wrong with your country, as Hitler did with the Jews, or for stealing away the land that "really" belongs to the genocidal people. This occurs even during ordinary wartime, and even in the US, for example during WWII when the US pictured the Japanese as devious little yellow-skinned creatures who really didn't qualify as equal human beings.
