The forms of discrimination are ranged from small-unseen circumstances all the way over to the huge world changing events that are left for everyone to see.

To start with we need to agree with what the term of discrimination is, it is the form of which a person is discriminated because of certain aspects. This could be for one of the following, religion, appearance, age, disability, ability, sex, and of course colour. The following events have all showed us the sheer terrific ability of discrimination can have, but if you go back even further back to 1939 and even before that discrimination was the reason for over 6,000,000 Jewish people being exterminated.

Now we all think that this is a sad and disgusting fact but when you start to believe the reasons for why they are being discriminated then that makes them just as bad as the people who are doing it. Back in the 12th Century in England the Jews where ‘known’ as the plague and were treated in the same ways in which they were in the Holocaust.

Many things cause discrimination but it is normally from the form of prejudice, which is a form of pre-judging person as stated in the name. Prejudice is caused from many things and this can be because of your feelings towards a person, rather then the whole race, it could be from a past experience, a lack of trust and most of all a lack of knowledge.

Discrimination is happening every day and in every place around the world and sometimes is less obvious then others. For example building a housing estate without access for the disabled is an actual sign of discrimination towards the disabled. Even though this is less obvious to people with all there necessary needs in life, this would not be the case to someone who was disabled.

There is a notable difference between someone who is prejudice and someone who is discriminating and that is that discrimination is a visible action and is viewed by others whilst prejudice is something that no one else has no know about. I bet every single person on these forums will agree with me that they have some prejudice against others. Whether it would be for any reason what so ever, although at this moment in time I can imagine the reason being for colour of skin.

The recent events have showed us just the capabilities of one-person actions and what they can have on the rest of the world. As I type this SAS members are out in Afghanistan fighting against acts to humanity. Police are now constantly on standby for something to happen and the Muslims of the country live in fear for their lives because of the peoples attitude towards them.

Can a person be judged because of this? Because I don’t think so, how would you all be feeling right now if the hijackers where British? It would be a different story. Now I am sorry to bring this up it just seems that no one has come to learn anything from the disasters on the 11th, you can’t judge other people from there age, sex, appearance and anything else you can possibly think of.

Thanks for reading
