  2. Why do discrimination exist?
    I think that discrimination is an unjustly act so that some people can show that they are more superior and important than others.

    What are some examples of discrimination?
    Race, sex, religion, and even on how people look.

    Have you ever witnessed/experienced an act of discrimination? Tell me more about it.
    Yes, there were people making fun of someone who had a darker skin than others. They tried to avoid or ignore him like he was not there at all.

    What are some preventions against discrimination? What can society, schools or you do to eliminate discrimination?
    In my opinion, if one is being discriminated, they should tell their parents, teachers and even policemen as they would help the victim. Schools also should educate the young by giving anti-discriminating lessons so that students can understand better. I also think discrimination should be an offence against the law. In that way, people who are guilty will learn their lesson and would not repeat discriminating others again.

  4. 1) Discrimination exists because a certain group of people think that they are more superior as compared to another person or group.
    2) Racism, sexism and weightism.
    3) Yes I have. It was back in primary school, in our class we had this kid who had mental disabilities. A rather large group of us ignored him, ostracised him, and even bullied him.
    4) One can alert the victim's parents, teachers or file a police report. As for schools, they can start implementing group work from the start of their education and from there they will learn by themselves how to work with all types of people from all races, backgrounds and different gender.

  6. discrimination exists because people think that they are more superior than the other party,examples of discrimination are racism,sexism.I read on an online article about a Japanese family has recently immigrated to Canada.Their son is attending a local school and has been bullied because he is from Japan.He is called racist names, pushed around in the hallway, and told to “go home”.The parents complained to the teacher and the principal but the school has not taken any action against the racial harassment, and the bullying has continued. The student does not wish to attend school and his school marks have fallen greatly. some of the adverts state that only people without disabilities can apply for that job,which is discriminating those with disabilities,there is no way to completely eliminate discrimination,however we can minimise the number of cases by making the punishment harsher.

  7. Discrimination exists because some people thinks it's funny or they think that the victim should be labeled as underling and in some cases, it is caused by improper upbringing or the wrong set of mind. Some common examples are sexism, racism, religious and disability discrimination. I have witnessed a lot of racial discrimination towards someone of a different country, in school and sometimes in public. The people would always call people names loudly when they are perfectly aware of the fact that the victim can hear. It is best to first warn the school pupils and educate them about it then implement harsher rules.
