The different types of discrimination in the world
Physical appearance:
- age
In our present society, most employers tend to employ those who are below 50 years old, thus it is also harder of people above 50 to find suitable jobs for themselves.
-size
When we see someone who is rather large in size, we would normally deduce that he is unfit however this is being proved wrong as some fat people can swim really fast, and even do street dance.
-height
Some women prefer to have taller boyfriends than shorter ones.
-handicap disabilities
Disabled people are often not being hired by employers and at most of the time they were not even given to the chance to go for an interview.
Education:
-non-educated
The people without a degree would be much harder to get a job as compared to those with a degree, even though they have the same skills.
-scholarships
Students from good schools are more likely to receive scholarships from the government.
- male
Males are less hardworking than females, in terms of studying.
- female
Most people feel that women are no0t as sporty as men, however this is not real true as some women are really fit and can run even faster that men.
