Discrimination

Lucio

Discrimination is the act of separating or form groups of
people from a criterion or criteria. In its broadest sense,
discrimination is a way to sort and classify. You can refer to
any field, and can use any criteria. If we talk about human
beings, for example, can discriminate among other criteria,
age, skin color, education level, knowledge, wealth, eye color,
etc.. But we can also discriminate energy sources, works of
literature, animals, etc.
However, in more colloquial usage, the term discrimination
refers to the act of making a distinction or segregation
violates the equal opportunities. Usually used to refer to the
violation of equal rights for individuals by social issues, racial,
religious, sexual orientation or gender. Taking a part of Article

Discrimination be classified or be defined in two parts.

types of discrimination
Racism

Saul

Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute
race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities
and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a
particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial
discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain
racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive
preferential treatment.
Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic
differences between different groups of people, although
anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural
basis, independently of their somatic differences. According to
the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction
between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity
discrimination.
Xenophobia

Jesus

The xenophobia is the hatred and I reject abroad, with
manifestations that go from the more or less manifest
rejection, the scorn and the threats, up to the aggressions and
murders. One of the most common forms of xenophobia is the
one that is exercised depending on the race, this is, the
racism. The " International Convention on the Elimination of all
the Forms of Racial Discrimination defines the racial
discrimination or xenophobia as:
Any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on
motives of race, color, lineage or national or ethnic origin that
it has as an object or as proved ring-finger or to reduce the
recognition, possession or exercise, in conditions of equality,
of the human rights and fundamental freedoms in the spheres
political, economic, social, cultural or in any other sphere of
the public life.
Machismo

Colque

The machismo, expression derived from the word macho, is
the set of attitudes and learned sexist annoying practices or
offensives carried out in favor of the maintenance of social
orders in which the women are submitted or discriminated.
The machismo is considered to be a principal causer of
behaviors heterosexistas or homophobic and, even,
homosexuals. That conduct permeates different levels of the
company from the early childhood up to the adulthood with
initiations of fraternidades and other pressures of the so called
equal groups. In the matter, the dictionary of the Royal
Academy of the Spanish Language defines Machismo as the "
Attitude of omnipotence of the males I concern of the women
" The machismo includes the set of attitudes, conducts, social
practices and beliefs destined to justify and promote the
maintenance of conducts perceived traditionally like
heterosexually masculine and, also, discriminatory against the
women. Some critics consider the discrimination to be also a
machismo against other social groups perceived as more
weak persons, since in case of men whose behavior, for
example for having a homosexual preference, is not
"masculine" to the eyes of the person machist. In all the

cases, the preponderantly masculine conduct is the dominant
one.

Homophobia

Daniel

The term homophobia refers to the distaste, hatred, prejudice
or discrimination against men or homosexual women, though
also there are included other persons who integrate to the
sexual diversity, since it is the case of the bisexual or
transsexual persons, and who support attitudes or habits
commonly associated with another sex, as the metrosexuals
and the persons " with pen ". The corresponding adjective is
"homophobic".
Homophobia is not a strictly psychiatric term. It is calculated
that every two days a homosexual person is murdered in the
world due to violent acts linked to the homophobia.
International amnesty denounces that more than 70 countries
chase still to the homosexuals and eight condemn them to
death.
Certain relativism exists on what it includes the concept of
homophobia. This way for example, which reject the policies
of equality (between persons of different sexual orientation)
think that this rejection is not a homophobia, but simply an
equally respectable opinion as the approval.
