...The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community is one of the most unique subcultures out there because it focuses on something that most people take for granted: their identity. For most in this community, questioning that identity starts at a young age. They will notice that something is different about them, and some know right away how they are different. For others, it can take years to find themselves. Even if someone does know from a young age who they are, they can be met by obstacles in the form of society, their culture, and even their parents. Though LGBT community has faced a lot of discrimination and prejudice, through the building LGBT community and positive media representation, the community has seen a lot of improvement....

Provide citations for all the sources you use. * What is discrimination? Discrimination is the denial of oppurtunities & equal rights to individuals and groups because of predjuice or arbitrary reasons. Simply put discrimination means to single out an individual or group based on either race, age, gender or religion. Being bias or prejudice results in denial of opportunity or causes unfair treatment regarding selection, promotion or transfer. The way discrimination is different from stereotyping is because when you stereotype an individual or group you make exaggerating comments about that particular group or person for example saying all white people are uncaring or stating all children are loud and obnoxious. This might fit some individuals characteristics but it would be stereotyping the whole group if stating everyone of that age or race acted or did the same things. * From Ch. 3 of Racial and Ethnic Groups, describe at least one cause of discrimination and one effect of it.

...and therefore there should be no discrimination. History shows the discrimination of African-Americans and how our country has evolved regarding racism, but now there is a form of discrimination that is becoming more prevalent. This form of discrimination is towards those of other sexual orientations, such as those who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Discrimination, under any circumstances, is morally wrong, and discrimination based on sexual orientation needs to be addressed. Along with the degrading discrimination based on sexual orientation, comes the subjection of verbal abuse and other hate crimes. A gay and lesbian anti-violence report states that 75% of hate crimes are committed by people under the age of 30, and one in three are under the age of 18. More than 80% of victims of violent hate crimes never report the incident, because many are afraid they will be “outed”. Such horrific discrimination and violence can often result in low self esteems, and in some cases, even suicide. Young lesbians, gays, and bisexuals are at a quadruple risk for suicide than people of the same age that are straight. Anti-gay hate crime rates have risen dramatically; an incredible 172% in just the past decade. This tragedy has even become prevalent in families. One study showed that 26% of gay and lesbian teenagers who came out to their parents were kicked out of their homes, and 42% of homeless teens are gay, lesbian, or bisexual. There is even discrimination in the workforce. A survey of two-...

...A World of Hate Ever wonder what influences a hate crime? Crimes committed through acts of violence because of differences sometimes result in fatalities. It is because of one’s belief, morals, feelings and teachings that influence hate toward others. Populations such as race, sexuality and religion are targeted by hate crimes because of bias, discrimination and prejudice which encourage hate. According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, hate crime is defined as any of various crimes (as assault or defacement of property) when motivated by hostility to the victim as a member of a group (as one based on color, creed, gender or sexual orientation). Diversity plays a major role when it comes to hate. Differences among each classified group (named above) are reasons why prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes take place causing ill feelings toward these groups. A person’s prejudice may lead to an act of aggression, but hate crimes are mainly caused by a feeling of being threatened by the combination of a certain group of people which the perpetrator is already prejudiced against. Bias-motivated crimes are designed to intimidate the victim and members of the victim’s community in which it leaves them feeling isolated, vulnerable, and unprotected by the law. Hate groups take advantage of economic pain and conspiracy theories. Many of those involved with these hate groups are living in neighborhoods that are decreasing economically and at the same time, demographics rapidly...

...said these famous words and she could not have been more accurate. Discrimination and hate are not going away anytime soon but educating our youth on history, diversity, and prejudice could very well be the key to coming closer to the end. First I would like to discuss what I have learned from this class about diversity, discrimination, and prejudice. Honestly I had a general idea of what these three words meant but overall I was not entirely clear on their meaning let alone the severity of them in America. Like most people I was aware of the Civil Rights Movement and Act and knew that African American endured quite the challenge of gaining their rights and freedom but reading the text I was able to understand more of what happened and the challenges overcome. Also, from the text I was able to see that African Americans were not the only ones who faced prejudice and discrimination. So many people, me included, tend to not think about what woman, disabled people, and many other races have gone through to earn the same rights as everyone else. This class really opened my eyes and let me see how I was not seeing the “whole picture” and was not educating myself to help others. I am a Caucasian female and did not notice discrimination or hate around me due to the fact that I have not had to go through any. I grew up in a predominately white neighborhood and had both parents working so did not see discrimination. Learning what woman have gone through to be able to work and have same...

... Sociological Issue-Racism Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids racial discrimination and persecution during the process of hiring, discharging, promoting, salary(pay), job training, fringe benefits, referrals, classifications, and other facets of occupations during and after employment on the foundation of color, race, religion, national origin, and sex (EEOC, 2011). The 2010 census results make available comprehensive household categorizations by race, age, relationship, and also showed statistics that those of Non-Hispanic Caucasian children at this time makeup the minority of new born babies in the U.S. underlining demographic alterations that could reform U.S. government policies concerning more than just civil rights (US Census). Prejudice, Racism, and Discrimination From the time when Christopher Columbus arrived to the “New World” Many aspects have transformed. Individuals from all around the globe throughout times past have immigrated to America so they could have the chance to live a free and better life. They arrived with the mentality to work earnestly as well as bring in money for their loved ones, but they were undoubtedly by no means prepared to be confronted with the reality that some people in the U.S. at no time wanted them to arrive in the U.S. in the first place. There was a feeling of anger and even hate steered towards them,...

Many members of the LGBT community make up the majority of the crimes that are the most underreported. Laws against Hate Crimes Laws against hate crimes and discrimination were created because members within this community are being discriminated against daily and at alarming rates. Transgender people are fighting against discrimination at work, schools, housing and public places, to include the ability to use the appropriate restrooms. Contrary to what is seen on television, such as Orange is the New Black, within prison/jails populations, most transgendered people are not housed with the sex they identify with.
