Speech on discrimination based on gender,religious class etc
Answers
Good morning one and all present here. I'm Nikhil from class IX and I deem it as a privilege to get this opportunity to deliver a speech on discrimination based on gender, religion, class etc. It is quite natural to have privileged and not so privileged people in a society. But, at the same time, it is not at all natural to discriminate people on the basis of their gender, religion, status, and class. Every creature is the creation of almighty and He created men to rise above small feelings and live in unison with His other creations.
India being a secular republic gives freedom to her citizens to be treated as equals and anyone who violates the rules carries out a punishable act. If there are many religions in our country, each religious group has the freedom to exercise their right and follow their religion. Similarly, if anyone is ill-treated on the basis of gender or class, the matter can be reported for justice.
Now, the question arises why does the rift between have's and have not's create enmity between them and why the well offs can't take it as their responsibility to help the unprivileged instead of exploiting them. The reasons are as vast as human nature. To bring a change, what is needed is a complete change in the paradigm. Then only we can have some hope of cultivating brotherhood and love among the citizens. I request my audience to please think on the issue of discrimination with a new outlook and do what is needed to have a strong and united nation.
Thanks for giving a patient hearing.
In human social affairs, discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong rather than on individual attributes. This includes treatment of an individual or group, based on their actual or perceived membership in a certain group or social category, "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated".[1] It involves the group's initial reaction or interaction going on to influence the individual's actual behavior towards the group leader or the group, restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to another group, leading to the exclusion of the individual or entities based on logical or irrational decision making.[2]
Discriminatory traditions, policies, ideas, practices and laws exist in many countries and institutions in every part of the world, including in territories where discrimination is generally looked down upon. In some places, controversial attempts such as quotas have been used to benefit those who are believed to be current or past victims of discrimination—but they have sometimes been called reverse discrimination. In the US, a government policy known as affirmative actionwas instituted to encourage employers and universities to seek out and accept groups such as African Americans and women, who have been subject to discrimination for a long time.[3]
