Answer:

Discrimination is making a distinction against a person or thing based on the group, class or category they belong to, rather than basing any action on individual merit. A simple distinction between prejudice and discrimination is that prejudice is to do with attitude, discrimination is to do with action.

Prejudice can be an affective feeling towards a person based on their perceived group membership. 

  • The word is often used to refer to a preconceived (usually unfavourable) evaluation or classification of another person based on that person's perceived political affiliation, sex, gender, gender identity, beliefs, values, social class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, culture, complexion, beauty, height, occupation, wealth, education, criminality, sport-team affiliation, music tastes or other personal characteristics.

$\Large \bf \blue{○ \ \ Discrimination}$

Discrimination is the act of making unjustified distinctions between people based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they belong or are perceived to belong. 

  • People may be discriminated on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation, as well as other categories. Discrimination especially occurs when individuals or groups are unfairly treated in a way which is worse than other people are treated, on the basis of their actual or perceived membership in certain groups or social categories. 
  • It involves restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group.
