Question

What is the difference between discrimination and prejudice

Answer 1

Discrimination vs Prejudice

Human behavior is defined as man’s reaction or response to either an external or an internal factor. It is designed in such a way that it ensures man’s survival against the environment and his growth as an individual. It is influenced by such factors as emotion, ethics, culture, persuasion, and genetics.

How a certain human behavior is accepted depends on each society’s norms. Some types of human behavior are acceptable while others are not. Some are common and some are unusual while others can evoke controversy.
Two very controversial human behaviors are discrimination and prejudice. Throughout human history, people have manifested discrimination and prejudice against certain individuals as well as against certain events, foods, and things.
While both discrimination and prejudice convey a negative towards someone or something and may refer to similar circumstances, they are distinct from each other. They complement each other as prejudice often leads to discrimination because discrimination is based upon prejudice. Discrimination is defined as the unfair treatment of an individual or group of people based upon favoritism and prejudice.
