discrimination across independent organizations but yet in the
long run connected by special factors. Measuring discrimination
can be quite had as the timing is difficult to trace as well as the
extent. Therefore accuracy can’t be guaranteed and the impacts
of the situation can be quite wide and severe. At first,
cumulative discrimination makes small changes in the
beginning. These changes grow over time and cause future
problems (Napedu, 2004).
Looking at the human rights watch, the contributor’s research
suggests the same analogies as the nap Edu. It acknowledges
that discrimination makes it hard for the affected members to
develop socially and economically as the people who don’t not
face the same issues. There is a limitation of resources and the

3. struggle to make the resources available be beneficial to the
people affected. The webpage LU Lisa Unger **Can not use

suggest that there is a need for the private sectors and the
government to breach the gap so as to be able to overcome the
social and economic needs of the marginalized by the
discrimination issues. The webpage unlike the nap education
one suggests that the link to discrimination is poverty. It
acknowledges that even though measures have been taken by
Universal Declaration of human rights (UDHR), International
covenant on civil and political rights (ICCPR), and the
international covenant on economic, social and cultural rights
(ICESCR) among many other non-profit organizational entities
by prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion,
opinion, language, sex, origin or status, the problem is very
much real to date. The discriminated seem to be struggling
economically, living in the rural areas and surviving on limited
resources (Bacigalupo, 2012).
The problem are as real then as they are now. Looking at the
racial discrimination based on ethnicity in Rwanda as the
genocide showed, the Dalits in Bangladesh India still have a lot
of difficulty being regarded as dust LU Lisa Unger Need
supporting ciation. . Poor communities in Korea, japan,
Portugal and Roma Slovenian. Developed countries like the US,
the relationship between discrimination and poverty is quite
clear with the Africans Americans and Latinos occupying areas
where poverty and less of resources is evident. The number
arrests made over the years are highly populated with African
Americans followed by Latinos with a significantly low
population of the white people LU Lisa Unger Supporting
citation needed. . The webpage suggests that there need to be
additional laws made and amendments made on existing laws
against direct and indirect discrimination by government and
the private sectors. It suggests that people and organizations
need to push for agendas that alienate discrimination and push
for social and economic development for the people to promote

4. healing and integration. There is a need to push away feelings
that promote discrimination in the name of Aids. The webpage
suggests though efforts has been made, more still has to be done
to rid of the menace that is discrimination (Bacigalupo, 2012).
The soapboxie page is an insightful page as opposed to just
being an informatory webpage. It LU Lisa Unger Can not use
this source either. gives reasons and suggests and recommends
on areas of improvement that are necessary to be done for steps
in the right direction to be made. The webpages suggests that
not only do the individuals who face discrimination directly or
indirectly, but the community as well. According to the page,
racism is taught. It suggests that racism decays social, moral
and economic status of any country. There is a suggestion that
even with the end and abolition of slavery, discrimination still
had roots that went way deep in society. Simple commentaries
could result in a big revolution. Discrimination found it way in
voting rights, socialization, sexual relations, marriages,
education and even entertainment. It’s so far gone that not only
is it a matter of psychological threat but physical death as
people are being murdered. Sates legalized discrimination up to
the late 1960s and some stuck put to the 21st century
(soapboxie, 2016).
The page goes on to suggest that there is a lot of misconception
and lack of understanding to the deeper issues. By promoting
discrimination of whatever category strains any country from
developing socially and economically and thus no efforts to
promote discrimination are actually helpful to any country.
From the page there is a clear show that the contributor doesn’t
not support that the legislative arm of any government is solely
responsible for dealing with discrimination, the contributor
makes it clear that although the law is part of the solution,
humanity is a greater solution to the problem. Humanity gets to
the core of any human being and if there was consideration for
the well-being of another person, then a lot of issues
contributed to by discrimination would be non-existent. The
contributor appeals to the readers that though no one or no

5. system can claim to have the full solution to discrimination, if
little efforts are made daily, then slowly discrimination can be
dealt with (soapboxie, 2016).
Different analogies have been drawn to explain the existence of
discrimination and several solutions have been put out as well.
Some of the analogies suggests that discrimination began from
the beginning of existence of mankind. It came growing forth
and got to the point where it was taught through perceptions.
Asians were described as sneaky, blacks were referred to
criminals whereas the whites were referred to as evil. Other
analogies suggested that the media played a big role in
promoting discrimination as most roles are awarded to the
whites and when the afro Americans get the roles, they had
those that consisted as villains. This included criminal roles,
gangster roles like drug peddling and prostitution among others.
while most must be in favor of the analogies fewer though
significant moves have been made to decrease the negative
perception of the Latinos and Afro Americans as though the
whites are seen to ‘hate the ‘black people’’, they in some way
do trust them. Most nannies are from Afro Americans and the
Latino communities (OHRC, 2016).
And while discrimination has shown a lot of negative energy
towards the issue, there is a different meaning to it. Some
webpages suggest that discrimination has brought about some
positive attributes to the society. Discrimination has been
attributed to making the affected parties strive hard especially
in terms of education so as to bridge the gap. Discrimination
serves as a motivation and increased a sense of responsibilities
to not only one’s lives to other peoples as well. There is great
motivation for the affected people to work harder in their fields
so as to achieve more out of the opportunities presented to
them. Likewise, there have been greater efforts for the older
generation to take care of the latter generation by ensuring their
future is much better than theirs. Also, with time, civil human
rights movements have come to fight against the same issues so
as to promote equality in all phases of life for all people. Such

6. efforts can be contributed to veterans like Dr. Martin Luther
King (OHRC, 2016).
This has prompted for greater questions to be asked. Is
discrimination an issue of superiority or just a simple case of
misconception? Is there a lack of understanding to what
discrimination is to today’s society or is it a simple case of
ignorance. Are there more drastic measures against
discrimination that can overcome the previous efforts made to
end discrimination? Is law and humanity the best that can be
done to solve the problem that persists that is discrimination? Is
discrimination a scientific, biological or societal issue and how
do all these elements correlate? How can people make
contributions to eradicate discrimination at home, at workplaces
and other places as well as individuals or groups? In what ways
do people create awareness on the controversial topic in the
wake of techno capability and social media outlets? All these
are issue that are pertinent on discrimination and are issues that
need to be solved. Though the issue is wide, a lot still has to be
done and there is room for improvements and more changes to
be made in the society whether individually or in groups
(OHRC, 2016).
