age, sex, or disability is called
discrimination.
• Discrimination literally means
treating someone differently than
others (in a bad way).

DISCRIMINATIONS(ON DIFFERENT LEVELS)-
• Except these major types there are also other types of discriminations(on different levels)-
• Based on height- Shorter ones are mostly dominated by taller ones in almost all fields.
• Weight – Being fat or very thin sometimes results in not getting a job.(such as in movies)
• Appearance- How one looks overall is thought as what he/she can do in life.
• Physical condition(fit, fat , Handicapped etc.)- A handicapped or a blind of 1 eye or both is usually
seen not treated equally with the rest of the world. Even if they are capable of doing a particular work
, they are not provided with the opportunity to do so.

10. EFFECTIVE WAY TO TACKLE
DISCRIMINATION
• Embed Values like Love, Care, Affection towards all living beings in
this Universe. And not just embed but also express these in your
Behaviour as well as in Actions.
• Education also plays an important role, although we see
discrimination among educated ones too, on the contrary education
is a strong way to tackle discrimination and as education will increase
among people surely discrimination would decrease to an extent.
• Spread awareness about this among people.

11. CHILD LABOUR
• The term “child labour” is often defined as work that
deprives children of their childhood, their potential and
their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental
development. It refers to work that is mentally,
physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful
to children and interferes with their
schooling by depriving them of the opportunity to
attend school, obliging them to leave school
prematurely or requiring them to attempt to combine
school attendance with excessively long and heavy
work.
• So basically when a child is not able to enjoy his/her
childhood
and is in turn entitled to do work to support his/her
family and he/she is doing work that disturbs schooling
is termed child labour .

nation, children are in a pathetic condition.

15. CHILD LABOUR (PROHIBITION AND REGULATION)
ACT, 1986
• This act prohibits the employment of children in certain occupations and jobs( Which are
Hazardious in nature)

16. MEASURES TO CONTROL CHILD LABOUR
• Sending more and more children to school.
• Laws should be strict and should be implemented properly in order to ensure that no child is forced to
work.
• More and more government schemes and facilities for people who live below standard living conditions
should be made so that children would not need to work to support their families.
• Help the ones who are either disaster affected or suffered from some disease.
• Most important of all is to discourage child labour if seen somewhere and spread awareness among our
society.

17. POVERTY
• Poverty is a condition of an individual in which his
income is so low that he is unable to feed or provide
shelter for himself and his family members. Those
who do have such income are called poor.
• It is basically a situation in which ones doesn't have
enough of money to provide basic facilities like health,
water, food and many other necessities of life to their
family members and hence they are termed as "Being
Poor".
