P1 - Explain the range of meanings attached to citizenship, diversity and the
associated terminology
The definition of citizenship is the status of being a citizen, along with the rights, duties and
privileges of being a citizen. An example of citizenship is someone being born in the United
Kingdom and having access to all the same freedoms and rights as those already living in the
UK.

 Racism - Racism is when a certain person is treated differently or discriminated
against because of their skin colour so race or ethnicity. The most recent example of
this would be the George Floyd incident where a black man was killed by a police
officer pinning his neck down with his knee for nine minutes even though Floyd was
begging and claiming he couldn’t breathe.

 Institutional racism – This is the failure of an organization to provide a professional
service to a person or group of people purely because of their skin colour (race) or
ethnicity. An example of this would be the two paratroopers who went through this
when pictures of them were drawn with Hitler moustaches on their faces as well as
Nazi flags.

 Multiculturalism – the co-existence of diverse cultures, including racial, religious, or
cultural groups and is manifested in customary behaviours, cultural assumptions and
values, patterns of thinking, and communicative styles

 Ethnocentricity – Ethnocentricity refers to a belief that your culture or ethnic group
is superior to another's. Ethnocentric individuals are biased in that they draw
conclusions about other cultural groups based on their own cultural values, norms,
and traditions. For example, the English defence league believe that their culture is
much better than people that are Islamic.

 Sexism – Discrimination based on sex or gender, especially against women and
girls. Sexism has come up a lot in jobs like the fire service ad people see it as more of
a man’s job and give funny looks when they see a woman in the uniform.

 Heterosexist – Discrimination or prejudice against gay people on the assumption that
heterosexuality is the normal sexual orientation.

 Homophobia – The fear, hatred, discomfort with or mistrust of people who are
lesbian, gay or bisexual. In the public services during the time period 1533 to 1967
public services did not hire anyone that was of gay sexual orientation as it was
deemed illegal to be a homosexual in those days.

 Equal opportunities – the principle of treating all people the same, and not
being influenced by a person's sex, race, religion. The Public sector equality duty

, came into force in 2011 to protect people going for jobs in the uniformed public
services from being turned away because of their race, gender or religion.

 Equality – Equality is defined as the condition of being equal, or the same in quality,
measure, esteem or value. In the public services, there has been a lot of discussions
and petitions to treat men and women the same on the job and not discriminate
them because of gender.

 Prejudice – injury or damage resulting from some judgment or action of another in
disregard of one's rights.

 Harassment – If someone is abusing, insulting, or otherwise harming you on a regular
basis, it's called harassment. Cruel and usually really annoying, harassment is also
illegal in some cases.

 Victimisation – The action of singling someone out for cruel or unjust treatment. At
Deepcut army barracks Private James was found dead, this was thought to be
suicide. She has been victimised and singles out by the higher ranks because she
didn’t partake in sexual activities.

 Disability – a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses,
or activities. Military forces are exempt from treating people differently for reason
which are disability and age. However, a lot of military regiments have hired people
with some disabilities for things such as technology and computer hacking as a lot of
them have been found to be really smart.

 Direct discrimination – when you're treated differently and worse than someone else
for certain reasons.

 Indirect discrimination - when there is a policy that applies in the same way for
everybody but disadvantages a group of people who share a protected
characteristic, and you are disadvantaged as part of this group.
