Task 1Racism – Racism is discrimination or antagonism that is directed to someone who is of a different race.
This could be treating someone differently because of their skin colour, religion or nationality.
Sexist – A person who shows discrimination on the basis of sex, usually against women. An example of
this could be paying women less than men for the same job or making a judgment that women don’t like
playing sports.
Prejudice – ‘reading a book by its cover’. Means that someone holds a negative opinion on a person
based just on stereotypes. An example of this would be someone judging black people and thinking they
break the law. Have no reason or facts to judge someone.
Racist – Is a person who shows discrimination against someone who is of a different race. These people
think their race is more superior. Examples are attacks on the streets which impact the police and
ambulance services.
Heterosexist – A person that believes being heterosexual is correct and that all other relationships like
same sex relationships are incorrect. This could be a problem with the public services as gay people may
be abused verbally or physically due to that person's beliefs.
Harassment – Unwelcome attention from someone else which can range from being called names,
inappropriate comments. People can be targeted this way because of their race, gender etc. An example
is calling someone stupid.
Institutionalised Racism – It is discrimination to someone or to a group of people because of race within
a society or organisation. An example of this is a court coming to a verdict that is in favour of one but not
the other racial group.
Homophobia- This is showing a dislike towards individuals who are homosexual. Homophobia has been
linked with abuse in the streets towards gays or lesbians, involving UPS such as police and ambulance.
Victimisation- Action of singling someone out for cruel or unjust treatment. This could involve the police
as there might be crime on a streets as a result.
Multiculturalism- This is a society where many different cultures live together. An example of this is the
UK where there are many cultures amongst different people. This can involve the police force because
some might disagree with others culture and discriminate.
Equal Opportunity- Right to be treated without discrimination. An example is that everyone is allowed to
join the UPS no matter of race, religion, gender etc.
Disability – When someone has a physical or mental impairment. Disables them from doing day to day
tasks such as getting up or going to work.
Direct and Indirect discrimination- Direct discrimination is treating someone differently to others
because of their gender, race, sexual orientation etc. Indirect discrimination is treating a person the same
as others; however it has a negative impact on them.
Equality – Means that people have the same value of each other. All about treating people with respect
and fairly. An example
Ethnocentricity – Belief that one persons culture, nationality or traditions are more superior to another.
An example of this would be Hitler believing the Aryan race was superior to Jews.
