Age Discrimination

Ageism or age discrimination is discrimination and stereotyping based on the grounds of someone's age.
It is a set of beliefs, norms, and values which used to justify discrimination or subordination based on a
person's age.Ageism is most often directed towards old people, or adolescents and children.

Disability

Discrimination against people with disabilities in favor of people who are not is called ableism or
disablism. Disability discrimination, which treats non-disabled individuals as the standard of 'normal
living', results in public and private places and services, education, and social work that are built to serve
'standard' people, thereby excluding those with various disabilities. Studies have shown, employment is
needed to not only provide a living but to sustain mental health and well-being.

Language

Diversity of language is protected and respected by most nations who value cultural diversity However,
people are sometimes subjected to different treatment because their preferred language is associated
with a particular group, class or category. Notable examples are the Anti-French sentiment in the United
States as well as the Anti-Quebec sentiment in Canada targeting people who speak the French language.
Commonly, the preferred language is just another attribute of separate ethnic group.

Nationality

Discrimination on the basis of nationality is usually included in employment laws section for employment
discrimination. It is sometimes referred to as bound together with racial discrimination although it can
be separate. It may vary from laws that stop refusals of hiring based on nationality, asking questions
regarding origin, to prohibitions of firing, forced retirement, compensation and pay, etc., based on
nationality.

Religious

Religious discrimination is valuing or treating people or groups differently because of what they do or do
not believe or because of their feelings towards a given religion. For instance, the indigenous Christian
population of the Balkans, known as the "rayah" or the "protected flock", was subjected to
discrimination under the Ottoman Kanun–i–Rayah. The word is sometimes translated as 'cattle' rather
than 'flock' or 'subjects' in order to emphasize the Christian population's inferior status to that of the
Muslim rayah.

Sex and Gender

Though gender discrimination and sexism refer to beliefs and attitudes in relation to the gender of a
person, such beliefs and attitudes are of a social nature and do not, normally, carry any legal
consequences. Sex discrimination, on the other hand, may have legal consequences. Though what
constitutes sex discrimination varies between countries, the essence is that it is an adverse action taken
by one person against another person that would not have occurred had the person been of another sex.
