DEFINE DISCRIMINATION

Discrimination is when someone is treated unfairly or differently

because the person is one of a particular group. The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights affirms that all persons must be protected
against any kind of discrimination, or even its inciting.
A person might be discriminated against because of
their race, age, sex, politics, sexual orientation, gender
identity, religion, the way they look, a past criminal record, the
person's lifestyle, their choice of clothing, their age or
their disabilities whether they are a member of or fit in with a
social clique (group), social class, social status or caste, and many other
reasons.
Discrimination can take many forms. It can include being fired from a job, not
being able to be hired for a job, being paid less money than others at the same
job, being refused a home or apartment, teasing, harassment, or simply being
treated differently than other people. Laws known as "equal opportunity
legislation" protect people from discrimination. They say people should
be employed whatever their race, age, sex or religion. There should be reasonable
care for people with disabilities or accessibility. Two people in the
same position must be paid the same wage if they have exactly the same job.
In some countries, discrimination against somebody on the basis of race, sex,
religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability is illegal. Even in those countries
where discrimination is unlawful, it still takes place for reasons not covered by the
law. In some other countries, discrimination against somebody is legal or even
official government policy. This especially takes place in countries in which there
is an official religion, and people of other religions are discriminated against.
ABUSES
Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of a thing, often to unfairly or
improperly gain benefit.[1] Abuse can come in many forms, such as: physical or
verbal maltreatment, injury, assault, violation, rape, unjust practices, crimes, or
other types of aggression. To these descriptions, one can also add the Kantian
notion of the wrongness of using another human being as means to an end rather
than as ends in themselves.[2] Some sources describe abuse as "socially
constructed", which means there may be more or less recognition of the suffering
of a victim at different times and societies.[3]

VIOLENCE
Violence is "the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy".
[1]
 Other definitions are also used, such as the World Health Organization's
definition of violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power,
threatened[2] or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or
community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury,
death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation."[3]
Internationally, violence resulted in deaths of an estimated 1.28 million people in
2013 up from 1.13 million in 1990.[4] However, global population grew by roughly
1.9 billion during those years, showing a dramatic reduction in violence per
capita. Of the deaths in 2013, roughly 842,000 were attributed to self-harm
(suicide), 405,000 to interpersonal violence, and 31,000 to collective violence
(war) and legal intervention.[4] For each single death due to violence, there are
dozens of hospitalizations, hundreds of emergency department visits, and
thousands of doctors' appointments.[5] Furthermore, violence often has lifelong
consequences for physical and mental health and social functioning and can
slow economic and social development.
In 2013, of the estimated 405,000 deaths due to interpersonal violence globally,
assault by firearm was the cause in 180,000 deaths, assault by sharp object was
the cause in 114,000 deaths, and the remaining 110,000 deaths from other
causes.[4]
Violence in many forms can be preventable. There is a strong relationship
between levels of violence and modifiable factors in a country such as
an concentrated (regional) poverty, income and gender inequality, the harmful
use of alcohol, and the absence of safe, stable, and nurturing relationships
between children and parents. Strategies addressing the underlying causes of
violence can be relatively effective in preventing violence, although mental and
physical health and individual responses, personalities, etc. have always been
decisive factors in the formation of these behaviors.[6]
