According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, DISCRIMINATION or the so-called,

Prejudice is an injury from judgment or action of another in disregard of one’s rights.
In other words, it is an unfavorable opinion or feeling with senseless thought or reason,
It simply means to pre-judge others.

Discrimination can have strong influence on how people behave and interact with
others, particularly with those who are different from them. Discrimination is baseless
and usually negative toward a member of a group.

Forms of Discrimination
There are various forms of discrimination that most of the people have been facing. Here
are some of the few and common ones:

Age Discrimination: This happens when someone is treated unfavorably against you
or bullies you because of your age. This also happens when a requirement, condition or
practice is imposed that disadvantages a person or group because of their age and is
not reasonable.

9
Disability Discrimination: it is when you are treated less well or put at a
disadvantage for a reason that relates to your disability.

Gender Discrimination: It is also known as sexual discrimination. It is any action that

specifically denies opportunities, privileges, or rewards to a person (or a group) because
of gender.

Political Belief/Affiliation Discrimination: This happens when a person (or a group)

is unfavorably through bashing especially in social media because of their political
thoughts and ideas do not go along with the majority. This kind of prejudice is common
in the Philippines.
