After the Civil Rights movement ended in the early 1970’s, minority groups began to find security in their societal position at last. On the other hand, they were also aware that their efforts would have to be perpetual in order to obtain the justice, the rights, and the treatment that they and their ancestors so rightly deserved. For many years, they felt less than human in the United States, despite their extraordinary talents and attributes that contributed to American society in countless ways. A minority group’s flaw is not that the group is mentally incompetent; however, they are socially flawed because they are not the majority, which makes them vulnerable to social isolation. Different was the vague term of how minority groups felt before and even after the movement; they did not fit in with the status quo because of their physical characteristics. Minorities were discriminated against which meant they were overlooked and denied equal rights and treatment because they were not of the dominate race. Discrimination is a word that pierces the hearts of those who are not a member of the dominate group in whatever area of the country they are in, which in this case was white, Anglo-Saxon Americans.
White people made assertive efforts to maintain the tradition of American after slavery was prohibited, which meant they did not tolerate any other race, ethnicity, and religion to be equal to theirs. Therefore, they denied minority groups equal facilities, equal schools, equal restaurants, and even equal jobs. This created the foundation for American discriminators to continue the legacy of their prejudice, racist, and even slave-owning ancestors. On the other hand, white people are not the only race to practice...

Does the name Jim Crow ring a bell? Neither singer nor actor, but actually the name for the Separate but Equal (Jim Crow) Laws of the 1900s. Separate but Equal Laws stated that businesses and public places had to have separate, but equal, facilities for minorities and Caucasian people. Unfortunately, they usually had different levels of maintenance or quality. Lasting hatred from the civil war, and anger towards minorities because they took jobs in the north probably set the foundation for these laws, but it has become difficult to prove. In this essay, I will explain how the Separate but Equal Laws of twentieth century America crippled minorities of that time period forever.

With all of these facts, the author tries to prove that racial differences and privileges appear exaggerated and unrealistic. The privileged and less privileged exist at all levels of society. Duke wants white people to understand that they are in the same position as all other races. The awareness of “white privilege” is only a fallacy that causes feel of guilt without foundation.
Over the past four-hundred plus years, racism has plagued the history of American society. The idea that one person is inherently better than another because of the color of their skin has always been present from our founding to today. During the rise of the Civil Rights movement in the mid 1900’s, racism was repeatedly being dealt blows by those brave enough to stand up for the rights they felt belonged to citizens of all shapes and colors. One important event that led to progress for people of color was the desegregation of the schooling systems. From young girls walking into all-white schools to black men being selected to participate in different academies, the Civil Rights movement to desegregate schools was influential in how progress
There are different types of discrimination against a job applicant or an employee. It is prohibited by law to make biased decisions based on preconception to group of people according to a certain race, national origin, class, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, age, disabilities, genetic information etc. All developed countries have an advanced legislation to protect job applicants and employees against different types of discrimination in many types of work situations such as hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages and benefits. This paper examines issues associated with the main forms of discrimination.
