Gender discrimination is when a person or a group of people is treated unfairly or unfairly because of their gender. Sexual abuse is a kind of gender discrimination against the law (Flage, 2018). Individualistic attributes were more masculine across cultures, although collectivist societies judged masculine features as collectivist rather than self-reliant (Flage, 2018). These findings support the theory that such inequitable distinctions cause salary disparities and the emergence of gendered employment. At the same time, it is slightly different when such acts are based on one’s ethnicity, which is when one belongs to any societal group of people that has a unified national or cultural background.
Moreover, there is a classification of the thinking model in which a person exalts his ethnicity over the rest – ethnocentrism. It is a conscious or unconscious cultural or ethnic prejudice in which an individual sees the world through the eyes of their group, assessing all others against this ideal (Flage, 2018). Consequently, such concepts and phenomena establish the basis of inequality and discrimination.
Furthermore, the emergence of such models as racism occurs as a coherent ideology. Instead of idealizing one’s group, a person is stating about race dominance, thus implying that white people prevail over black, having the main argument as skin color (Paradies, 2020). Such prejudice could be observed in the US during the 19th and 20th centuries (Mack et al., 2020). One of the main aspects of a racist society is segregation when there are schools, public transport, and other places of social interactions divided into different race groups (Mack et al., 2020). At the same time, assimilation of the victims consequently occurred, as opposing the government could result in fatal cases. Another example of racism could be observed in the Third Reich when Jews were massively eliminated due to their ethnicity, which was considered genocide. As a result, such examples represent the institutional discrimination created by governments, while social conflicts are categorized as individual ones.
