Discrimination! How do you deal with it? | Chitchat

2017-10-02 CD君 CHINADAILY


Although we live in a world where more people than ever before have the right to freely express themselves, we encounter different kinds of prejudices every day and sometimes we ourselves may be the victim of prejudice. 


Discrimination based on age, sexual orientation, disability, etc., is taking place everywhere. 



Let's take sex discrimination as an example. 


In ancient time, people lived in a male-dominated society. Women were seen as a possession, so they were many times treated cruelly. 


It is true that after the hard work of many activists and feminists, women's social status has improved a lot, with many working shoulder to shoulder with men.



However, there's a new kind of discrimination — workplace discrimination. Some jobs only recruit male workers. Sometimes, female candidates are asked about their marriage or pregnancy plans. The answers may even decide a female's career path. There are some reports about women losing their jobs because of maternity leave. 

Have you experienced or witnessed any kind of discrimination? How do you deal with it?
