Hi student! I'm Brian Perez from Teaching and Digital Tools. In this video we will see
"Discrimination".
To address the issue we will also explain what Stereotypes and Prejudices are.
Are you ready?
A STEREOTYPE is a very general mental image, based more on the emotional than on the rational, with which it is intended to characterize a social group in its physical appearance or behavior.
Some of these social groups can be, "the young people", "the immigrants", "the models", and "the elderly".
A stereotype has two fundamental characteristics: It is shared by many people and an entire social group is imaginatively characterized.
When, based on the stereotype, a negative assessment of a group is made, the result is PREJUDICE.
For example,
“Young people are lazy”, “Immigrants are dirty”, “Models are hollow”, "Old people are slow”.
In these cases, the negative assessment only takes into account that the individual belongs to a certain social category, without considering the individual characteristics or actions of the person. Both stereotypes and prejudices produce self-fulfilling effects. This means that what we expect to see conditions what we really see, and when we find ourselves in front of people who belong to the groups about which we have prejudices, it always seems to us that these are confirmed
Now that we understand what Stereotypes and Prejudices are. ..Have you ever wondered where they come from?
Our prejudices and stereotypes have not been built by ourselves, but they come from the environment in which we move and the education we have received. However, that does not mean that we are not responsible for our prejudiced and stereotypical gaze.
Sure, you've heard that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It is exactly the same with people. With the exception that unlike books we can hurt them. Watch out!
Understanding who others are helps to eliminate our prejudices. So respectful interaction with others is advisable. Try to get to know people rather than pigeonhole them. And if ... it is not in our interest to know this or that person, neither would it be in our interest to prejudge him or her.
When prejudices lead a person to act in a certain way towards members of the prejudiced group, the result is discrimination.
For example,
I do not hire any young people (because I prejudge that they are all lazy); I do not rent my house to any immigrant (because I prejudge that they are dirty); I do not entrust important matters to a model (because I judge that they are hollow).
Discrimination goes beyond prejudice, whenever the negative assessment manifests a conduct that hurt or harms one or more people. Therefore, DISCRIMINATION exists when the State, society, a group or an individual separate, exclude, expel or even kill a person or group; They attack their dignity or prevent the exercise of their rights, based on a prejudice. That is, by the sole fact that this person is socially assigned a negative, real or imagined assessment .
NON-DISCRIMINATION does not mean that differences should be annulled, but rather that the State and society recognize the differences and allow them to manifest themselves.
This is called RECOGNITION, which is the opposite of discrimination.
Both non-recognition and distorted recognition are forms of social oppression.
Therefore, it can be said that DISCRIMINATION is a relationship of subordination between an oppressive group and an oppressed group, or between privileged and non-privileged groups.
So, practicing RECOGNITION implies acceptance of the other, as they are, and respect for their way of being, their customs and traditions.
Now that we have introduced ourselves to the concept of discrimination, I invite you to watch the next video that explains the types of discrimination and the actions that the State can take to combat them.
