 discrimination in Canada and US

Discrimination can be termed as treating people differently because of one or more of their physical features. It is always the wrong way of handling the other people that look a certain way or a certain way. One of the ways that one might be discriminated is by their physical appearance or someone’s physique. One can be discriminated against because of their sex, race, or even where one resides. Discrimination can deter someone because someone qualified is denied an opportunity for the reason that can be overlooked. Canada has not left aside when it comes to this.

There are various ways in which discrimination takes place in Canada. Racial discrimination is prevalent, yet also in this time of the century, some people are still discriminated against for their sex. Sex discrimination is ordinarily visible in workplaces that have defined that a particular job could well suit a man or a woman than the other way around. In tasks that are more physical in some cases, the man is preferred and in service work, or when a caring hand is needed, a woman could be preferred. A good example is the construction work where men are preferred to the ladies, while in caring for jobs such as nursing and secretarial duties, a woman is still preferred. A survey was done, and it appears discrimination is even worse in Canada than in the United States.

Canada is seen in an article by Global news, that it still faces discrimination when it comes to hiring. A report by Meghan collie states that in a new study, in Canada, visible minorities face more discrimination in hiring than if the case was in the united states. In the same research, in whitest countries, such as Germany, Great Britain, Canada, France, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Netherlands, the study found that there was significant discrimination towards the non-white natives. These forms of discrimination come in many ways in the workplace. It can come as racism.

These discriminations in any field have detrimental effects.

One of the disadvantages is that one can be affected physically, in that it can lead to depression. It is brought about by a conclusion, and this makes one be in constant worry. This can lead to anxiety, sadness, and someone tends to feel guilty and empty. This to the one seeking employment to feel left out and make them lose interest in their work and careers. It can also lead to stress-related severe diseases,

which are brought by eating disorders and reduces someone’s self-esteem. These are just the physical implications caused by discrimination. Discrimination also has social implications.

Victimization can lead to one feeling like a victim. Therefore, it can make one feel lost, confused, or even broke as a victim one can be moved to become a social outcast. Being a vi0ctim can make one look for wicked ways to fulfill oneself. One can be tempted to try drugs and alcohol, which might lead to addiction. In one case, someone committed suicide because of being discriminated . These are things that have happened to some Canadians who are not native white or of different sex.

In recent times there have been reports that show that in Canada there are still victimized. Canada boasts of being multicultural, yet there are still cases of discrimination. The type of discrimination varies from one place to another. In Canada, there are different kinds of discrimination, as highlighted by the media. In Canada, hate crime is the leading type of discrimination. Data from the recent past show that crimes against Muslim’s rose to 61% in just one year. This implies that there are severe cases of discrimination daily. Another poll done on women shows that at least 50% of adult women in Canada say that they have experienced sexual pressure at work. In another survey, 1 out of 10 women says that in Canada, sexual harassment happens and is quite common in their workplace.

There are cases and other studies that show that discrimination is not the usual kind of race, sex, or even religion. However, the same data still says that discrimination occurs even outside these settings. In some cases, some Canadians also faced discrimination for being members of a particular group.

Interventions, therefore, are needed to reduce this kind of discrimination. Doing this, multiple levels must be addressed, including individual levels. Another way this should be attacked is through community and when deriving policies. To help those who have been discriminated against, they have to be looked for personally and given individual-based interventions such as affirmation forgiveness and promoting resilience. There are also needs to have programs for perpetrators such as having education towards anti-racism, bias to implicitness awareness should be made. It should also reach organizations and communities by having campaigns.

In conclusion, therefore, to achieve real freedom where one does whatever they can and being a truly free nation. Having people doing as they wish is real democracy. Consequently we are yet to achieve true freedom and justice if we stop discriminating against minorities and their constituents. We should, therefore, advocate against discrimination knowing the side effects.
