Social discrimination refers to the unfair treatment or prejudice against individuals or groups based on their perceived social characteristics, such as race, gender, religion, or socioeconomic status.
A stereotype is a widely held belief or generalization about a particular group of people. For example, assuming that all Asians are good at math is a stereotype.
Prejudice refers to preconceived opinions or attitudes towards individuals or groups based on their membership in a particular social category. An example of prejudice is believing that all Muslims are terrorists.
Institutional Discrimination: Institutional discrimination occurs when discriminatory practices are embedded within the policies and practices of organizations or institutions, leading to unequal opportunities for certain groups. For instance, if a company only promotes employees from a specific racial group while neglecting others with equal qualifications, it exemplifies institutional discrimination.
