Discrimination is known as unequal treatment based on one’s
ethnicity, race, gender, age, disability, religion or any other characteristic
that makes an individual. In today’s society discrimination is highly frowned
upon, especially if it is in the workforce. Unfortunately, this bad practice
still occurs and has a number of negative affects to employees, employers and
the community.

Women not getting high positions, young people being looked
down upon, disabilities seen as being incapable of doing anything, people being
stereotyped due to color and race, and religion being judged are all examples
of discrimination to employees. The above examples cause employees to become very discouraged
about their future career in that organization and creates a negative effect to
how they see the business world. This negative affect can hurt the employee’s
confidence and will cause him or her to be unhappy in the workforce. Consequently,
after a period of time this leads to resignation. Due to the employee now
becoming unemployed the society’s economy will be affected as they will most
likely be discouraged to attain another job. Discrimination can also lead to
detrimental events as it is a form of bullying. After a certain age and period
of time, a person who is being bullied constantly can cause him or her to harm themselves
or others.
Employers who encourage and pursue discrimination do not
seem to realize the long-term effects of it. We tend to categorize these employers
as unethical leaders who don’t have a high standard of doing what is right in
the workforce. This causes their credibility to go down, along with their
business which contributes to lack of employees because no one wants to work for
such a company. These company advocates can also be sued for millions and will
barely be able to defend themselves. However, if the employer and business has
a valued reputation in society it can change the entire community’s mindset to
be unethical.
As a female, I strongly believe in equality. Males and
females get the same education; no one has a better chance of being more qualified,
all races have the same ability as the other, all ages are capable of bringing positive
outcomes to a company and people who are disabled have the fair chance of doing
something the same way as an average person. So why aren't we given the fair chance? The workforce has improved thus
far, but people who continue to discriminate aren't doing his or her community any
favors. Don't you want a fair running community? We should aim to improve our society to create a better environment for
everyone. Until that prospers, we should
protest against companies that treat their employees unfairly. It only takes one person to make a big change.
