Social Discrimination: One of the Major Global Issues of the 21st CenturyOver the years, humanity has made a significant stride towards equality for all. This is best understood from a background of the slave trade era where race was the primary determinant of an individual's place and role in the society. After racial discrimination was overcome through activism, primarily in the US, the next global issue, as concerns discrimination, was gender. Women were discriminated in the society as their role was considered to be limited to the home, household chores, and wife responsibilities.

But practically, first image is only an opportunity to erase the socially-founded image held by a person and write a new one based on individual attributes.
Normally, when planning to meet a new person, the typical human being will try to learn more about the individual because human beings are social beings. The process of learning about the new person is primarily a background check on their level of education, their employment status, place, and role, their marriage status, and the neighbourhood they live in. It is no wonder the typical social media requires such attributes for display on an individual's profile. Such social attributes will therefore determine the language to use, the choice of language, and conversation topic and direction, among others.
However, this image is temporary and open to challenged or be fully anchored, a process that happens in the first few minutes when you meet the new person. In cases where these social attributes are challenged, it's often to hear such a statement like "He/She is brilliant; actually, I didn't think such of him/her." This also provides a justification for the process used in recruitment and specifically, the importance of…
Philosophy and Education 21st Century Behavior and trends within the education system are rudimentarily based upon the collective groups collective philosophy. The knowledge base that is infused with ethics combines to create a philosophy that is summarily applied within the classroom. From this aspect, it is clear that all a teacher does is based upon an adopted philosophy that he or she has learned or accepted over the course of time.
Social Justice Social Work Value/Social Justice- For centuries, philosophers have puzzled the human condition.

These are typically the mainstream beliefs regarding sexual and gender identity. The fact is, in more countries around the world, people are
As is often the case, the groups most hurt by the crisis are those who are already marginalized -- the working poor. This group is unable to qualify for social services but is likely to have had their hours cut, benefits reduced, or both. They may have a mortgage that is too high for their income level; children in school, and be unable to actualize or improve their situation because
