Hello, and welcome to this video on discrimination.

Discrimination is a social issue that has

been prevalent in our society for a long time. It refers to the unfair treatment of people based
on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, and more.

Over the years, the U.S. government has taken several actions to improve the situation. One
of the most significant actions was the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited
discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Other laws, such as the
Americans with Disabilities Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, were also
passed to provide protection for people with disabilities and older adults.

However, despite these efforts, discrimination has not entirely disappeared. It has changed
over time and has become more subtle, such as in the form of microaggressions, implicit
biases, and systemic racism. Discrimination affects not only individuals but also entire
communities, leading to disparities in education, employment, healthcare, and other areas.

So, what can be done to resolve the issue of discrimination? Firstly, it is essential to raise
awareness and educate people about the harmful effects of discrimination. We need to
acknowledge our biases and work towards eliminating them. Secondly, we need to hold
individuals and institutions accountable for their discriminatory actions. This can be done
through legal means, such as filing complaints and lawsuits, or through collective action,
such as protests and boycotts.

In conclusion, discrimination is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach to

address. We must continue to work towards a society that is inclusive, equitable, and justice
for all.
