Discrimination Chapter 2 Analysis

I liked the topic of Discrimination from Chapter 2 because I experienced these kind of treatment from other people’s and my personal experience. Even though the United State is a very open-minded country, some group of people still are experiencing mistreatment from discrimination both from their work and daily life.

According to the book, it states that the common knowledge of discrimination is that people’s behavior is influenced by their stereotypes toward specific group of people. Discrimination ignores the individuality and personality, treat this group of people with the same way and same standard. (Judge and Robbins 42)

I am working in a retail company as a part-time sales associate, and I am very admired this company because she is

very appreciating diversity and treating every employee fairly no matter what race they are. Furthermore, after I encountered with different people with different nationalities, races, and ages, I discovered that everyone have different advantage and disadvantage. For example, one of my former classmate is from Mexico, she is very smart; she is good at Math and Physics, and she is now attending Georgia Tech as an Engineering student. Also, not every Chinese people know Kong Fu and good at Math; not every senior citizen is retired and slow. If the company not treating everyone fairly base on their abilities, this company would not able to promote the right people and expand their productivities.
