MSN Encarta - Discrimination Discrimination, different treatment of others based solely on their membership in a socially distinct group or category, such as race, ethnicity, sex, religion, age, or disability. Racial discrimination in employment by a state government agency was banned in 1972, and U.S. attorneys were authorized to sue noncomplying state agencies; similarly, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, established in 1964, was authorized to file suit. Racial discrimination practiced against Hispanic Americans is also widespread, and has generally assumed traditional forms, including discriminatory policies in employment, housing, and access to the judicial system, but it has also involved such issues as bilingual education, fair treatment by the communications media, and prison reform. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761573635/Discrimination.html   (1079 words)

Last check: 2007-10-16) We use a survey of university graduates to explore whether female (or male) perceptions of gender discrimination are related to ordinary statistical measures of discrimination, and whether persons with disabilities perceive disability discrimination as it is ordinarily measured.

Economic Discrimination When such discriminators suddenly see how full the wallet is, and how open, or that the insurance company will pay, they quickly forget their worries. Economic Discrimination is the root of all evil.

BALITANG  BETERANO: ECONOMIC  DISCRIMINATION AGAINST FIL-AM VETS This issue of economic discrimination flies on the face of the U.S government (both in Congress and Administrative departments) which could not be taken lightly or ignored because of the serious complication caused by avoidance to human rights and due process with impunity. “Economic discrimination practiced under the color of congressional authority raises a grave constitutional issue that should be squarely faced.

Gun Control and Economic Discrimination: The Melting-Point Case-In-Point Firearms prohibitions discriminate against those poor and minority citizens who must rely on such arms to defend themselves from criminal activity to a much greater degree than affluent citizens living in safer and better protected communities. Victims must be able to defend themselves and their families against criminals as soon as crime strikes, and the ability to defend oneself, family, and property is more critical in the poor and minority neighborhoods, which are ravaged by crime and do not have adequate police protection. Melting-point laws, however, merely bar those of lesser economic means from having a way to protect themselves against the criminals that prey on them, and such an outcome is neither fair, nor is it criminologically sound. www.foac-pac.org /laws/Funk.html   (13643 words)

Bat Yeor on War & Dhimmitude on National Review Online The main principles of dhimmitude are: (1) the inequality of rights in all domains between Muslims and dhimmis; (2) the social and economic discrimination against the dhimmis; (3) the degradation and vulnerability of the dhimmis. Dhimmitude convulsed the whole 19th century, and Europe — as obsessed as it was divided — floundered in endless debates on the Eastern Question: how to put an end to dhimmitude. Colonial imperatives, World War II and the Cold War, oil, economic, geostrategic and religious interests in the Muslim world — all combined to suppress this history. www.nationalreview.com /comment/comment-yeor080902.asp   (725 words)
