Discrimation

Legal, Reasonably Justified, and Unjust

Discrimination occurs in all races, genders, workplaces, religions, and many other locations.

Discrimination refers to different treatment for similarly situated parties, especially when no legitimate reason appears to exist.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
