Effects of Discrimination

People all over the world are suffering from different kinds of problems and some are even threatening their lives. Discrimination leads to two negative effects such as uncomfortable life and demonstrations.

The first effect of discrimination that will be discussed is the uncomfortable life. Many people in differenet societies are facing many difficulties that prevent them from living a comfortable life, as many of them do not have the opportuninty to have their own jobs or suffering from some kind of bad deal. Discrimination is the main reason for this issue. For example, becasue of race discrimination many black people and even Arabs are suffering from the uncomfortable life, which is being caused by this kind of discrimination. I discoverd from the article which I read about on BBC website is that nowadays black people in the UK are living in a stressful enviroment with full of unfair laws against their freedom. According to BBC news, "People of African and Caribbean descent are around five times more likely to be stopped and searched as white people. Thay also make up a much higher proportion in prison than might be expected in the general population", so black people are more likely to be caught by the UK goverment. Moreover, Arabs in the USA are suffering from the bad relationship between them and other Americans especially after the events of September 11. Americans really deal with Arabs negatively. According to questia website, "Most of the discrimination experienced by Muslim Americans was of non-violent nature, and included bad looks , verbal abuse, as well as social isolation "(http://www.questia.com/PMqst?a=o+se=gglsc+d=5007672486). Therefore, Arabs face the same problem as black people face in the UK so they are really suffering from the lack of justice.

Another effect of discrimination is demonstrations. Many demonstrations exist in different parts of the world. Demonstrations are the main way that the public use to express their feelings and show their disagreement against the goverment. Many people in different parts made these regional demonstrations for forcing the goverment to achieve their desire especially if they are suffering from some kinds of problems. For example, because of gender discrimination, women in different parts of the world have to use demonstrations as a way to voice opposition against the goverment's policy. Women in the world are demonstrating against unfair laws and unemployment. For instance, women in Iran are demonstrating against some Islamic laws, as those women believe that these laws called Hudood laws threaten their effective position in the society. Consequently, these women need to have opportunity to express their issue in courts freely as man. Therefore, there is dicrimination between genders that made Iranian women feel angry with this law and demonstrare, as they believe hopefully that the goverment will use the best solution for this kind of discrimination. Besides demonstrating against unfair laws, other women are suffering from unemployment. Officers in some societies especially in Iran kick them out from their jobs as the goverment gives much more opportunities for men to join different kinds of jobs. Beacause of that, many Iranian women demonstrate against this kind of unfair deal. According to Iranfocus website,"Demonstrators said they saw some women being detained and dragged away by officers"(http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2374), so Iranian women made this demonstrations as they are aware of their rights. By the way, discrimination is the main factor of these demonstrations.

In conclusion, discrimination leads to two neagative effects such as uncomfortable life and demonstrarions. In my point of view discrimination is such an unprecented problem that every body should pay attention to it by working positively to solve and examine this issue. Equalization is the appropriate solution to avoid this problem. Finally, I also think that the main goal of solving this problem will reduce its bad effects by living in a comfortable life and decreasing the number of demonstrations.
