types of discrimination Racism
Saul
Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute
race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment. Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, although anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural basis, independently of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination. Xenophobia
Jesus
The xenophobia is the hatred and I reject abroad, with
manifestations that go from the more or less manifest rejection, the scorn and the threats, up to the aggressions and murders. One of the most common forms of xenophobia is the one that is exercised depending on the race, this is, the racism. The " International Convention on the Elimination of all the Forms of Racial Discrimination defines the racial discrimination or xenophobia as: Any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on motives of race, color, lineage or national or ethnic origin that it has as an object or as proved ring-finger or to reduce the recognition, possession or exercise, in conditions of equality, of the human rights and fundamental freedoms in the spheres political, economic, social, cultural or in any other sphere of the public life. Machismo
Colque
The machismo, expression derived from the word macho, is
the set of attitudes and learned sexist annoying practices or offensives carried out in favor of the maintenance of social orders in which the women are submitted or discriminated. The machismo is considered to be a principal causer of behaviors heterosexistas or homophobic and, even, homosexuals. That conduct permeates different levels of the company from the early childhood up to the adulthood with initiations of fraternidades and other pressures of the so called equal groups. In the matter, the dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language defines Machismo as the " Attitude of omnipotence of the males I concern of the women " The machismo includes the set of attitudes, conducts, social practices and beliefs destined to justify and promote the maintenance of conducts perceived traditionally like heterosexually masculine and, also, discriminatory against the women. Some critics consider the discrimination to be also a machismo against other social groups perceived as more weak persons, since in case of men whose behavior, for example for having a homosexual preference, is not "masculine" to the eyes of the person machist. In all the
cases, the preponderantly masculine conduct is the dominant
one.
Homophobia
Daniel
The term homophobia refers to the distaste, hatred, prejudice
or discrimination against men or homosexual women, though also there are included other persons who integrate to the sexual diversity, since it is the case of the bisexual or transsexual persons, and who support attitudes or habits commonly associated with another sex, as the metrosexuals and the persons " with pen ". The corresponding adjective is "homophobic". Homophobia is not a strictly psychiatric term. It is calculated that every two days a homosexual person is murdered in the world due to violent acts linked to the homophobia. International amnesty denounces that more than 70 countries chase still to the homosexuals and eight condemn them to death. Certain relativism exists on what it includes the concept of homophobia. This way for example, which reject the policies of equality (between persons of different sexual orientation) think that this rejection is not a homophobia, but simply an equally respectable opinion as the approval.
