impacted. Unfortunately, studies show

that particular people or groups who
suffer prejudice and discrimination have
less life chances than those who don't.
Even though the gravity of the situation
has definitely changed in the past few
years for the better, it is still the case
that a white middle class marries male
has more life chances than a Hispanic or
Afro-Caribbean single mother coming
from the working class. Prejudice and
discrimination is shown to be show
pervasive that the way we act and treat
such groups is almost involuntary, and
we end up showing prejudice and

discriminations, this study show that, if

for poverty, ignorance, and poor quality

comes with poverty. People will now feel

otherhand, it can make a person develop
a deep hatred for the people which were
acting prejudice towards that person. For

Sexism is when you discriminate
somebody by their gender. Two
