Any discrimination is the way to the degradation of society

Modern world. A world in which there is still a place for abominable phenomena, one of which is discrimination. This is despite the fact that technological progress is already beyond the reasonable, and scientific discoveries turn our minds around. It would seem that something else to wish for, because society is developing steadily. However, for some reason, a large percentage of people still do not want to recognize the rights of those who are somehow different from them.

What is the meaning of the word "discrimination"? In different sources, you can find a variety of definitions. However, if we do not go into details and speak in general terms, then discrimination is a moral or physical infringement of someone's rights, connected with the presence of a certain distinctive feature in a group of people.

If you give an example, then immediately comes to mindRussian law prohibiting the so-called propaganda of homosexuality. To answer the question about what it is in general, politicians either find it difficult or start referring to the fragile children's minds. However, in this case there is a banal discrimination, the main purpose of which is to distract the thoughts of the common man from the real problems existing in the country: economic, political and social.

It should, however, be noted that the aboveexamples are typical, mainly for Russian society. In Europe and America, a person belonging to a sexual minority has not surprised anyone for a long time. In addition, he has equal rights with all, and in some countries - even the right to marry (Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and many others).

Another direction in whichdiscrimination is racism, that is, the infringement of the rights of a group of people on a racial, as well as national basis. Racism and chauvinism in 1939 were among the main reasons for the onset of a devastating war. The weak minds of today, forgetting, apparently, about the consequences of the Great Patriotic War, cultivate and spread the ideas of neo-Nazism. Not knowing where to send forces, young people (in 95% of cases - it is young), people direct them not to create, but to destruction and hatred.

Another example of infringement of someone's rights isgender discrimination, especially manifested in the world of work. This type of intolerance is characterized by the following: considering someone's candidacy as a potential employee, the employer judges not by his individual qualities, but by the qualities inherent in a particular social group (in this case - men or women). Here we can mention another trend. For example, a woman who works as a driver, or a man who finds her calling in the fashion world, many people if not with contempt, then certainly with a strong incomprehension and disapproval.

Discrimination is what needs to be donefight, in whatever life sphere it is manifested. The lack of tolerance only harms society: developing materially, it forgets about spirituality and tolerance. And this state of affairs, in the final analysis, usually leads either to wars, or, at best, to revolutions. Intolerance always leads to the degradation of society and inhibits its development.
