Explain Two Factors could lead to Discrimination
1. Stereotypes: Stereotypes are oversimplified beliefs or assumptions about certain groups of people. When individuals or groups are stereotyped, they are often categorized and treated based on these preconceived notions rather than their individual characteristics. This can lead to discrimination as individuals may be unfairly judged, excluded, or treated poorly because of the stereotypes associated with their identity.
2. Institutional bias: Institutional bias refers to the policies, practices, and norms within organizations or institutions that perpetuate discrimination against certain groups of people. These biases can be implicit or explicit and may disadvantage certain individuals based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other factors. For example, hiring practices that favor one demographic group over another, or a lack of diversity and inclusion initiatives within an organization can contribute to systemic discrimination.
