(1 point)
A. hate speech
B. discrimination
C.harassment
D. tolerance
B. discrimination
The correct answer is B. discrimination. Discrimination refers to the act of separating different types of people into groups and treating these groups unfairly based on prejudice.
To arrive at this answer, you can break down the question and choices:
The question asks you to identify the term that means "separating different types of people into groups and treating these different groups unfairly based on prejudice."
Option A, hate speech, refers to speech or expressions that deliberately promote or incite hatred or violence towards a particular group based on characteristics such as race, religion, or ethnicity. While hate speech can contribute to discrimination, it does not directly refer to the act of separating and treating people unfairly.
Option C, harassment, refers to unwanted and offensive behavior aimed at creating a hostile or intimidating environment for an individual or a group. While harassment can be a form of discrimination, it specifically refers to offensive actions and not necessarily the act of separating and treating people unfairly based on prejudice.
Option D, tolerance, refers to the acceptance and respect of different opinions, lifestyles, and behaviors, especially those that differ from one's own. Tolerance promotes equality and non-discrimination, so it is the opposite of what the question is asking.
Therefore, by process of elimination, the correct answer is B. discrimination.
