ANSWER 

Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age or sexual orientation (APA, 2019). Being discriminated against, even if only one time can have lasting effects on a person. The thought of an “in group” and an “outgroup” is interesting because even if we don’t expect ourselves to, all of us tend to group people into an out or an in group. Keeping our minds open to differences is so important to building a world free from prejudice.…..please click the icon below to purchase the answer at $5
