Q. What is Discrimination ?
Ans. An unjust or prejudicial treatment through one’s speech or action towards any particular group of people.
Well, the thing that will very much not shocking for you, but very much for me is that, the people who gets affected by this discrimination is alienated, not because they are aliens, but they are humans.
Because their humanity challenges prejudiced norms.
Then here comes again a question-
Prejudiced Norms?
What is this?
Why is this?
How come such a thing survived this long while corrupting people’s thoughts and livings?
The answer is very very simple.
It is cause of us. We are the people who allowed it.
You might have heard this saying – “Nobody can harm you until and unless you allow them to do so”.
These imaginary boundaries are created and established by humans themselves, naming them on the grounds of superiority. And these superiority complex roots are very deeply rooted in our lands.
Where people asks your name, just to know your surname.
Where people first notices your skin complexion to know you are fit for marriage or not.
Where people predicts your capabilities on the basis of your sex or gender.
These thoughts are like some inheritance that has been passed from generations to generations. However, these are the very reasons that sometimes people forget their humanity, like just in which species have we seen dissing or discriminating their their own species. As told we should learn from nature and animals.
If this continues, we can make a living but not our survival.
The notion that discrimination is “in our blood” is an overly simplistic and reductive view of human behaviour. As this is well known that there is no logical explanation of discrimination, so it serves as a convenient excuse for those who benefit from and wish to perpetuate this illogical practice. It shadows the sufferings of those who are victims of discrimination.
This notion suggests that discrimination is in our blood. Indeed, even a mother and her child can have different blood types, and every person has a different face. But does that mean we should discriminate based on every differences?
While humans may have inherent biological biases, these are more accurately described as “differentiation” rather than “discrimination.” The argument that differences in blood groups or facial features justify discrimination is flawed. Differentiation is a natural occurrence, but it does not necessitate discriminatory behaviour. Many people argue that nature’s diversity is what makes the world beautiful and complete. Imagining a world where everything is identical would indeed be dull; diversity enriches our lives and fosters creativity and innovation.
Nature has created differences with the aim of promoting “diversity” and not “discrimination.” This diversity should be embraced with inclusivity and unity. The concept of “unity in diversity” directly contradicts the notion that discrimination is inherent. Nature did not create anyone or anything complete in itself; rather, it created diverse elements to complement and complete each other.
Thus, while differences are everywhere, they exist to enhance diversity, not to justify discrimination. Embracing diversity with inclusivity and unity leads to a more complete and harmonious world.

The Phrase that “Discrimination is in our blood” readily implies that it is something hard-wired in human nature. Although this is true to a great extent—that humans have the tendency to organize, segregate information, and thus, differentiate on the basis of various attributes like race, gender, age, and so on—it is also important to know how to differentiate natural propensity from socially constructed behaviors.
Psychologically and sociologically:
1. Evolutionary Psychology: Some argue that humans were evolutionarily programmed to quickly put people into categories as a human survival mechanism. This provided the early humans with the ability to rapidly see who was friend and who was foe. It may have created an evolutionary predisposition toward those who are like us and distrust of those who are different.
2. Socialization: Much of what we view as discriminatory behavior we learn through socialization. Family, media, peers, and institutions were those who taught us the norms, values, and biases. These learned behaviors can turn out to reinstate and perpetuate discrimination.
3. Cultural Context: Discrimination varies a lot from one culture to another and throughout history. What in one context is perceived to be discriminative might not be so in another, hence it suggests that much of this behavior is culturally determined as opposed to being biologically disposed.
4. Malleability: Human behavior is very easily modifiable. Whereas we might have some hard-wired tendencies, we are also capable of empathy, insight, and change. Education, awareness, and policy have an enormous potential for reducing discriminatory behaviors.
5. Moral and Ethical Responsibility: Notwithstanding any natural tendency, we have the moral and ethical responsibility to struggle for equality and justice. Inequities and biased behaviors are recognized and challenged as a part of building a society that is fairer and more inclusive.
Somehow, while the roots of in-group favoritism may be partially related to evolutionary factors, discrimination in the form it occurs today is essentially of social and cultural origin. This means that it is also within our powers to change with education, policy, and personal responsibility.
