Discrimination CAN BE JUSTIFIED?

Question

I thought I v grown up, emotionally,

but I found myself still discriminating PEOPLE according to their looks.

In my office there are two employees,

Suznan has kind hearted looking, I dont konw her personally but it seems to me she is really nice and kind.

Jenny has ugly and naughty looking , I dont know her personally either, but it seems to me she is really picky ,fickle , and mean.

So even though I dont know them well I treat suzan with bigger kindness , I smile to her more often.

Sometimes I cant even stand Jennys face.

Then I realized its wrong, but I cant help it.

Today I asked Jenny a little help but she replied "no" with hysterical voice.

I asked the same help to Suzne ,she replied "yes" with warm smile.

Good Lord, why people act as they look?

my discrimination can be justified?

Answer 1

In order for any theory to be proven, you might want to consider a larger group of test subjects.

Have you also considered you may be something in the way you ask, look at, or treat each of them, that results in their reaction to you?

Could your unkindness in the past, resulted in her not wanting to assist you?

Answer 2

Discrimination is a word whose meaning has been lost. There's actually nothing wrong with it, if I walk into McDonald's and decide I'd rather have a salad than a burger, I'm discriminating against the burger.

In a work environment, people play their working roles, they're not usually the same after work. So judging based on looks in an office, would be alot like judging characters in a movie, they are all just playing roles.

don't take it too seriously, we've all had co-workers we didn't like, not everyone can get along perfectly.

More so than anything, you don't have to hang out with Jenny after work :)

Answer 3

Heredity and experience (including socialization) are the factors that form our personality.

Certain psychopathologies (and I use the term loosely here) have the same etymology, eg, lock a child in the closet and they may have a tendency toward claustrophobia, subject them to verbal abuse and they develop esteem problems.

Could underlying personality traits be identified by outward appearance?

Could "happy-types" smile so much that their relaxed faces wrinkle in a way that causes us to intuit a warmness that we commonly relate to such the appearance?

Are we perceiving suttle distinct odors on others that associate with attitude, eg, the smell of anger, or anxiety, or fear?

Does body mechanics give any insight to a person's demeanor?

I believe so.

But the problem is that we may be either wishing for our biases to be true and looking for confirming incidences of our prejudices, or that we simply re-define our prejudices to match the person.

The concept at the back of affirmative motion is that beyond acts of discrimination create an unfair knowledge now..equivalent to, generations of discrimination in schooling outcome in a shrink percent of minorities having greater schooling, and the one option to opposite that's via affirmative motion insurance policies. The trouble with that is that it punishes the present iteration for the sins in their fathers.

Answer 5

It is our inalienable right to dislike someone for any reason what so ever. We should never allowed it to interfere in a common endeavor. Even if the person turns our stomach, we should treat them courtesy at all times. The one thing you never want to do when dealing with someone you dislike, is give them the opportunity to fault you for your behavior.

Answer 6

bare in mind that you have added to this picture, the way you have reacted to their appearances. when somebody treats you as uncomfortable, your reaction is with the recognition of their discomfort.
in this manner, people sense you and you create much of your perception prior to its existence.
i.e.: you get what you expect.
In reality, people are people. Adults and children alike, we don't like being treated as outcasts. either overt or subtle.

Answer 8

Of course, it can. Anything can be justified. Remember that when someone treats you badly because you don't meet their ideal.

I'm sure that someone can volunteer to be mean and cruel to you in your upcoming questions to justify their own discrimination against you.

Answer 9

You are rationalizing in order to justify a thing which you know is not valid. Bad idea.
