Follow-up
After preparation, everyone presents their definitions and familiarizes themselves with scientific definitions contained in the literature. Participants compare their own definitions with scientific ones.

Discrimination – treating someone worse than others in the same situation. People are discriminated against for various reasons, for example gender, race, age, financial status, religion or sexual orientation.

Direct discrimination: A person is treated less favorably than another person in similar situation, due to some premise (e.g.: racial or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age or orientation psychosexual).

Indirect discrimination: Seemingly neutral terms, criteria or practices are unfavorable for people who have or suspected of having a certain charge characteristics (racial, ethnic, religion or religion, disability, age or orientation sexual), unless such practice can be recognized objectively as justified by law.

Prejudice VS Discrimination
It’s the difference between thinking/feeling (prejudice) and action (discrimination).

Stereotype (from Greek: stereos – solid, hard, typos – pattern, imprint) – an extremely exaggerated image of a given group, treating all its members in an undifferentiated way, regardless of their individual characteristics. Stereotypes are often based on uncertain or false knowledge about the world, are perpetuated by tradition and are difficult to change. They are characterized by one-sidedness, stiffness, durability, waterproofness – resistance to arguments and facts.

Prejudice – negative opinions or feelings towards other social groups, held simply because of belonging to a given group. It is also an unfavorable assessment, a judgment made on the basis of stereotypical beliefs.
