Why must there be discrimination of any kind?

Good question!  Discrimination is a leftover survival instinct.  Long ago when our distant ancestors were living on the African savanna, they had to make quick decisions every hour of every day with very little information in order to survive.  This led to the development of the human ability to conceptualize and classify.\nHumans change slowly.  The downside of the useful ability of conceptualization is the unfortunate tendency to discriminate without any truly rational basis.\nBut take heart - although it is taking a lot of time, things are changing for the better.

i think discrimination is very wrong like with the racial issues (black and white, etc.) because i believe every race has at least some people that are racist and i believe discrimation of the sexes are horrible when women man hate or men women hate its wrong and the fact that you cant get a job because of this fact is horrible in any situation and the fact that people make blonde jokes or fat jokes or nationality jokes or "retard" jokes is wrong what are we teaching our children that it is ok not to like someone that isnt like you...i mean we all bleed dont we, we all have the same organic structure what should it matter if we are different and those people that think i am wrong need to go take a good look in the mirror because you are no better than anyone else

Ther is no need to ratify the constution for any one particular group's wishes. There are alredy anti-discrimination laws in our country. If someone is unhappy with a law, they should work within the system to change that law. Change cannot be forced and can only come from within. What needs to change is our perception that any group of people should have more or less rights than any other group.

Employers do consider it, but I don't consider it discrimination. Discrimination to me implies denying someone a right that someone their equal is entitled to. \n\nIf you have a misdemeanor for theft and you are working in an environment that deals with money, credit card numbers and valuable product, then you shouldn't be hired there, you pose a risk to that company. \n\nIf your crime is a violent nature, that is another risk. These are things that people really should think about before they chose to commit criminal acts. \n\nWith the unemployment rate being so low, it is an employers market. They can basically hire who they want. Why hurt your chances at employment by comitting crimes? If faced with two equally qualified candidates, the employer then has to use other factors to decide

Employment discrimination is alive and well.  Ask any African American or a woman applying for the same job as a man.  I'm sure they'll be able to give you a "yes" answer.  Discrimination exists in housing, banking, employment etc.  As long as there are racists doing the hiring, there will always be discrimination.  What a sad world we live in.

I agree with you that it does occur, though I feel people too often cry discrimination just so they can get something out of it, not necessarily because it truly occurred.  Sorry if that's not really an opposing argument, but perhaps it will add another angle to your paper?

There is discrimination in every religion.

First your description is really confusing, almost as if a lawyer wrote it. LOL.\n\nOK, what type of society?  I would hope that we would have a society that accepts everyone as equals regardless of sex, color, race, national origin, religion, sexual preference, gender presentation, etc.\n\nUnfortunately this is not so.  Many people, even in the US discriminate against one another for so many unjust reasons.  And there is no reason for it at all.  The quote, "Can't we all just get along" is so true as Dr. King's famous speech of "I Have a Dream."  The foundations of equality have been laid out on a piece of paper located in Washington DC, called the Declaration of Independence.  It is a crying shame that society cannot live by those immortal words.

Permitted due to our civil rights, and non-discrimination.\nWhy it takes so much concern?\nPeople are still not openminded.

it is the governments way of trying to make things right for what the blacks were put through many years ago. \n i don't think it is discriminiation. i do think though that it is sad that every nationality can have their own organizations, except whites. because if we were to have a group or organization to celebrate the fact that we are white, people would think we were some hate group or something.

The State legislature set limits on all laws that the Federal Government has no right, Constitutionally speaking, to pass.  Since ALL the states are different you get differing laws in all things.  Discrimination is just one of many areas.

Such case is decided under a "strict scrutiny" level: the distinction/discrimination/etc must be necessary for a compelling government interest. The means must be narrowly tailored,  the gov must show that no least restrictive means are available and the gov has the burden of proof.

In the past Dhimmi were also not allowed to enter certain professions, were often discriminated against and given an extra tax to pay for the privilege of being 'tolerated' by their hosts.\n\nDhimmi - such a privilege, not!

it seems like we can't do that b/c people feel discriminated against if they are in a minority...employers & organizations have to have 'proof' that they don't
