Abstract: Discrimination is the idea of treating an individual differently because of a specific bias that is felt against them. This acts as a theory of grouping based on the party, class, or category in which everyone is judged. Prejudice however, refers to the negative attitudes or opinions aimed at a person over something out of their control. Discrimination and prejudice may take place in different forms. Today, both discrimination and prejudice are still ongoing issues that many individuals experience daily.
