MULTICULTURAL VOCABULARY

DISCRIMINATION (1)

behavior that treats people unequally because of their group

memberships. Discriminatory behavior, ranging from slights to hate

crimes, often begins with negative stereotypes and prejudices.

PREJUDICE (1)

an opinion, prejudgment or attitude about a group or its individual members. A prejudice can be positive, but in our usage refers to a

negative attitude. Prejudices are often accompanied by ignorance,

fear or hatred. Prejudices are formed by a complex psychological

process that begins with attachment to a close circle of

acquaintances or an "in-group" such as a family. Prejudice is often aimed at "out-groups."

STEREOTYPE (1)

an exaggerated belief, image or distorted truth about a person or group — a generalization that allows for little or no individual

differences or social variation. Stereotypes are based on images in

mass media, or reputations passed on by parents, peers and other

members of society. Stereotypes can be positive or negative.

BIAS (2) a personal and sometimes unreasoned judgment

ETHNICITY (2) ethnic quality or affiliation; a particular ethnic affiliation or group

traits

Relative Pronouns in the Future Grammar “Ten years ago, Facebook didn't exist. Ten years before that, we didn't have the Web. So who knows what jobs will be born a decade from

now? Though unemployment is at a 25-year high, work will eventually return. But it won't look the same. No one is going to pay you just to show up. We will see a more flexible, more freelance, more collaborative and far less secure work world. It will be run by a generation with new values — and women will increasingly be at the controls.” (http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1898024_1898023_1898169,00.html)
