How Does Social Discrimination Impact Self-esteem And Personal Achievement?

Social discrimination in of itself is degrading someone else that the person might find to be of lower status in some way shape or form. Subjected to this kind of treatment long enough, the victim may be deluded into thinking that this is true for example thoughts like, “Well, if I’m being treated this way, it must be true.” could arise.
After this, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Belief in a lack of ability or mental capacity will lead to the individual lacking in motivation or willpower to work thus producing the results that he/she expected in the first place.
This second question is harder to answer because it depends on the person. The stronger minded he/she is, the easier it will be for him/her to resist these professions of his/her inferiority. The problem comes when these beliefs are reinforced by the social or racial or religious group this person may belong. Social pressure can be extremely hard to resist. And yet at the same time, some people may feel empowered to prove these allegations wrong. They feel that to overcome these beliefs may help overcome to stereotype that follows them.
There are ways to lower the incidence of discrimination, my personal belief is that education first and foremost is most important to help fight against discrimination. Teach children at a young age morality and give them the ability to look at the world with a critical eye and mind; teach them to look at each person equally, weighing all of the traits they have encountered and discrimination might become less common as we go.

first of all. i dont know what your society is, but i can talk about america. the answer is a lot. look at all the african americans in prison. one way you can lower discrimination is by making laws against racism. zero tolerance. for example, make it a crime to be racist, and shut down all the racist websites. america is way too lenient on racism. even though america has a black president, he hasnt done a whole lot to change things. you should look at alot of the laws against racism in europe. theyre always 100 yrs ahead of america socially. even when it comes to laws against discriminating against gays, women, disabled, seniors, europe has definitely got the lead. maybe not for long though as there is a right wing movement in europe.
