Discrimination – impairing the rights of one or another part of humanity on the grounds that some external feature that distinguishes it from other categories of the population. Discriminatory rules may be contained in all the sources of rules governing social life: in the laws, religious legal code, the norms of morality.
What is discrimination today? Here are three typical examples of modern discrimination:
• the Right to drive a car can not get to adulthood. Statutory discriminatory norm according to age.
• Women do not have the right to visit mount Athos. Mounted Orthodox religious practices discriminatory norm by gender.
• the nightclub is not open to people not dressed in accordance with dress code. Discrimination on financial well-being, established by custom.
These three examples of discrimination exist today, a familiar and do not cause desire to deal with them. However, throughout human history, and revolt, and war, to combat discrimination.
Traditionally, when analyzing the question: "What is discrimination?" comes two of the historical process: the struggle for the rights of African-American population in the United States and the struggle of women for equal suffrage. Both were conducted for almost a century, with many casualties, and led to the victory of both infringed the rights of the parties to the 60-th years of XX century. The prohibition of discrimination against women finally ended today painful American emancipation, when an innocent comment can cause prosecution. This is a traditional effect when the force of action is always or almost always equal to force of counteraction. Therefore, the cumulative movement of the suffragettes, the energy of resistance have resulted in dire change in the norms of morality.

Act discrimination Labour, on the other hand, significantly ties the hands of the economy and the army. Cases when there is no reason to refuse women in employment on the basis of sex, sometimes lead to the loss of combat capability of the army. Margaret Thatcher recalled that the right of women to serve in the Navy forced the Navy to convert all the warships, equip the there showers and bathrooms for women. What was left after that from the vaunted fighting spirit of the British military? So what is discrimination? Sometimes this is a necessary measure of defense.
Today, the discrimination has changed. The key ideology of human rights defenders the world has become a crafty statement by Amnesty International: there are situations where equal treatment can actually lead to inequality and discrimination. What is disability discrimination from the point of view of this position? This equipment is the special ramps in public buildings, for example. Accordingly, this category of the population is initially a little more right than other categories. The same example is the mandatory quotas for seats in the parliaments of several countries to women or indigenous peoples.
So the rights of the minority were under greater protection of public opinion. What discrimination from this point of view? Double-edged propaganda tool.
