Modern society has a high level of
which many people view as being something which should be celebrated. Places such as the UK and the US in particular are known as being
societies, meaning that they are communities made up of people from all creeds, races, sexualities, etc. This can and should make for a rich tapestry of people and in an ideal world would result in a society which functions harmoniously while celebrating differences. However, due to a variety of different reasons, these differences can lead to the development of
against groups different from one's own. This means that you might have a disposition to view another person in a specific, usually
, way. This can lead to treating that person in a different way because of the fact that they are part of a specific demographic. This is known as
. This kind of treatment is wrong, and causes
within society. An example of this is
– for example, if a boss is a man who has specific ideas about how
are supposed to act or what they are supposed to be like (e.g. being 'over emotional'), this might mean that he might be inclined not to hire a woman for a job. This is discrimination and unequal treatment on the basis of sex. One way this can be seen in religion is in the matter of the
of women. Due to particular Bible verses, such as 1
2:12, which states, 'I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.', it has been traditionally held that women should not take on the role of preaching. However, in modern times this has been challenged as it is discrimination on the basis of sex.
