Step 2: Information found in sources:

Workplace discrimination is still prevalent and could have disastrous effects on social cohesion and political stability if it continues unchecked, according to a new report by the United Nations labour agency.  While the most blatant forms of discrimination at work may have faded, many remain a persistent and daily part of the workplace.

.“Every day, around the world, discrimination at work is an unfortunate reality for hundreds of millions of people,” ILO Director-General Juan Somavia said. “This new report, aptly entitled ‘Time for Equality at Work,’ shows decisively that unless we take action, that time is still a long way off.”

 Racial discrimination also persists, though older theories of the purported superiority of one racial group over another have been replaced by allegations that foreign and "incompatible" cultures may have disruptive effects on the integrity of national identities.  Over the past decade, discrimination based on religion appears to have increased. The current global political climate has helped fuel sentiments of mutual fear and discrimination between religious groups, threatening to destabilize societies and generate violence.  The study shows that many of those who suffer from discrimination – especially on the basis of their sex or colour – face a persistent “equality gap” that divides them from dominant groups who enjoy a better life, or even from their own peers who have benefited from anti-discrimination laws and policies.  Neglecting to tackle these widening socio-economic inequalities not only amounts to accepting a waste of human talent and resources but could have “disastrous effects on national social cohesion, political stability, and hence growth. __[]__  by:Alejandra Varela 20/05/11

The term "equal opportunities" is a broadly used phrase which promotes the idea that everyone within an organisation should have an equal chance to apply and be selected for posts, to be trained and/or promoted and to have their employment terminated equally and fairly. There should be no [|Discrimination] on the grounds of sex, homosexuality, age, racial origin, religious affiliation, disability or marital status. [] Alejandra Varela 18/05/11

**Employees need to be aware of the types of discrimination they are vulnerable to in the workplace. By learning about unlawful and unfair conduct at work, employees are equipped with tools to protect themselves against workplace discrimination**.

No one wants to **fall victim to any form of discrimination**. Regardless of what kind of prejudiced treatment it is, discriminatory actions are hateful and unpleasant. For most employees, discrimination is enough to drive them out of the company under the inference of constructive dismissal. **Unequal treatment of employees is inexcusable** and is grounds for immediate dismissal for those who contribute to such behaviour. It is an employer's responsibility to [|**ensure the equal treatment of each employee**] and that under no circumstances is any form of inequality acceptable.

**Discrimination in the workplace** has been defined as being the bigoted treatment of others regardless of the intricacies of their differences. Discrimination is typically identified as the **unequal and unfair treatment of minority groups as a result of their differences**. Prejudice behaviour in today's time, sets apart evolved members of society from the animals who continue to provoke such working conditions. Information by:Natalia Sanchez

Other impact without having access to a job:

In third world cities, rates of unemployment are often several times as high as in the industrial nations. With no job, there is no money and therefore no food.where workers' rights to organize are unprotected, jobs may not pay enough to escape from hunger.

Que oportunidades el colegio te brinda? Que beneficios aporta para ti y tu familia el hecho que trabajes en el colegio? Si fueras despedido que consecuencias traería para tu familia? Respuestas:

Wilson: 1) beneficios economicos sustento para su familia y brindarles ayuda economica. 2) pues no les podria dar mi pequeña ayuda economica, y me tocaria buscar un nuevo trabajo, seria dificil porque no tengo las suficientes oportunidades. 3) No hacen casi nada por mejorar mi estilo de vida. 4) las consequencias son que uno tiene que limitarse a muchas cosas, y que tiene que trabajar muy duro sin casi ver a su familia para solo recivir ese salario.

Orlando erazo: 1) ayuda a sostener la familia por la parte economica. 2) Seria muy dificil porque no podrian vivir sin su trabajo ya que tiene que pagar sustento. 3) Por el momento el colegio no a hecho nada y no podria sostener si familia. 4) No le alcanza para casi nada y no podria soster su familia.

Soledad: 1) le ayuda a poder pagarle todos los gastos a su familia. 2) Seria una tragedia ya que con el salario que recive solo puede pagar lo necesario para sostener a su familia 3) si, tuviera la oportunidad lo haria. 4) No le alcanza para sostener a su familia.
