The article, "The battle against fast food begins in the home" by Daniel Weintraub, explains how people are blaming McDonalds and other fast food restaurants such as Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Starbucks, and Pizza Hut for their obesity.

They are making comments such as, "The problem of obesity is so staggering, so out of control, that we have to do something."
These biases interrelate and tend to perpetuate someone's depression. He also suggested errors in logic could be a reason for someone to behave abnormally. This concerns the way in which someone sees an event in the past, present or future. Examples of irrational thinking that both Ellis and Beck proposed are catastrophizing (wildly exaggerating the negative aspects of an event), polarized thinking (seeing everything in extreme terms), and overgeneralization (drawing conclusions based on a single event). This approach is supported by Burt et al who asked participants to recall a list of words.

(Postman, N & Powers, S, 2008) This just goes to show the different ways in which people interpret things thru language and how they at times make false accusations based on the eye. In this reading Postman & Powers state that we will constantly come across these three kinds of statements when it comes to language “descriptions, judgments, and inferences” (Postman & Powers, 2008: The Bias of Language, The Bias of Pictures, 8(483). From Pop Perspectives by Gray, L) meaning that everyone interprets things differently when heard or seen and they either describe it, pass judgment on it or falsely state things.

The first type of discriminatory practice that I have chosen is prejudice. Prejudice is usually found when staff members judge those who are in their care inappropriately because of case notes of the person or from information other members of staff have provided them with.
I have been a victim of stereotyping and have been guilty of stereotyping as well.
