Understanding the impact of prejudice and discrimination on children and young people. 2.1 A child or young person can experience prejudice and discrimination in a number of ways due to disability, race, religion, sex, culture and lifestyle. 2.2 The effect discrimination and prejudice has on a child or young person is very strong. You may find that a child develops low self esteem, this in turn will make them have a very negative outlook of themselves, as a result they may start to withdraw socially becoming less able to join in with activities as they will not want to draw attention to themselves for fear of rejection. 2.3 Our behaviour as adults can impact on children and young people greatly.
In addition, some school heads believe that school uniforms vanishes social, economic and class divisions and inculcate a sense of pride in students(McCarthy, Lisa). A way bullying can be minimized is by enforcing the use of school uniforms. This way all students are wearing the same clothing, leaving no room for judgment. A large fraction of class time is
The young people may find it hard to socialise outside of their family because of judgements being made about them. This may lead the young person to develop negative feelings about themselves or society for not fitting in. This may affect them getting a job. Being in the care system means that a young person is separated away from the family unit due to a family breakdown and could possibly be split up from siblings. this impacts on the life chances of the young person because they may not be able to fully put their trusts in the adults around them because of all the new changes they have gone through.
The main on being labelling and teacher racism. An example of labelling can be if a student labels a student as 'bright' they are more likely to stick to this label and achieve higher grades. However this also means that teachers may label students due to their ethnic background without considering their actual level of cleverness. For example black students do not fit the ideal pupil silhouette and may therefore be labelled as a 'troublemaker leading them to not do as well as white pupils. Cecile Wright (1992) found that Asian pupils are also a target of labelling by teachers.
Every case is treated the same no matter what age group or individual qualities of the student. Obviously this has both good and bad aspects of it. Zero tolerance seems very good in the broad picture. Sending a child to school, you know that he or she will be protected, especially because of this policy. Many educators tend to bend over backwards to give students breaks that they would not receive in the streets of society or the workplace.
When is comes to choosing teams, stereotyping is sometimes used. Some of the children who are fit and in shape might exclude and over weight child because they are thought to be slow or not athletic. Even if a child receives good grades, he or she might be typecast as a teacher’s pet. This child may not be liked by his peers just because he does well in school and he can be called names such as dork or geek. Things like this can scar a child mentally and even cause a low feeling of self worth.
2.2-2.3 Certain attitudes towards a person with dementia can affect the way in which they are cared for. Some carers may not feel they can approach the person because the assume they are violent. If a person gets violent it is due to frustration and not being able to express themselves. It helps if you know how to approach the person so they don't get agitated. You should always try to form positive relationships with clients.
They also have to consider that teachers can be as petty and immature as students at times and may give students low grades that they do not deserve. This is not something related to age. Some people may still maintain that students may not know what it’s like to teach, or even how to do it. They also claim that students may not know specifically how to teach the class, but they know how to help themselves learn. And if the teachers tried to teach that way, it could be that other students learn that way as well.
Their self-conscience is highly regarded as conceited which can cause personal distortion. Generally these added pressures serve as only distractions in a child’s development, but can have adverse effects if they are not addressed. Peer groups are capable of aiding children during this difficult period, but there are some peers that influence risky behaviors. The adolescent starts believing that if risky behavior is not harming their friends, then it will not harm them and some risk taking can lead to greater peer acceptance. One benefit would be that it can also help relieve the so-called maturity gap between physical and social maturity by mimicking adult behaviors, thereby affirming personal independence.
For example the child may become disliked by the young peers which may cause the child to feel isolated and may not feel comfortable enough to work with others in class to do group work. This over time could lead to bullying which would have negative effects on the child’s self-esteem which would stunt their emotional
