Have you ever experienced institutional discrimination? In what way? If you believe that you have never experienced institutional discrimination, why do you think that is?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary but should first discuss the definition of institutional discrimination which refers to a pattern of unequal treatment, based on group membership, built into the daily operations of society, whether or not it is consciously intended. Students may discuss a variety of themes. One example may be women who have experienced institutional discrimination in school by being told an everyday outfit is too provocative for the classroom. If a student says that they have not experienced institutional discrimination, they may choose to discuss the privileges they hold in society.
