Workplace Racial Discrimination: Solution

Rationale

            All of the people in this world are equal on rights. Physical attributes may vary through ethnic groups but all must be treated the same. Some people tend to overlook equality on people in this world. Those people are prejudice of other people or other culture. Racism is a form of prejudice based on perceived physical differences and usually refers to unfavourable or hostile attitudes toward people perceived to belong to another race.

            In a school context, specifically on working together as an organization, some school heads or teachers are prejudice to their co-workers because of their race. For instance, principals and some teachers do not trust other teachers because they are from an indigenous tribe. Knowing that these teachers came from a tribe, superiors and workmates may doubt their expertise and tend to not give them high responsibilities. In this case, there is no gradual unity in the organization and the manpower is compromised. Moreover, employee relationships are unnatural and it is unhealthy for the institution.
