Discrimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrimination is a practice when an individual treats a person or a group of people differently from other people. Discrimination is an unfair treatment of people based on their age, race, religion, disability and gender. In other words, discrimination is an unfair treatment to people because of the class or group they belong to.
