Introduction

Research studies on human behavior and psychology have shown that discrimination is an act of judgment wherein instead of giving a positive assumption on a certain individual - race , origin , color sexual orientation , religion or physical state - it finds or airs the rather painful ' ones in the most cynical term of the word .
