  VIOLENCE, DISCRIMINATION AND EXCLUSION   

What is discrimination, violence and exclusion?

Discrimination 

is the act of making unjustified distinctions between human beings based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they are perceived to belong. People may be discriminated on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation, as well as other categories. One of the example of discrimination is  discrimination at workplace. Usually, people who are often discriminated is the employee. The employment discrimination happens when an employee or job candidate is treated unfavorably because of age, disability, genetic information, national origin, pregnancy, race or skin color, religion, or sex.

Violence 

is the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy. Other definitions are also used, such as the World Health Organization's definition of violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation."

Exclusion 

is the act of not allowing someone or something to take part in an activity or to enter a place. While anti exclusion is Social exclusion or anti-exclusion of the process in which individuals are blocked from (or denied full access to) various rights, opportunities and resources that are normally available to members of a different group, and which are fundamental to social integration and observance of human rights within that particular group.

One of the real conflict that related with discrimination, violence and exclusion that still happen until now is anti Asian conflict. 

Ever since it came to light that the COVID-19 virus originated in Wuhan, China, incidents of hate against Asians in America have been steadily on the rise. According to a study by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, there has been an increase of 150 percent in hate crimes against Asians in the US in 2020 and it is more than double of 2019. These include attacks on people of Asian origin as well as the businesses run by them. The study found that two of the cities, where Asians have been targeted the most are Los Angeles and New York.

There were many negative effect after this Asian hate conflict happened such as 

effect to the individuals, society and country.

1. Effects of the Asian hate to the individuals: 

• Some of the Asians are verbally and physically assaulted. The worst is they did that to the Asians without knowing their age and gender.
• It is found that victims of hate crimes are more likely to experience symptoms of psychological distress than victims of non-hate crimes.
• East Asians have been publicly outcast from society, or "othered," in the wake of references to "the Chinese virus" by President Trump in tweets in March 2020.
• Asian individuals are subject to increased mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and the severe psychological effects that victims of hate crimes often develop.

A few days after Echano, a 70-year-old Filipino-American, says a man 

verbally and physically assaulted him during a walk at a Cerritos park,

the throbbing pain still lingers, and he's afraid to go outside.

2. Effect of the Asian hate to the society:

• The Asian community started to form solidarity to fight for its right with the movement of Black Lives Matter to fight against racism such as the white supremacy and xenophobia.
• The issue of Asian hatred began to attract the attention of the media asking the community to stop that hatred and start living together in a tolerant society. Yet, there are still a small number of people who support this racist movement against Asian hatred.
• The society of Asian peoples began to be excluded from others and some of them get discriminated everywhere especially at schools and workplace.

3. Effect of the Asian hate to the country:

• Some of the big business company that being racist to the Asian would not invest on the Asian country such as China.
