Answer to Question 1

Durkheim found that religion had three elements: (1) beliefs that some things are sacred; (2) practices, or rituals, centering on the things considered sacred; and (3) a moral community, or church, that results from a group's beliefs and practices.

Answer to Question 2

Discrimination is an action. It is unfair treatment in some way. Prejudice is an attitude, a prejudging, usually in a negative way, but it can also be in a positive way.
