Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Discrimination involves actions or practices of dominant-group members (or their

representatives) that have a harmful impact on members of a subordinate group.

Discrimination may be carried out in different ways. Individuals may act on their own,

or they may operate within the context of large-scale organizations and institutions,

such as schools, churches, corporations, and governmental agencies. Individual

discrimination consists of one-on-one acts by members of the dominant group that

harm members of the subordinate group or their property. For example, a person may

decide not to rent an apartment to someone of a different race. Institutional

discrimination consists of the day-to-day practices of organizations and institutions that

have a harmful impact on members of subordinate groups. For example, a bank might

consistently deny loans to people of a certain race. Institutional discrimination is carried

out by the individuals who implement the policies and procedures of organizations.
