Answer to Question 1

Individual discrimination is an intentional action carried out by an individual or a small group meant to harm members of a specific group. Institutional discrimination occurs when the actions or policies of organizations exclude or harm members of a certain group. An important difference between individual and institutional discrimination is that individuals who discriminate do so intentionally whereas for institutions, discrimination may be intentional or unintentional. Examples of discrimination: individual discriminationa manager at a convenience store does not like Asians and refuses to hire them; institutional discriminationa company consistently refuses to promote women and minorities to managerial positions.
