Zulu belongs to a certain minority group. He works for Orion Works, an IT company, in Virginia. Zulu’s boss, Mike, treats him unfairly and constantly slights him in public. Zulu is not invited to social events in the office and is assigned only insignificant tasks. Which of the following is illustrated in the context of Zulu's treatment by his boss?

1) Prejudice
2) Discrimination
3) Zealotry
4) Sexism

Answer 1

2) Discrimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrimination means treating an individual unjustly on account of who they are or on account of having some type or different characteristics.

The 2010 Equality Act highlights these characteristics:

• Age and Gender,
• Race, Disability and Religion,
• Pregnancy and Maternity,
• Sexual orientation reassignment ,
• Marriage and civil partnership,

Zulu is extremely negatively treated because his boss believes he belongs to a specific group of people with protected characteristics.
