based on sex, particularly against women, (gender
inequality).

bigger than women.
3. AGEISM - prejudice or discrimination on the
grounds of a person's age.
4. CLASSISM - refers to treating people unequally
based on the social class in which they belong to.

the low-income class, the middle-income class, and
the high-income class.

Example: difference in treatment based on social class;


rich are treated better than the poor.

homosexuality or gay people.

Example: legal restrictions or, in extreme cases,


bullying or even violence against homosexuals
(sometimes called “gay bashing”)

Example: an ideology by people who believe their


nation is superior to all others
