[Date of submission]

Abstract

Discrimination either implicit or explicit has been the main reason for social conflicts and social instability in the past but now the main concern is the financial stability which is the main reason of social instability. Discrimination means to insult someone either inherently or intentionally. Discrimination has many bad effects on the society. The unjust behavior by the superior over the inferior has been a major issue in every society. This proposal consists of a questionnaire of a survey that I will conduct randomly among the people of America. The conditions of the research, the factors that will affect the process and the expected results following this research are also discussed in this research proposal.

Introduction

Discrimination is an individual treatment based on the membership of that individual with a specific group or class. Discrimination involves the nature of the group and class. This nature affects the behavior of the individual. Discrimination of a certain group with q certain group causes the unjust and unlawful superiority and inferiority issues.
