According to DeVitis (2010), the social stigma of teenage pregnancies, have popularly perceived to have lessened. However Abrams et.al (2008), had stated that the stigma that is associated with teenage pregnancy, can be profound with misery and immorality, being attributed to the teenager. When society hears teenage parents, they usually think that because of their age that they are unable to get or finish their education, being wealthy and successful, getting married and being outstanding parents. Sometimes, this stigma can prevent the teen from going back to school and doing well, because of the image that has been created of them. This is where the Equality Acts comes in, to help prevent these young parents being discriminated against. Like Melissa from the case study, people felt that she would not be able to complete school, so they therefore kicked her out. This usually has a negative effect towards individuals, as they start to feel that they are no good for …show more content…

Most people know the story of how President Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s Theater. He was shot in the head by the now infamous, John Wilkes Booth, who then fled the theater, riding a horse south into the former confederate states. He was eventually found and shot, ending a long search. Most people, however, don’t realize how badly he wanted to commit the act. The most important theme in James Swanson’s Chasing Lincoln’s Killer, is that by having extremely strong feelings or very fond beliefs towards a cause, you may end up doing something risky or even insane just to support that cause; which he proves to have been relevant even in the mid-1800’s.

Institutional discrimination focusses on the mistreatment of a larger group of people such as minorities, while individual discrimination focuses on the mistreatment of a single person. I think institutional discrimination is a more serious social issue because for the obvious reason that it affects more people, and also affects the logistics of society on a larger scale, for example, institutional discrimination has affected African-American home buyers. Statistics show that if you are African-American you are sixty percent less likely to get approved for a home loan, not only is their approval chance less but if they do get approved statistics show that their loan interest rates are also higher than that of white people. These statistics are
