Seeing someone who is part of a group as a simplified set of traits or attributes can simply be considered as stereotype. It can be seen everywhere from our society to working places. Stereotyping can be by age, sex, religion, race, cast etc. For instance, in context of determining terrorist, Muslims are considered at first place worldwide. Likewise in case of Hy Dairies, the stereotyping was found under the gender as Rochelle Beauport was sidelined by the company’s top level management in perception that a woman can’t bear the heat of handling top management. (Milbradt, 2013) Social identity theory states that out-group will be discriminated by the in-group in perspective of enhancing their self-image. Homogenization, categorization, and differentiation are some of the factors that can be considered under social identity theory. For instance, in the case of Hy Dairies, the company had valued Rochelle as a minority and had offered her the opportunity for the position of marketing research coordinator which can be considered as categorization as Rochelle was categorized in the level of junior level employees by the top level management.

In David Masci article we are introduced to the theory of how racial discrimination is alive in the workforce. The article begins with a specific example, an African American women who has worked hard to advance in her employment but is held back simply because of the color of her skin. Masci’s claims and arguments are supported thoroughly with actual statistics and examples from modern society. Through his use of pathos, logos, and ethos Masci is able to structure a feeling of action, in order to recognize differences among black employees, and the amount of extra work is needed from them to advance to a position that is still held my limitations of white supremacy in America. “Discrimination still exist even if it is masked well” (7), Masci leaves no confusion to his readers it is clear and problematic that issues that black people face in the workplace are hidden to not be recognized but instead restricted by higher power and who can take those positions.

Introduction Social identification is a very important source of both one’s pride and self-esteem. Because groups give us a sense of social identity and belongingness to the social world, intergroup relations have a huge impact on the actions we engage ourselves in. “We are not born with senses of self. Rather, self arises from interaction with others” (Griffin, 2012). In this paper I will first give a summary of Tajfel and Turner’s Social Identity Theory.

Social categorization theory developed by Turner (1978) describes the categorization of people based on salient attributes like gender, ethnicity or age, resulting in stereotyping on the basis of these differences. Social categorization theory posits that similarities and dissimilarities of demographics can lead formation of different group with resulting effects on member of in-group favorably themselves to the detriment of members of out-groups social (Turner, Brown & Tajfel, 1979). Self-categorization theory explains when individuals categorize themselves by assigning to themselves the manners, actions and other characteristics they link with association within a specific group (Schmitt, Branscombe, Silvia, Garcia, & Spears. 2016). By means of self-categorization and membership of a group, people cultivate a social identity that functions as a social-cognitive scheme (customs, standards and attitudes) for their group associated action. The tendency is for the perceiver to consider these attributes as vital to his or her own personality and thus use these attributes to label others (Hoffman Harburg, & Maier, 2014).

These categories are created to classify people conceptually based on achieved and ascribed characteristics. We hold onto these categories and base them on race, gender, age, and ethnicity.

The development of social identity is influenced by various factors such as the historical, cultural and religious beliefs of the society, community or family where one is brought up. It is influenced by the behaviours and attitudes of authority figures such as parents, teachers and community leaders around them, it is also influenced by external factors such as the media, one’s peers and the overall exposure one has (Carrim, 2006, p56).
