Types of Discrimination
Age discrimination
Ageism or age discrimination is discrimination and stereotyping based on the grounds of someone's age.] It is a set of beliefs, norms, and values which used to justify discrimination and/or subordination based on someone's age. Ageism is most often directed towards old people, or adolescents and children.
Caste discrimination
According toUNICEF[->0] and Human Rights Watch[->1], caste[->2] discrimination affects an estimated 250 million people worldwide.[14][15][16] Discrimination based on caste, as perceived by UNICEF[->3], is prevalent mainly in parts of Asia[->4] (India[->5], Sri Lanka[->6], Bangladesh[->7], Nepal[->8], Japan[->9]) and Africa[->10].[14] Currently, there are an estimated 160 million Dalits or Scheduled Castes[->11](formerly known as "untouchables") in India.[17[->12]][->13][18] In India the Ambedkar controversial cartoon issue rocked the parliament in May 2012 since it symbolized discrimination against castes.
Disability discrimination
Discrimination against people with disabilities in favor of people who are not is called ableism or disablism[->14].[ Disability discrimination, which treats non-disabledindividuals as the standard of ‘normal living’, results in public and private places and services, education, and social work that are built to serve 'standard' people, thereby excluding those with various disabilities.
In the United States, the Americans with Disabilities Act[->15] mandates the provision of equality of access to both buildings and services and is paralleled by similar acts in othercountries, such as the Equality Act 2010[->16] in the UK.

Language discrimination
Diversity of language is protected and respected by most nations who value cultural diversity However, people are sometimes subjected to different treatment because their preferred language is associated with a particular group, class or category. Commonly, the preferred language is just another attribute of separate ethnicgroups[->17]. Discrimination exists if there is prejudicial treatment against a person or a group of people who speak a particular language or dialect.
Language discrimination is suggested to be labeled linguicism or logocism. Anti-discriminatory and inclusive efforts to accommodate persons who speak different languages or cannot have fluency in the country's predominant or "official" language, isbilingualism[->18] such as official documents in two languages, and multiculturalism[->19] in more than two languages.

It may vary from laws that stop refusals of hiring based on nationality, asking questions regarding origin, to prohibitions of firing, forced retirement, compensation and pay, etc., based on nationality. Discrimination on the basis of nationality may show as a "level of acceptance" in a sport or work team regarding new team members and employees who differ from the nationalityof the majority of team members.
