Abstract:

‘Discrimination and equality’ considers the prohibited grounds of discrimination (based on age, sexuality, religion, nationality, gender, and disability); what new grounds may be emerging; and when distinctions can be drawn between people reasonably and therefore legitimately. Despite the existence of obvious inequalities at birth, justice and fairness demand a system to give everyone equal access to opportunities and, in some versions, redistribute resources to ensure that the least well-off are prioritized in an attempt to achieve equality of outcomes. These philosophical approaches provide

Abstract:

The conceptualization and moral analysis of discrimination constitutes a burgeoning theoretical field, with a number of open problems and a rapidly developing literature. A central problem is how to define discrimination, both in its most basic direct sense and in the most prominent variations. A plausible definition of the basic sense of the word understands discrimination as disadvantageous differential treatment of two groups that is in some respect caused by the properties that distinguish the groups, but open questions remain on whether discrimination should be restricted to concern only

Abstract:

The proliferation of online hate groups over the past few years has brought two main issues into focus. First, legal and political scholars have questioned the extent to which such hate speech should be regulated. Second, and perhaps more importantly, there is a great deal of concern about the effects of hate expressed online – specifically, if it incites violence and hostility between groups in the physical world. Understanding cyberhate therefore provides an important challenge for psychologists. Specifically, it is important to understand why online hate is so widespread and the content of

This chapter discusses the law on the free movement of persons in the EU. Free movement of persons is one of the four ‘freedoms’ of the internal market. Original EC Treaty provisions granted free movement rights to the economically active—workers, persons exercising the right of establishment, and persons providing services in another Member State. The Treaty also set out the general principle of non-discrimination on grounds of nationality, ‘within the scope of application of the Treaty’. All these provisions are now contained in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Ear

Laws now exist to protect employees from blatant forms of discrimination in hiring and promotion, but workplace discrimination persists in latent forms. These “second-generation” forms of bias arise in workplace structures, practices, and patterns of interaction that inadvertently favor some groups over others. This chapter reviews research on how these biases manifest themselves in the core processes of organizations—that is, how people are hired, compensated, developed, and evaluated—all of which are aspects of organizational life that tend to privilege some groups over others.

Abstract:

In societies with caste and class distinctions, and in societies marked by racial discrimination, some people are denied access to forms of employment and other valuable opportunities on the grounds that their race, gender, religion, or some other feature marks them as inferior, and hence unsuitable as candidates for these goods. Economic inequality can also involve inequality of status if being poor means being unable to afford goods that are regarded as essential to being a respectable person. These forms of objectionable inequality depend on mistaken evaluative attitudes about the significa

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the right to freedom of religion in relation to women’s right to equality and non-discrimination. Based on a holistic understanding of the positive interrelatedness of all human rights, practical synergies between freedom of religion or belief and gender equality are not only possible; they are a reality in many cases. Unfortunately, this is sometimes ignored or even denied. Some observers tend to turn concrete conflicts arising in the intersection of these two rights into an abstract normative antagonism, to the detriment of a holistic view.

Why has intersectionality fallen by the wayside of discrimination law? Thirty years after Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term ‘intersectionality’, discrimination lawyers continue to be plagued by this question across a range of jurisdictions, including the US, UK, South Africa, India, Canada, as well as the UN treaty body jurisprudence and the jurisprudence of the EU and the ECHR. Claimants continue to struggle to establish intersectional claims based on more than one ground of discrimination.

Throughout the world, groups that are socially disadvantaged have poorer health compared to groups that are more advantaged. This book examines the role that stigma and discrimination play in creating and sustaining these group health disparities. Stigma is a social construction in which people who are distinguished by a “mark” are viewed as deviant, socially excluded, and devalued. Stigma and the discrimination it engenders negatively affect health through multiple mechanisms operating at several different levels of influence. Collectively, these shape both the orientations of people toward m

It seeks to end the effects of discriminatory practices that violate the inherent equality of persons who, because they share certain attributes such as sex or skin colour, have been denied opportunities on the grounds that they are inferior or different.

Over 11 million people in the UK are estimated to have used an illicit drug at least once in their lifetime (35%). Drugs abused vary in their intrinsic potential to cause addiction and, with it, more regular and harmful use. Drug users are influenced by trends and fashions, adopting new compounds such as crack cocaine

Grounding, by contrast with supervenience, provides for metaphysical explanations of the very kind that we seek in order to understand and to manipulate aesthetic value in the world.

Two, external to the target state in question, there are suitably qualified ‘good guys’—prospective interveners who possess both the requisite military power and moral in

Unfulfilled obligations fall away and performances made in fulfilment of obligations have to be returned, according to Art 3.2.15. However, this is only a general proposition.

Chapter 6 proposes a three-pronged approach to possible human rights obligations of armed groups by distinguishing between (i) human rights obligations of groups exercising quasi-governmental authority in defined territory; (ii) human rights obligations of groups exercising de facto control over territory and population; and (iii) human rights obligations of groups not controlling territory or populations. This not only reflects contemporary international practice, but also the different capacities of armed groups and the varying circumstances in which they operate. This chapter examines each

Abstract:

Humans have only finite discriminatory capacities. This simple fact seems to be incompatible with the existence of appearances, or “looks.” It seems to be refuted by the non-transitivity of the indiscriminability of colors. Let A, B, and C be three uniformly colored sur-faces presented to the view of a subject in optimal conditions, which resemble each other perfectly except that their colors differ slightly in the following way: the difference in color between A and B (as well as the difference between B and C ) is below the discrimination threshold, but the difference between A and C is over

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the obligations that individuals who are not designated care-givers have toward those whose disability involves severe cognitive impairment in “non-structured contexts”. This might include casual encounters in routine day-to-day activities. The argument is that familiar accounts of normative ethics, including virtue ethics and (broadly) utilitarian and Kantian views, if unsupplemented and unmodified, fail to provide an adequate account of both the content of and the ground for such obligations. A more promising alternative account suggests that such obligations should b

Abstract:

This chapter explores two aspects of gradualism as they apply to delusion: the acknowledgement that it is difficult to distinguish pathological from non-pathological beliefs; and the view that there is considerable continuity between delusional and other epistemically faulty beliefs. The chapter identifies implications of these two aspects of gradualism for questions about one’s moral and legal responsibility for actions motivated by delusions. Section 2 argues that an effective demarcation between pathological and non-pathological beliefs cannot be successfully achieved on mere epistemic grou

Abstract:

This chapter is a complement to Chapter 15, concentrating on the non-pharmacological approaches to chronic pain. It features a discussion on the utility of mind-body therapies, psychosocial treatments, and technology-based therapies in the context of recovery through 12-Step programs and other mutual support groups. Such settings are commonly poorly receptive to medication management of either pain or addiction; the availability of other approaches can bridge the gap, leading to effective management of both. The therapies discussed include “movement” therapies, such as internal qi gong, tai ch

Abstract:

Principle 35 deals with guarantees of non-recurrence of human rights violations, along with some general principles and objectives. It outlines ‘institutional reforms and other measures’ as the means of achieving prevention through their contribution to the rule of law, respect for human rights, and public trust in government institutions. It also highlights the importance of adequate representation of women and minority groups as well as broad public consultation in the process. Four ‘objectives’ are listed in Principle 35: the first repeats the notion of the rule of law and the next three re

Abstract:

The political context producing the Donald Trump presidency put into stark relief the confusion, feelings of victimization, and rage of some constituencies that voted for him. Enraged, Rattled, and Wronged: Entitlement’s Response to Social Progress explores the role of entitlement in fostering inequality in the United States. Scholars and activists in recent decades have correctly incorporated the topic of privilege into discussions of prejudice and discrimination. White privilege, male privilege, heterosexual privilege, and class privilege exemplify the unearned advantages given to socially p

Abstract:

This chapter argues that an understanding of social identity processes is critical to understand when and how stigma affects health. This chapter presents a social identity analysis of the relationship between stigma and health and starts from the premise that it is particularly difficult for individuals who belong to stigmatized groups to derive a positive identity from their social group memberships. However, when individuals turn to the stigmatized group, identify with it, and draw social support from others within it, their health will be buffered against some of the negative consequences
