After reading the three articles this week and our novels up to this point, it is evident that discrimination can take many forms. It is not just limited to race. In her article, Deborah L.Rhode states that “The Constitution bars discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion,national origin, and ethnicity” (246). However, many people are pre-judged ordiscriminated against solely based on their appearance, which is referred to as lookism.EssayPrompt:
