Short answer

2a

A. Paolo’s classmates are discriminating against him because he is Italian. This is discrimination based on nationality. His teacher is also failing to protect him by doing nothing.

B. The employers are discriminating against Meg because of her age. They seem to prefer younger secretaries, although Meg is highly qualified.

C. Julie’s classmates are discriminating against her because she does not behave or dress in a traditionally “feminine” way. They do not accept her interests and appearance.

2b

Paolo: He should tell his parents, another teacher or the head teacher about the teasing. If necessary, he should ask a trusted adult or a helpline for advice. He should not suffer in silence because everyone has the right to study in a safe environment.

Meg: She should ask the placement agency for advice and continue applying for jobs. She could also report suspected age discrimination. She should not give up because she is qualified and discrimination in employment is illegal.

Julie: She should talk to a trusted friend, teacher or counsellor and report the bullying. She could also involve other pupils in an anti-discrimination group. She should do this because people should accept her for who she is.

Key principle

To identify discrimination:

1. Find the unfair treatment.
2. Ask what it is based on: nationality, age, appearance, gender stereotypes, etc.
3. Choose the correct action: speak to someone, know your rights, involve others and do not give up.

Check:
A — nationality; B — age; C — appearance and gender stereotypes. The answers match the advice in the text.
