FOR EXAMPLE: 

                    People and Community in Ecuador                            CUENCA -AZUAY

Families are closed and enjoy most activities together, like daytrips to the mountains or to the beach. Brothers and sisters attend social events together.

Ecuadorians are very protective of their children; children are expected to show respect for their parents and elders. Teenage girls have more restrictions placed on them than teenage boys have and are expected to assist with domestic chores and caring for their younger siblings.

 People and Community in USA

Teenagers here are very busy and overbooked. They are also given a lot of resources and privileges. They have a destructive behavior borne of a deep sense of entitlement and a desire to let loose and have fun after being constantly stressed out.

Los adolescentes aquí están muy ocupados y sobrecargados. También se les dan muchos recursos y privilegios. Tienen un comportamiento destructivo que nace de un profundo sentido de derecho y un deseo de soltarse y divertirse después de estar constantemente estresados.

 TASK 3. Brainstorming ways to counter discrimination in one’s daily life.(Lluvia de ideas sobre formas de contrarrestar la discriminación en la vida diaria.)

FOR EXAMPLE: 

Gloria goes to her dentist for a routine appointment. She experiences panic attacks as one symptom of her long-term mental health condition. She suddenly runs out of the dental surgery in the middle of her treatment. The dentist says she is not prepared to treat her anymore because of her behaviour.

The dentist is refusing Gloria a service because of behaviour related to her disability. This may be discrimination.

But her dentist can justify that the decision if she can show that:

• she treated Gloria that way for a good reason, and it was appropriate and necessary in the circumstances, or
• she did not know or could not reasonably have known that Gloria had a disability.

Gloria acude a su dentista para una cita de rutina. Ella experimenta ataques de pánico como un síntoma de su condición de salud mental a largo plazo. De repente, se queda sin la cirugía dental en medio de su tratamiento. El dentista dice que ya no está preparada para tratarla debido a su comportamiento.

El dentista le niega a Gloria un servicio debido a un comportamiento relacionado con su discapacidad. Esto puede ser discriminación.
Pero su dentista puede justificar esa decisión si puede demostrar que:

Trató a Gloria de esa manera por una buena razón, y era apropiado y necesario en las circunstancias, o
no sabía o no podía haber sabido que Gloria tenía una discapacidad.
