However, ethnicity has contributed to ethnicity discrimination in workplaces, which has led to social evils and suffering in workplaces as people help and consider people they have shared attributes with and leaving other people suffering since they have no personal relationships. Cultural identity, therefore, contributes to discrimination and social disparities in employment, work allocation, treatment of workers, promotions, and salary levels, among others.

Harassment and Discrimination We are all called upon to treat each other equally despite the colour of one’s skin, their nationality, gender or sexual orientation. This is because individuals have no control over such factors in their lives. However, it is tragic that now and again there are reports of harassment and discrimination in different disciplines such as business and nursing. According to the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (n.d), harassment is defined as any unwelcome conduct that is based on an individual’s colour, race, sex (includes pregnancy), national origin, religion, age, and disability. Two conditions make harassment illegal. First, if the unwelcome conduct becomes an assurance or condition for continued employment. This means that the individual’s employment is dependent on their willingness to endure unwanted conduct (harassment). Second, if the unwelcome conduct becomes so severe that it would constitute a work environment to be termed as hostile, intimidating or abusive. Discrimination, on the other hand, is a different matter. Legally, discrimination has two definitions: Direct and indirect discrimination. According to Laki (2014), direct discrimination involves causing unfavourable treatment…
