The distinction is simple: prejudice is a thought or attitude; discrimination is the expression of that thought or attitude. However, prejudice does NOT automatically lead to discrimination. There is no one-to-one relationship. Prejudice can exist without discrimination, and discrimination can occur without prejudice. The two are related, but not in a strong causal relationship. Also, the institutions of society can discriminate (institutional discrimination) even though the agency is not staffed by people with prejudices.
ETHICAL CULTURE. ETHICAL CULTURE, a movement dedicated to the ethical improvement of society and the ethical growth of the individual, was inaugurated with the founding of the New York Society for Ethical Culture in May 1876 by Felix Adler and a group of his Jewish supporters.
This essay considers what we mean by the term âethical consumptionâ, offers the context for the rise of the associated movement, discusses ethical consumer practices, and analyses the political limits and potential of ethical consumption.nother important context for the ethical turn in mainstream consumer markets has been the increased focus within popular media culture on the impacts and risks of capitalist modernity, particularly in relation to the environment (Lewis 2008).
