mechanisms of discrimination

            The Social Dominance Theory focuses on the protecting and maintenance of intergroups hierarchy and this group is based inequalities continue with three main intergroup behaviors; aggregated individual discrimination, aggregated institutional discrimination and behavioral asymmetry. These durations are significantly legitimized with the help of myths.

         

            1.Aggregated Individual Discrimination is the behavior of daily and basic discrimination by one individual to another one. This discrimination can increase to separation between groups in time. For example, the shop owner can not accept the homeless person as a customer or may not hire other persons because of their groups.

            2.Aggregated Institutional Discrimination is that using parser rules, procedures and actions for discrimination between groups by the public or private institutions. Sometimes these discriminations are doing conscious, intentionally and clear. Also, sometimes is not doing unconscious, unintended and covert. For instance, In the late 1800s and early 1900s, many black veterans were denied disability pension by the Union Army. Additionally, it is using the systematic terror to help maintain and protect the social hierarchy. The Systematic terror means that the use of violence or threats of violence disproportionately directed against subordinates. High status level person can reprieve his/her case by using his/her status. Also, it divided by three;

            a) The using the governmental power to ethnics, racial minorities or the opponents of the regime with mass arrests, trials without due process of law, extended detention without trial, beatings, and the torture of children in front of their parents by official terror. For example, In Egypt the regime was punished with execution by government of coup d’etat or collective punishment to Palestinians by USA and Israel.

           b) Semiofficial terror is the violence or bullying directed against subordinates. For example, the Cointelpro can give as an example. It was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations.

     c) It is that violence or threat of violence perpetrated by private individuals from dominant groups against members of subordinate groups. (John T. Jost, Political Psychology). For example, beginning of the 1970, some called as right and left groups have bloody fights each other in Turkey and this fight know by the government. Also, Ku Klux Klan can give an example for this title.

        

             3.Behavioral Asymmetry is well known mechanism to continue and using for social hierarchy. This is helping maintain and giving power between group based hierarchical relationships. Also, it affects by social patterns, stereotypes, legitimizing ideologies, temperamental predispositions and the operation of systematic terror. Moreover, the group oppression is pretty much a cooperative game such as placing greater emphasis on educational achievement, saving money to acquire desirable commodities, and building social networks that help their friends and family have successful careers. It has four varieties of behavioral asymmetry

             a) Asymmetrical ingroup bias is compared to suppressed groups higher in dominant groups such as providing famous.

             b) Deference or out-group favoritism is accepting the inferiority of their groups against external groups. For example, In India some people accept their inferiority of their groups against the other hierarchical external groups and another example is Uncle Toming.

            c) Self-debilitation is mean that subordinates harmless more harm their group than dominants by their own negative stereotypes such as criminal activity or using drugs.  

            d) Ideological asymmetry refers to the idea the antiegalitarian values lead one to endorse policies and ideologies promoting group-based inequality, such as support for the death penalty in the United States, which dominant group members endorse more strongly than do subordinate group members.
