Let's Discuss... Why do we discriminate?

In our modern life, we see people are uncomfortable with the results of discrimination.

Racism, Sexism, ageism, and other terms are used to separate the types of discrimination, Are all of them the same? And do we need to differentiate them?

We can make the case that not everyone experiences discrimination but there is one discrimination everyone should experience if only they live long enough. And that is ageism.

Can we make a case to convince people to not discriminate?

Why do we discriminate?

Can we live without discriminating?
