Question: Do you think discrimination is still a major social problem in your country?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Yes, I believe that discrimination is still a major social problem in my country, as it affects people from diverse backgrounds in various aspects of their lives.

Reason: The reason why discrimination persists is because of social, cultural, and institutional factors that reinforce prejudice, bias, and inequality, and also limit opportunities and resources for marginalized groups.

Example: For instance, discrimination can occur in areas such as employment, education, housing, healthcare, and public services, and can take various forms such as racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, or ableism.

Alternative: Alternatively, some people may argue that progress has been made in reducing discrimination and promoting diversity and inclusion, and that laws and policies have been enacted to protect people's rights and address disparities.
