based just on stereotypes. An example of this would be someone judging black people and thinking they

An example of this would be Hitler believing the Aryan race was superior to Jews.
, Task 2
This graph shows diversity by presenting data on
the population difference between male and
female genders. This graph shows age ranges of
people in the UK from ages 0-4 to 100+ . The right
side of the graph shows the female population in
millions. From this you can tell that the most
common age group in females is 50-54(2.4Million)
and the most uncommon is 100+ which has a
handful of people. This could be because life
expectancy is not that high in the UK. The left had
side of the graph shows the same data as the left
only for males. From this the most common age for
males is also 50-54(2.4million) and the most uncommon 100+. Overall male and female populations are
extremely similar however the female population does appear to have more In some age ranges than
the male side.
This graph shows the split between all religions in the UK.
This shows the percentage of people who believe in
different religions. From reading the data you can find that
most(59.5%) of the UK population is Christian. On the
other hand the most uncommon religion is Hinduism
which only relates to 1.3% of the population. There is an
unequal split in religion in the UK, Christianism being the
most dominant. There are also many(25.7%) who do not
belong to a religion. These are known as atheists.
This graph shows disability levels of different regions of the
UK. This shows diversity as each region of the UK has
different percentages of population that is disabled. From
reading this data, the region that has the most disabled
percentage of people is wales topping of at around 22%. The
region with the smallest percentage of disabled people is
London which goes up to 15%. Across the whole of the UK,
disability levels are fairly similar with some regions that a
