RE: Vocab-ability–32 (cern, cri = separate) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)

in #writing6 years ago

MY VOCAB PRACTICE.

  1. Discern
    It was difficult to discern the target because of the heavy rain.
  2. Discrimination
    Sexual discrimination occurs in competitive environments where it is common to steal power.
  3. Discrimination
    The discrimination from the great king fortold a great future where people would be able to travel quickly with machines that run on fuel.
  4. Discrete
    The mother was very discrete about her secret life from her family.

I haven't used discrimination with a positive connotation before. Didn't even know you could. Thanks for making the word neutral instead of a programmed evil word from the media. :)

Glad you learned something new. "Discrimination" based on race or creed or gender, etc, is improper.

On the other hand, "discrimination" between right and wrong, between good and bad, is necessary and beneficial.
