The character of Dracula is
actually based on Vlad III or Vlad
the Impaler.
When the Ottomann Empire expanded into Romania in the 15th century, he became infamous because of the brutal punishments he inflicted on his enemies.

My Home Life as a Teen
Stigma associated with having divorced parents
Class discrimination
Peer pressure

Discrimination
How are people discriminated against in your country?
Have you ever felt discriminated against?
Is it different being a minority women than being a minority man?
![Page 27: Welcome to Romania Monica Stancu Columbia University](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102809/56649f1d5503460f94c33e00/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Discrimination :the Roma
Gender and Race Discrimination
Roma traditions: Early and arranged marriages
Why do you think getting married young would be bad?

Ethnic Tensions
Romanians vs. the Hungarian minority over Transylvania (central part of Romania)
After World War II, Transylvania was freed from the Austro-Hungarian empire and returned to Romania
However, the Hungarians living there feel that the territory belongs to Hungary

HIV/AIDSDiscrimination
Many children born between 1996-1991 were infected with contaminated blood transfusions from hospitals
"Forty percent of the HIV youngsters are not in school. The discrimination against those whose status is known is so great that many face daily harassment by teachers and fellow students. In some cases they have been expelled from school.”
Testimonial: “All the children made fun of me at my school. They said things like, “Don’t touch him, you’ll get it.” The adults saw it but didn’t do anything. One time, I fell under a tree and I couldn’t get up, and I asked my classmates to help me, but no one would and I was there for half an hour before I could get up. I was in seventh grade then. . . ”

Don’t be a Victim!
Those who are discriminated against can choose to either accept the negative label or rise above it and prove them wrong
It’s up to you!
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” (Eleanor Roosevelt)
